You don't know the situation, but that isn't the case at all. Wish that was the case.

Why are you so sure that they don't feel the same way about you? How do you know these "bad apples" think you are a "good apple?"

Do these bad apples act like they think you are a saint? You are right about me not knowing the situation but chances are that they don't think you are that great either, otherwise they wouldn't feel the need to argue.

I am not saying this to imply that you are a bad person. It is natural to think we are always right. The problem with this thinking though is that most people think they're good, that the rest of the world is bad but the numbers don't add up. If most people think they are good apples where is the disconnect?

The point is, I don't need to be the good apple. I need to be ignored. They need to be the good apple.

According to whom? Who is this authority that is dictating what other people should be and why is this authority giving you a break?
