[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]So what exactly is your problem, OP?
Would you rather she didn't congratulate you or seem indifferent?
You honestly come off as pretentious.
Like you want so badly to be above  social norms and this engagement is upsetting your  rebellion against society.

I guess I just felt like *I* should feel that excited. But, this thread has been very good and cathartic for me. I get exactly why things have gone the way they have, and it has nothing to do with rebellion. My (chosen) narrative would have gone very much by "societal norms", but I knew the choices I was making that they didn't were the right ones. So, I apparently rebelled out of default.. And maybe in a weird way, that was a blessing.

And I don't mean to sound pretentious... I was just really confused as this wasn't something I expected and it was a really ambivalent feeling I had. I'd set my sails by the life I had known to come to expect. Who doesn't feel a little thrown off by a plot twist? [/quote]
