ok so the cause for my bad mood going home today was bc i ran into one of my least fav people... like usually i’m quite good with not running into them, but alas i stopped to enthuse about Fire Emblem with a classmate and somehow... he was there.
for context: i took a class with him last year, and yeah i talked casually to him bc why not. we’re all in this together and all that, right? but as the year progressed i just increasingly became.. not a fan of him at all. not only did he constantly insult my intelligence, even though i’m way smarter than him (and he could only do that bc he was grasping the language faster than me. though my performance learning a BRAND NEW and DEAD language shouldn’t be thought of as telling about how smart i am elsewhere, but whatever) i think the most ironic thing is is that once he forgot to do his work, and me being generous let him copy mine. well the prof walks in as he’s doing that and he’s like ‘are you.. copying her work?’ dude straightens up and goes ‘yeah right, she never gets the answers right so why would i want to’ and he thought he was being so funny, but nobody laughed and the prof was like ‘wow that’s kinda rude’ - like yeah, SUPER INSULTING. then he tried to keep copying from me?? so ofc i shoved him away like, nah man you can’t call me dumb and then think i’ll still let you do that. just get away from me.
okay maybe too much backstory, in sum though: he’s sexist, full of it, and treats me like i’m dumb (??) and he also has this problem of treating me like a *~special snowflake~* - like if i like a “guy” thing (aka nerdy/geeky things) i’m shocking!! impressive!! one of a kind!! and i tell him NO there are tons of girls who like what i like too but he doesn’t listen. i think what made it worse is that it (very apparently) seemed like he had a crush on me. like #1 i don’t like you #2 how can you talk to a person you like like that? you’re constantly insulting me, you think you have chance? it’s not as charming as you oh so obviously think it is.
so today was one of those days where i unfortunately had the displeasure of seeing him. he interrupts the convo i was having going ‘what were you talking about’ - so i tell him just videogames. he turns to me all in shock ‘you play videogames?!’ ‘yess..?’ ‘that’s surprising! just another thing that makes you one of a kind, you don’t see many girls playing those!’ and just.. yeah. no.
Me and guy friend = NOT IMPRESSED and we both shut him down right away saying that it’s actually not rare?? tons of girls love videogames. the convo kinda kept on like that and like.. it didn’t work. eventually he left thank goodness but it really got me feeling all UGHHH bc i hate interacting with him.
