Amidst the puzzle of perceptions, am I truly hard to comprehend?
Do I come across as arrogant, a demeanor misunderstood?
Is there a hint of rudeness in my actions, a vibe you can't shake off?
Do you sense indifference, a lack of care echoing through me?

But let me share a secret, beneath this exterior, I too cherish social connections.
I defy the assumptions, not what you might believe me to be.
Why harbor biases against me? I'm puzzled by these preconceived notions.

And honestly, I can't fathom why there's animosity.

In the midst of your judgments, a sense of isolation envelops me.
Strolling down the streets, concealing vulnerabilities like a cloak.
Your influence breeds self-doubt, a struggle within myself.

I grapple with your inconsistent standards, a puzzle that vexes me.
This situation feels overwhelmingly disheartening.
Straighten your thoughts, clear the confusion, and step aside.

Now I realize, this is your issue, not mine.
