Quote: as being the HDW carries a definite stigma with it that I don't care to be known by.
Stigma? What stigma? I don't feel that there's a stigma attached to being the HDW. Is this a stigma that your friends have associated with you? Or do you feel that perhaps you've given yourself that stigma? I'm truly curious because I really don't feel there's a stigma attached with my being the HDW...but then again that could be because I wouldn't care if someone tried to pin one on me (I'm that type of a person though LOL).
I'm not trying to be flip about this...it's just been my experience (for me at least) that a stigma is only attached to me if I let it be attached to me...but that's just me ;-)
