no matter what i do, im always the pathetic one

There are times that people can't just keep their mouth shut. They would rather pry some other's lives than paying more attention to their personal lives or should I say to their problems. There's only one answer to your irritaton towards these miserable people... It's just so happen that you're a popular person that people can't take their eyes on you or can't help but create gossips. These peolpe are dying of your attention. They also are in need of your precious smile or Hi's and Hello's. But who can forced you to do these things?... If ignoring these people will make you comfortable then do so. I think you should live your life in a normal way with or without the presence of these bugging people. Don't feel sad because you're a better person than then.

Hey i used to be just like you. All you need to do is think of what your loved ones think of you and never care about the whole world - else you can never be truely happy. just don't mind ppl, i've learnt it the hard way. i hope you don't have to dear.

I think you need to learn not to be so touched by outsiders and allow time to block them out in your world. It is hard I know and I value sensitivity in people but you must learn when it is appropriate and how to block out the feelings when you need to be in the social aspect of things.
