Poets; well lots of people, but I'll just say people, because I've known lots that wouldn't want to be called poets: are very emotional and sometimes morbidly self-conscious. In fact, like someone said about being paranoid, that goes along with raging emotions. I always feel like I'm being attacked, if the sun goes behind a cloud, my mood changes drastically. Somebody that hasn't spoke to me in a while calls and asks: "What's you been up to?"; and I start thinking: "Hmm this person must have it in for me..."
And then I can find clues everywhere to prove that they are trying to mess me over. When they really aren't.
And it's not really me that's thinking it; it's reactions that my brain and emotions are conjuring up.
So I think that some people are constantly on the guard. For reasons that I just talked about; or because they're used to being misunderstood or messed with: so they get used to having an antagonistic position.
And that's not always a bad thing.
