Sa lahat ng nagsasabing masungit ako...

...hindi kayo nagkakamali. Masungit talaga ako sa tunay na buhay, dahil matagal bago ako mag-warm-up sa mga tao, at usually ay wala akong pakialam sa kanila.

Sabihin na nating pride or what have you. On my end, masungit talaga ang dating ko kahit kadalasan ay hindi ko sinasadyang magsungit. Straightforward din kasi akong magsalita, and I don't really beat around the bush when it is uncalled for. Add to that the fact that I mainly confined myself to books and science experiments when I was growing up, and you pretty much have a person with the makings of a recluse.

Pero hindi naman ako laging masungit, and once I warm up to people, I try to make up for my misgiving, kung matatawag man na ganun ang pagiging masungit generally. Nagsusungit ako deliberately kapag may ayaw akong makausap o kapag ayaw kong nasasayang ang oras ko. Nagsusungit din ako sa tao kapag hindi siya mahalaga sa akin at pretty much apathetic ako sa kung ano man ang mangyari sa kanya. Kaya kapag madalas akong masungit sa kung kanino man, he or she had better start thinking what he or she is doing wrong with regard to whatever relationship we have - friends, work partners, whatever.

Generally, nagsusungit ako by just ignoring people and keeping mum. Pero if the person is too daft to get the signal to back off (as I find some people are these days) eh I get curt. And nobody wants me to get curt, because all diplomacy leaves my being and my words and gestures become as sharp as knives and as acerbic as hydroflouric acid.

Anyhow, bakit ko ba isinusulat ito? Una, para ma-warningan ang lahat ng taong mahalaga sa akin about quirks in my personality. Getting to know of sorts, kumbaga. Pangalawa, para balaan ang mga nilalang (two, to be exact) na nagungulit sa akin these past couple of days to BACK OFF OR I SWEAR YOU'LLGET WHAT'S COMING TO YOUR LIVES, YOU SYCOPHANTS! LEAVE ME IN PEACE OR ELSE! AND I MEAN MY "OR ELSE!"!
