    Summary

    Data overhears something in Ten Forward and thinks that maybe the thing holding him back from being more human is his appearance.

    - At that moment a duo of engineering ensigns enter the bar, taking seats at the counter. One of them looks over his shoulder, making fleeting eye contact with Data. If Data is correct there was something other than a friendly glance in that look.
    “God it's here again!” One of the ensigns whispers to his friend. If not for Data’s comparatively enhanced hearing he may not have picked up on it.
    “It’s just so creepy, and I can’t believe that everyone expects me to treat it like it’s actually a person!”
    Looking around, Data confirms that he is in fact the only non-human life form in Ten Forward besides Guinan. Were they talking about him? He believes that Deanna would call this “gossip.”
    “Seriously, if it wants to be human so badly why doesn’t it try a little harder to look the part?” -

    Summary

    Sometimes it's all too much.

    (Or: "5 Times Data Has a Meltdown Alone and 1 Time He's Not Alone", aka "I wanted to hurt myself by writing meltdowns for Data")

    Title from the song "Matthew 25:21" by the Mountain Goats. The song doesn't have much to do with the subject of this fic, but I love this line.

    "...Perhaps it would be more enjoyable to be someone else,” He finishes quietly. “For the spectrum between human and object has a sample size of one, Geordi, and being it is unpleasant.”
