Unfortunately, I'm at the point where it's normal for folks who are younger than me to suspect different things about me. My favorites galleries on art websites don't help much with this either. I was never going for a flawlessly appropriate record.
This is just me wishing I didn't have so much "baggage" when it comes to unfavorable things. You're more likely to make friends when you're not perceived as "weird" or "terrible", and sometimes, that makes you friends... o.o
I would rather that I was known as someone who preferred very quaint things. Cuteness in art, courageous notions bearing a strong sense of justice, and healthy silliness for good measure. My writing was never very cute, its courage factor was very mottled, and my brand of humor was dark.
I want to be one of the good guys. :(
