I Hate Crowds

Today's gathering/dinner just confirmed my belief. I hate crowds. Totally.
What is wrong with people? They want to mingle, they talk over each other, they gossip about one another, they make lots of noises and are altogether unproductive. What did they achieve in the long two to three hours?
Of course I am, like, the center of their attention. Why? Because I have a freaking henna artwork on my right arm. The entire arm from shoulder to fingers are covered with henna.
They dont understand, they dont know. I had to explain to lots of people, mostly Gen X and Gen ZZ. "This is henna, it isnt permanent, it fades in a week, it is for school" Repeat and repeat. They claimed they understood, which is just another lie out of their mouths.
It is just a racial cultural artwork. Why cant they just accept it? So they stare and stare and stare some more. Kids stare and go eww! Adults stare and shake their heads. I SO needed their approval, Not.
I wore black. I dont greet my uncles with auspicious greetings. I dont...I should...
The evening was filled with this kind of comments.Did I do something to incur their wrath? Have they nothing else to do? Am I such a good kid that with the henna I turned into a bad kid? What is wrong with THEM?
Stupid, egoistic, chauvinistic, conservative, overly full of themselves, that's what I say of them.
All I can say is, I could have better spend my time.

Another thing, my cousin went to her friend's house to play cards. At 11pm. My mother was like totally cool with that, but I know she will never allow that with me. My uncle says that I am good and likes to stay home. She says I do go out sometimes. Ya, key word is sometimes. Underlying implication is "when she allows it, which is not so often, mostly during holidays which are darn far away".

Last thing, I have this cousin who is around 4 years old perhaps. Probably autistic. He is in his own world. He plays and eats and does whatever he wants, nobody dares to do anything to him against his wishes. When he doesnt get what he wants, he hits, bites and slams into people. Even his mother. Yes, he slapped his mother in the face and his mother just lightly tapped his hand. The end result, he starts crying and everyone panders up to him again. My first reaction towards him was dislike. The next, disgust. I would just slap this kid upside down for daring to throw tantrums. He cant even talk. Irritating.

All in all, worthless evening.
