I was never naive and did not seek friends in school. I was sought out for being picked on. I was different for a lot of reasons. Also, I had a mother who didn't believe that I was going through hell and always told me that if I caused trouble or got into a fight that I had "lost her support". (Support?? Really???LOL!!) Once years ago I saw one in the mall who all of a sudden thought I was good enough to talk to. I told her exactly how I felt and was actually about to throw my drink on her. She got the message and took off, acting "shocked".
