I payed no mind to the school shooting recently, and shrugged when my mom had told the news to me when I got home. Since it was on a Friday it had the whole weekend to have the full impact on everyone in the school I go to. When we got back on Monday everyone was of course talking about it. Someone asked me about it, as I'm known for not caring for people I guess. I just responded with "I don't care". Apparently being fixed on not caring is a bad thing, because I was immediately bombarded by "how don't you care?" and other multitudes of things like "you're horrible" and other phrases I'd rather not say. It got to the point where I felt like everyone was just yelling at me and I got so frustrated at them. My rage soon came out and I started yelling back things like "I don't GET how you can understand!". I guess then they remembered that I was also the biggest hot head there. My couple friends in the group didn't get mad though, which I like. My synopsis of this post is, though, is that has anyone had an experience like this in a community you belong to? Where you feel ostracized because you don't get why people are so up in arms about things or you just don't understand and they get mad? I'd like to know other peoples thoughts on this.
