shiver me timbers.

done done done done!!!!!!
How is my picker SO bad?! I thought I'd learned. I thought I knew how to scrutinize people and look out for the ones that weren't nice. How hard is it to be nice!? I don't think that I am sought out by people looking to take advantage of someone. Instead I seem to be this clandestine doormat. Normal, average people come into contact with me and initially see a strong person, no one sees me as a victim. But somehow the layers get peeled back and my true self is revealed. These seemingly nice people just can't help themselves. A woman that appeared strong, fortified and indestructibly cheerful has now revealed herself as a weak, defenseless and eternally seeking praise sort of pusillanimous individual. And what is a normal person to do? Why then, s/he seeks to ruin said pillar of strength. Tear down any resolve, expose every weakness, exploit every fault to make sure that the pillar then knows that she is nothing. She is a crappy, frail, supine individual made into a malleable creature just seeking your condemnation.
Bring it on, World. I can take it all.
