One on One
Master Don Juan
The more I think about tonight, the more I realize how damaging it was for me. Basically, I'm out with like 6 people and I say hardly anything at the dinner. So, in the car ride back, one of the girls who I'm friends with is being nice and asks me if I had fun. It was a situation where I could show enthusiasm and it would be seen as fake or be unenthusiastic as I was. I unenthusiastically said, "yeah it was cool."
So, people in the car are laughing since they can tell I obviously didn't have that great of a time. I didn't care about this.
Then, my friend says I sounded like Max from the Conan O'Brien show. OK, no problem yet.
Then, the girl next to me who I'm friends with (and who had a few drinks) says, "you're like Max to [friend's name] Conan". She was referring to how I was so quiet tonight and my friend is all outgoing and charismatic all the time, like I'm his sidekick or some ****, **** that. OUCH! Then, the other girl said something to show how she realized how damaging that comment was and then the girl who said it finally got it and shut up about it.
Now, I'm terribly depressed because, as far as I've come, I am still seen this way in the presence of my friend. I don't know what to do...I don't have any other friends.
