A rant

A rant It’s getting harder for me to tell who actually likes my personality, and who just does the thing you do to 8 year olds or mentally handicapped people(no offense to any of them, I’m just using it as a comparison). By that I mean treating me like I’m stupid and don’t know anything and just pretending to go along with whatever I say because of my “disability”. I have actual friends who know I’m not mentally disabled, but it’s the people who I don’t know as well that confuse me. It sucks not knowing if someone likes you for you, or is pretending to out of pity.
