I just wanna run. I love running. Its one of the very few things that makes me happy. When im running i feel alive. I feel awesome when im running, especially when I start getting tired. Life seems like its worth it when im running. I really wanna run my fastest but I’m scared of doing so because I’m afraid I might make people uncomfortable. One time in high school i was at track practice and i was trying my best and everything and some kid made fun of me and called me a “try-hard”. Now that i think about it, i could’ve just replied to him and said “try-easy”. But my point is that i love running and i especially love running my fastest but i make people uncomfortable i guess. I don’t know what I’m doing wrong. I dont understand how i become an asshole just cuz i wanna run fast. I dont want to upset anyone. Surely there’s nothing wrong with me…right? I get nasty looks from people sometimes when im running my fastest. Some people think im running from someone. I havent ran a 400meter since junior yr in high school but I’m aching to get back out there and just do what i love. Should i just do me?

Yes, just do you! You’re not an a**hole, people are. Maybe you should attach a banner on your back that says “I Just love running!” so while you’re running, it’s waving behind you and people will know you’re not running from someone. Don’t be afraid to do what makes you happy because it’s your life, not theirs.
Definitely! Running makes you happy, you love it, why would you give it all away just because few people don’t like it?
If it doesn’t directly hurt others, it’s a good thing you can do for yourself. Do what you love.
