\u201cThese people don\u2019t get me. Anything I say or do gets taken out of context. It\u2019s so disappointing because all I try to convey is positivity. It\u2019s about trying to make connections with people who don\u2019t get me. It is to make people laugh, or make children feel loved.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
