                | This is Rejection - Most people 
                    are terribly preoccupied |   
                | with thoughts, feelings, and dreams - 
                    If you say or do |   
                | something outside those boundaries, they feel 
                    they have |   
                | to work too hard (to keep their instincts 
                    to throttle you in |   
                | check), so they try to take you out of the 
                    picture - |   
                | They don't want to acknowledge you as a 
                    person. |   
                | 
 |   
                | "You do this part-time; 
                    it's a hobby?"Afraid not.
 Why shouldn't people do what they're 
                    good at?
 |   
                |  |   
                |  |   
                | "Better luck next 
                    time."Wicked, huh?
 I'm better off right now.
 |   
                |  |   
                |  |   
                | "Please be quiet! ... 
                    Shut up!" For what?
 You don't have to make speeches ...
 What's your offer?
 |   
                |  |   
                |  |   
                | "Can I use your 
                    name if they don't go for it?"Quite unnecessary.
 You're a living person.

                | People can get very mixed up - They switch 
                    from acting |   
                | like their mother to acting like their father 
                    at the drop of a |   
                | hat, which is essentially crazy - Using 
                    "good-natured" |   
                | lies, they confuse having someone under 
                    their thumb |   
                | with liking them - It feels like they're 
                    upstaging you. |   
                | 
 |   
                | "What time do you come in in the morning?"Very funny.
 You must feel left out.
 |   
                |  |   
                |  |   
                | "Are you using 
                    this or are you done or what?"[the ATM not far from the counter
 where you're filling out a deposit slip]
 Way ahead.
 I'm starting to have fun.
 |   
                |  |   
                |  |   
                | "Your hood is 
                    up."Much better!
 It's supposed to be modern art.
 |   
                |  |   
                |  |   
                | "Don't sell yourself short."YOU SHOULDN'T!
 Grab every scrap of happiness you 
                    can.
