sherlock gets people but he doesn\u2019t get people. he can read their lives and motivations like a menu, but he can\u2019t make friends. he tries to deduce people like, look how clever i am and look how well i understand you, and they cringe away from him and call him a freak. <\/p>\n

he put the wind up everybody. we all hated him. so casually. who wouldn\u2019t hate him? and sebastian says that right in front of john, too. why shouldn\u2019t he? why shouldn\u2019t people refer to sherlock with casual disgust and contempt in front of his only friend? sherlock\u2019s feelings mean nothing to people. so why would he acknowledge that he has any? my life isn\u2019t heartbreaking, because i don\u2019t have a heart. please don\u2019t pity me for being trampled. please don\u2019t see how damaged i am. <\/p>\n

no wonder he\u2019s mortified by any allusions to his intellectual failings. he thinks all he brings to the table is his usefulness and his usefulness is comprised in his intellect. and his willingness to crawl about on his front with a glass to his face, as mycroft is unwilling to do. he\u2019s a brainy little errand boy who has to fight and claw for every ounce of respect he ever earns, and it\u2019s still always given with a sneer.\u00a0<\/p>\n

and he meets someone who helps him to see that it isn\u2019t only his mind that\u2019s impressive, it\u2019s his soul. his capacity for goodness and optimism. his thirst for justice. but the work of uplifting himself, he does it himself! he absorbs what he learns from the few people who do actually respect and care about and love him, and it takes him years, and it\u2019s painful and difficult, but tries to be good. he tries so hard to be good. not just right, but good. in part, OF COURSE, because he admires and loves john and wants john to return those feelings. but also because at his core, he is a do-gooder. he is so tough and brave and i am so so proud of him. <\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
