Seema — The Snob
While sketching her, Seema told me that she is a snob. Or at least people say so.

Why, I asked her.
Well, I guess I have high standards and too many people have disappointed me too many times. So I started putting that filter on years ago, she told me.
Everyone does that a little bit, Seema.
Yeah well they do. But if they called everyone a snob, I would lose my status. I kinda like being one.
Why? I probe.
Its a great cover, you know. I get hurt that much less.
I’ve always been fascinated by snobs. I’ve been called one way too many times in my life and I would be lying if I said that I didn’t use it as a cover. Being the introvert that I am, I use to cover my anxiety and inner refusal to start a conversation. I am in no way trying to defend all snobs, but it’s worth reminding yourself that you don’t need to judge them all the time. Let them fight their own battles while you fight yours.
