It's my third day at my new club, and it had to happen sooner or later: I pissed another dancer off. I don't even know her name, but she was in the dressing room talking to nobody in particular about her anti-depressants, and how she hated her doctor, because he gave her a weak prescription that wore off after about four hours. I'm on the same one, so I asked her, "Does this doctor hope to ween you off of pills, or are you planning to take them for a while?" She turned and said, "You know what? You don't know me, or my life, and I don't want to talk about it, so why don't you just mind your own fucking business."
Now, I know that no matter how nice you are, someone is always out for you, I got used to that a long time ago. I also know that her outburst probably had nothing to do with me and was more her problem than mine. I got over it and went back out and sold more dances. I just try to be the best dancer I can be and hope that I don't get in anyone's way. But all I'm learning from these experiences is that I should never open up to people, because it's rude for me to do so. This is why I stick to myself at clubs, and hardly ever talk to anyone: no matter what I say, someone wants to shove it back down my throat.
