Nowadays I'm like a junk yard dog, I don't like people anymore.

I'm still confident, I'm still extroverted when I need to be, but I just choose to keep to myself, because people are creepy these days, don't trust them, don't like them, don't want them around.

Canada has become the land of manipulative backstabbing self victimizing rats, they creep me out.
