To add what I said earlier, there is no reason to be defensive about it. The big V is not a burden. For me it lasted well until I was 20. I commend you for your ability to have standards, but you have to tolerate them being intolerant. That's the burden of toleration. You'll be the stronger, wiser, individual once you get a hold of the fact that your standards are for you only. It doesn't amount to a hill of beans what the others think, what they think has nothing to do with you.
