Theory of mind

I know what you mean. My friends sort of end in physical contact outside of school, other than that I only talk to them through Facebook, which confuses and scares me. I tried getting a friend to explain the relevance of the 'poke' button.... why not just poke them when you meet them???

I try my best to avoid the hierachy in school at all costs, the only time I dabble in their social spectrum is when the 'Queen Bee' (most popular girl) asks for help with her homework. I think I've been given the rank of 'Know-it-all', they don't know it, so I should, or I'll at least narrow down the search for them. Its good because when I do make attempts at social contact they don't call me out on mistakes, they just ignore them politely.

Luckily for me theres a small group of people (my friends) who are what we've dubbed 'the social rejects'. They aren't into mainstream conversation material and find my sometime eccentric or in depth explainations funny or interesting. By having this small 'pack' as it were, it seems to strengthen each individuals confidence, and as we don't concern ourselves with ranking and all the little formalities we're all ready to jump to the others defence against the 'normals' without arguing who talks first.

I think the reason I get on with them so well is because we all know the rules, we can acknowledge the rules, but we have the ability to kick them out the window and laugh about it for a while, or even make fun of the normals for just being normal.
