Feeling Outnumbered
S. Hein

Dec 7, 2014
Crazy house - Montevideo, Uruguay

This afternoon in the crazy house about 8 of the people are listening to music in the back patio. Mathew changed rooms today and took Anita's old room on the second floor, just across from my room. He has his amplifier speaker in the window facing the patio.

It is so loud that there is no escaping the music anywhere in the house. Not even on the roof. In the quietest place on the roof the wifi connection is bad. So I am going out.

I feel outnumbered because, like usual, I am the only one in pain.

I don't want to ask them to turn it down. I think you can understand why if you have been in my kind of situation enough times in your life. I understand more and more why people get afraid of other people -- what is known as "social anxiety disorder."

Right now I am sitting on the steps outside the crazy house typing this.The door behind me is closed and I can still hear the music. It stresses me. This reminds me of another specific time but I can't quite recall the details.

But I often feel outnumbered. This is why I am not a big fan of democracy. I am usually in the minority.

PS - Now I am down in the basement. It is quiet here! haha

Now I am outside again. I thought it was getting quiet inside so I went back in. I tried to go to my room but the noise was too painful. I decided I will go back to La Paz.

I remembered this...something I have thought of befoe...

Wherever I go, I am surrounded by people who don't care about me. - S. Hein
