Madness In My Method

I can understand someone laughing at a person's little quirks. That's how I see myself - too busy with science stuff to even know who sings a song playing on the radio, let alone the name of an author of the Harry Potter books. My brain just doesn't work like that - Trivia Pursuit gives me the hives. That's what makes a person unique and each of our friends have them. But when the other person actually sees something like that as a flaw in the person, then I that's when I start to take offense. That's when I start to wonder if they see me in such a negative light, then why are they hanging around? If I see someone who is prone to theft, I don't see it as a little quirk and I don't want to be around the person. If something about a person bothers you that much, then why stay friends?
