When I was young, people (read: other kids) would accuse me of being pretentious for using vocab words. I learned to dull down my speech to please them, and lost most of my vocabulary in the process. Now i talk nurmal lik ery1 else

Same. Or rather, people just said I spoke strangely without elaborating. Once a girl told me I spoke as if I was writing a book, which made me understand better.
