Today I decided I was going to be a completely negative person. I'm usually neither really positive nor negative, so I thought this was going to be interesting to everyone that is around me. I woke up, and said good morning to my roommate. We usually eat breakfast together and talk about our daily events. She had told me she was starting her first day at a flower shop that afternoon. My response was 'that sucks.' she kind of just looked at me and didn't say anything. She kept talking and then asked me what my plan was. I gave her a list of my errands for the day, and said them in a very monotone way, as if I didn't care either way. She raised her eyebrows and said 'sounds like fun' and I gave a sarcastic reply and went into my room. I immediately felt like an asshole, but tried to brush it off.
I went to my first errand, the bank. The teller was being unusually slow and I was getting irritated so after I made my deposit, I said thanks hastily with a dirty look and walked away. I could feel people looking at me as I turned so I ran out as much as possible. The rest of the day went about just like that. The fun comes around 5 when I met up with friends for dinner. Usually when we have our monthly outings, we all dress up for an excuse to dress up. I decided to wear ripped jeans and a T-shirt. My friend Randi looked at me and asked if I had been working on an art project before I arrived. I made an offended face and asked her what the point was of dressing up. She just looked at me shocked and didn't talk to me for the rest of dinner. As everyone shared stories about their week, I just kept looking off, not saying anything, or being completely negative. I could feel that all of my friends were getting really irritated with me. I found that it was easier to be negative this time because my mood had taken a dive from being rude all day and getting looked at funny.
