I'm Told

I'm told I'm an odd child, Emotionless, but sensitive, A people pleaser, but always say no, Indecisive, but make "irrational" choices, I'd say I'm just misunderstood, But I guess that's just another word, Another "excuse", for being weird. I listen to the same two bands 24/7, But I'm told that's abnormal. I (sometimes) interrupt people, Only because I never get to speak, Yet I'm ignorant? Always feeling anxious, But "I'll grow out of it", "No big deal!", "Don't worry about it", That's what I'm told. Because I overthink, I'm selfish? Because I said no, I'm rude? Because I didn't quite hear you, I'm thoughtless? Because I revolve around music, I'm obsessive? Because I stim and squirm around, I'm ADHD? Because I'm "controlling", I'm autistic? Because I'm all of this, I'm odd? Well that's what I'm told.

I feel like this a lot Jaiah, and being told by people that I talk to much is a joke to them but generally hurts my feelings. - Phoenix :)
