No, I'm not okay. Do you have to ask?

[Catharsis]

I understand when people are concerned about me. Yes, I'm going through what most people would consider a live-action soap opera the past few months, except that it's real and raw and now. I appreciate the genuine concern, and the sympathy to a certain extent, but I truly resent it when people feign caring just to squeeze gossip out of me.

Yes, it's interesting. My life is interesting, gd it, and I want my boring life back. I'm sure we're the talk of the town, the newest scandal, fodder to ignite dull conversations. Heck, it's better than primetime TV. It *did* make it on the evening news. But GAWD, people, do not poke people's emotional scabs out of sheer curiosity. Our hardships are not for your entertainment. My family is not a ****ing circus act.

No, I don't want to talk about. No, I won't feel better if I "let it out", and certainly NOT with the likes of you. No, I'm not suicidal, jeez, as if I'm ever not emotionally stable. Yes, I'm losing weight, but seriously, how do you expect me to force down food when people stare at you across the restaurant? Yes, I'm frigid; my poker face concerns you, NO, I will not show you my "true self".

Butt off. Get out. Mind your own business. I know kalimasada and I'm not afraid to break your limbs.

Kalima-wha?

Yeah, I hate those people who always get in you business. They always make it worse while they're trying to make it better.

I'm okay with concern. Really, I appreciate it.

But these people... They're just trying to get gossip they can pass on to the next tingling ear. I hate that.

You should stop eating at places where 45 year old women congregate. I know that chicken rice is awesome, but sometimes you have to bite the bullet and settle for the upscale coffee shop if you really want privacy. It's a bit more expensive and the sandwiches kinda suck, but the clientele is all young people who don't care about anything 8D

That's in my hometown. Frickin' small towns; everyone knows everyone, and isn't that fricking dandy.

Thankfully, I've escaped to the city where people are too self-absorbed to whisper about me while I eat. And yes, I did find that the upscale yuppy neighborhoods respect my personal space. You know what? I think I'll live in Starbucks.

Well, that's the downside of living in a little "peaceful" town. Back where I grew up (hooray for the mountains >_>), practically everyone knew everyone else's business, and would have no problem gossiping. What was really bad was when the news makes it's way back to you, only the person telling you doesn't know it was you and the story got super twisted.

At least you found some respite. That's the best reason I've ever heard for Starbucks to exist.

(Which is why I'm so glad I moved to another country...I don't need people talking about what I do now XD)
