i have many friends who love me a lot and are very kind . they are willing to do very sweet things for me , unflinchingly . so i dont really know why i assume myself to be so unlikable ?

    heres my friend switching out the wheels of my quads . he gifted me the wheels off his old, retired pair for free !!! :) hes one of the greatest skaters i know and always has something funny to say

    this is my local rink (well, a blurry shot of it off my phone whilst i was on the floor, lol) . its lackluster in comparison to the other rinks in my area -- which all have considerably larger floors, no water damage, and arent .. in what is essentially a shed adjacent to a jewish community center (nothing wrong with a jewish community center, of course, the zoning is just a little peculiar in my opinion xD) but .. its where all my friends are, so every day i return :)

    maybe the lesson learned is that even if youre not super likable -- abrasive, assertive, etc -- that people will like you anyway . which is cool , because i dont think being asocial is a moral failing . maybe its just another thing about you .
