I am content with my snooty attitude.

[WhitleyLyles]

I don't generally speak to strangers. I don't smile at them either. I don't frown either. I walk around with a pleasant look on my face but I don't try to look happy.
I do other things like open doors or hold the door for someone coming in behind me.
I do judge the way people look. And I will walk in a door as far away from someone I think looks disgusting. I never give change to beggars. I will lie and tell them I don't have any money. But I have bought a big thing of water and a sandwoch for this homeless guy around here that I see often. Its hot here and I don't want the guy to diea slow and painful death of dehydration.
I don't hug anyone outside of my children and husband. I don't hug my inlaws, let alone peck them on the cheek. The thought repulses me.
My daughter is beginning to be the same way. It makes me sad at times, then other times I chalk it up to her being an apprehensive six year old. I encourage her to speak when spoken to and have manners. I don't make her talk to strangers though.
I grew up with a mom that was just like this. I suppose that's where it came from.
I don't get offended when someone calls me a snob. I don't particularly like the term "bitch" but oh well. What can you do, whine about it? No.
I guess I made this post to explain myself.

I absolutely understand.  I'm exactly the same way except I've never even given food to a homeless person, probably because I don't see them regularly.  One of my best friends has an ex-husband who said that I'd drown when it rains the first time he met me.  My response was oh well, if that's what you think I could care less because he smelled bad and was skanky.

Shocking first reply.

My mom used to tell me that I had a snobby attitude when I was younger. So I changed it, I am now very loving and giving. I like it better this way, really. If I see a homeless person I will give them a water or Ill get them something from McDonalds. It isnt that hard to be nice and I wouldnt want my kids to be the way I used to be. They will have little or no friends if they are.

I'm kind of the same way. I have to be guarded and have always had to be that way in this City. That's just how it is.

I don't know how to feel about you. You always seem so snarky here, but I guess you are like that IRL too, so whatever makes you happy at the end of the day.

Ok

Not me. I'm that annoying person who is always smiling and saying, "HEY! HOW ARE YOU!"

[WhitleyLyles]
