Scapegoat

Don't you hate it when people get mad at you for no reason, but are completely willing to take it out on you and not tell you about it? I think I am the poster child for it. I seem to be able to find people in my life who are going to be mad at me when they can't fix their own lives, but I am going to represent everything that's going wrong for them. The fact that I just do my thing and don't bother with other stuff just drives them crazy to the point they feel that I have wronged them if I have a bowl of soup or wear my furry mules. Suddenly, everything is my fault. But really, fuck that.

I don't really like being someone's scapegoat or punching bag while they channel everything they hate about themselves or their lives into making me feel bad about something. Either I'm lazy, or intruding, or messy or stupid or annoying or really whatever it is that springs to their minds at the given moment of bitterness. And I'm not any of those things. Usually.
