Step Up.

If you ever feel the need to explain your choices to people, just so you can escape being mistaken by them, well, first of all, you're not alone, and second of all, it's not going to do you any favours, to just put yourself in predicaments that are unnecessarily complicated. Remember, you giving your time to anyone is you being generous, you don't owe it to them, just like you don't owe explanations about yourself. Go ahead and live life as you please.

Hello there, I'm 'the Earthian'. I call myself that with the intent of being a little more collective, and inclusive of this planet. It gives me a vague sense of pride and a unique sense of identification.

You don't have to be arrogant to anyone, you don't have to be rude, but you can always and should always tell people if and when you're uncomfortable. Your feelings matter, as much as theirs and it's as important for them to be as considerate about yours as you are about theirs. You can only give so many hints and clues before you will have to step and just tell them what you truly feel. It's not cowardice to just give them clues but it certainly not going to get you by all the time for sometimes people just fail to take them. You don't have to be an assertive person for you to let people know you don't like something. Lastly, if you don't find ways to keep yourself comfortable, nobody else will either, mostly because they don't need to and probably because they like it this way. Step up.

Love, peace.
