Fuck yeh. I always got told I was unsocial beause on the bus to college everyday (which took 2 hours) I would listen to my music instead of talk to people. They never talked about anything interesting, just gossip. They didnt understand that for that 2 hours I was in my happiest place. I got picked on because of it, but it never brought me down :)
When i was in 8th grade, all everyone cared about was looks and popularity and hating on others. And I sat there brave enough to say I dont care because I had Gaga and other singers.
