It makes me feel vulnerable, like I'm exposed. I feel a need to hide myself. I hate being the person that is attracting the attention.
I feel the same way when wearing light colours, that's why I only wear black.

It was just too boring, and sometimes plainly offensive. I kept correcting the teachers, and they kept stuttering.
The last confrontation I remember in school, was when our Philosophy teacher, was telling us that animal lives have no meaning to humans. He felt that if a dog is in danger, no human will care if he dies. So, that was one of those offensive moments.
Plus, a Catholic School is not the greatest place to be, for an Atheist.

They used to buy me all colours, but I only used to wear the black items. So now, they mostly buy me black clothes.

I might...

Well people do hug me, so I just try to "hug" them back. I don't think I'm doing it right.

I'm just picky.

It just gives me a buzz, instead of getting drunk between classes.
I don't
have to smoke, as sometimes I just stop for 2 weeks, just cause I don't feel like it. So I don't think there is any kind of "quitting" involved. I just have my phases. It used to be books and hookahs, then movies , now it's music and ciggies. Will see what'll happen next year.

Also, if everyone comes into film-making school knowing how to make "good" movies, then there really wouldn't be a point to having a film school at all. So, I assume people there expect movies to start off kind of rough.

I don't care what other people think. I'm scared that I realise myself, that I'm one of the bad directors.

You say your friends see you as asexual. By asexual do you mean gender neutral OR do you mean having no sexual feelings? My guess is someone you know personally views you as a sexual being!

I'm gender neutral, but my friends feel I'm asexual.
Though, I'm not far from being asexual. It also comes in phases.
