You know what Jake....when I see someone make as many enemies as you have obviously made....I don't blame the people that are criticizing you. I might not side with them either, but one thing I will do is blame the person that is being ridiculed.
Especially when I see that the people that are looking down on you are well spoken, intelligent and speak from honest experience.
I'm not saying that I am perfect...because I am not, and I don't want you to turn this around on me and make a feeble attempt at attacking me.
What might be healthy for you to is...for your sake and for your future happiness in socialistic environments....is figure out what behavior of YOURS is causing this sour attitude towards you. It is not them just being mean or being "immature", because in all truth, I don't think they are being very aggressive at all. Something YOU did is causing there reaction towards you, and unless you change that behavior....this is the kind of thing you will face your entire sociallife.
Just a thought, and I'm not saying thisbecause I am all wise and knowing...I'm saying thisin concern for a fellow hunter and fellowhuman being. Just something to think about!
