Sometimes

I get too enthusiastic when I talk or I’m ranting about something. And people think I’m pissed about something.

I get so freaking involved in what I’m doing or I’m genuinely passionate about what I’m saying and I come across too frank or like I’m raging at the person I’m talking to. I hate upsetting people.

What really fucks with my head though is when people tell me they love my rants and live hearing me talk one minute and they’re accusing me of being angry the next. As much as I see their points, I’m getting really tired of having to spend twice the amount of energy just having a conversation. Because when I act naturally I just end up upsetting someone or pissing them off.

It feels like there’s no way around it at all. Maybe I should just be walking around with some sort of disclaimer around my neck.
