what does it mean when everyone knows something about you but wont bring it up to you>be me>grow up rough turn out to be petty thief>steal something and finally get caught around the time i turned 21>whole community finds out and is shocked since they always just saw me as an autistic nice guy>about 3 years goes by move around end up with a new job not too far away from my old town>on co worker is having money trouble as a young father so i give him so stuff to sell>one day walking by co worker>"idk man he seems like a nice guy but there's all these rumors he stole something like idk man">he sees me walk by him now>"oh hey whats up anon"What i did was wrong, i paid for it, continue to pay for it and i understand people seeing me this way is apart of my punishment but why havent any of them brought it up to me? also i dont blame him for saying/thinking that
>>31536585Obviously it would be crass to bring up something embarrassing like that. They're trying to be nice so don't start stealing shit again.
>>31536589i'm not. I know it was wrong now and i havent stolen in years now. I'm gonna start giving back more to society but so far ive just tried to do good in my everyday life and help people i come across in need
what good would bringing it up to you do exactly? they already think you're piece of shit faggot thief and they're not wrong.
>>31536600yeah i guess thats true
>>31536597>>31536603It's ok. You fucked up. You're doing better now. But this is what a reputation is. At least they don't mean as much as they used to. Hey, not so long ago you might've had a hand cut off for thieving. So a little bad rep isn't all that, is it?
>>31536638yeah plus i actually took enough to be considered a felon but the person i did it to just dropped it when i return the stuff. i know i deserve this and i did it to myself
>>31536585It's called discretion and kindness.
