Why you may ask? Well, individuality is frowned upon, People are being molded into clones and if anyone goes outside the 'status quo', They are forced back into place by their peers. Life just sucks! We need more individuals.
hey man, I went through something similar..resulted in an emotional breakdown then I was fine. Just needed to vent on someone, just really needed someone to hear my thoughts and problems...and talking about them helped me solve them. Email me gbpackerfan1122@gmail.com or I don't know vent here..I'll try and help you if you need it...a little pat on the back is always nice. Keep truckin'...
you know what's wrong? people are no longer individuals, it allways: what tribe are you, wear this, eat this, think this. There are TV shows promoting this lie that comforming is happyness like; what not to wear, what not to think. Everyone is buying into this lie that you have to fit into a catagorey and that affects who you are. If not, you are a freak of nature. Those who dare to speak are silenced, those who dare to express are ridiculed. Life just sucks...........
no one is making YOU conform. so dont conform. im not part of any certain group. and i dont necessarily always dress "hippy"...i just am. and no, it isnt frowned upon by all. all the people at my school seemed to kinda admire me for it, and people tell me never to change the way i am. i know it depends on where oyu live, if you live somewhere really conservative i guess it could be different... but yeah, i did go through a phase where i felt that way. and i think its great to have that stage...it means you realize things, and that you are CONSCIOUS. and what i learned was, i needed to do something positive with that consciousness of this truth (the whole conformity thing...blah dee blah). so do something positive with your awareness, and use it to make sure you live a life that is your own, and that you do want you want, that you go for your dreams, and not what other people say your dreams should be...follow your beliefs, yes, it IS possible. and yea, im only 2 years older (well, not 2 full years, i dunno...im almost 17...whatever thats besides the point), but yeah, ive learnt from those hopeless feelings...and i learnt that hopeless feelings are going to do shit...complaining is only so good to an extent...then you gotta get off your ass and stop whining and DO something about it. and you cant change the world, but you can change how you interact in the world. and maybe your individuality and unwillingness to be like everyone else will spark the same individuality in others. im not trying to sound conceted, but i think that from my individuality, and ACCEPTANCE of others (that is one of the main reasons people conform, ive learnt...its because they fear rejection, and want love. humans always have good intentions, but have bad ways of showing it sometimes. the people who make fun of others for being different, they are clones because tehy want to be loved, they are afraid of being rejected. they try to look like everyone else and fit in, so that others will like them...and because theyre afraid of being alone. they dont know any other way to be. they might have been teased for being different, so they conformed....but if you ignore that criticism, and dont take it seriously, and thus dont keep the cycle going, then you can show others that there are otehr ways to be.. but yeah, those clones just want acceptance. everyone wants to be loved.), that i have helped others that im closer to become more open and comfrotbale with who they are. and no..i beg to differ. life rocks. yeah, it sucks sometimes...but thats usually when life is trying to teach ya something...thats not to say im never upset, i am defintiely upset sometimes, but you cant wallow in that sorrow and sadness, you gotta try and move past it and learn from it. its hard sometimes, but ya know, its all good in the end. appreciate life once again, im not saying that i dont sometimes lose focus on the idea that life is beautiful and exciting, but i try to always remember that, and you should try too. if you need to vent, you can PM me. cheers and much love, dylan
"Be the change you want to see" or whatever. Bitching to people who feel the same way as you isn't helping really.
Excuse the cynicalities, but when you think there could be an emo band named God Hates Penguins, there's a new ipod coming out, and that anyone in this great country (The U.S.) has the ultimate potential to be sexually harassed or molested by priests and politicians... You realize there's just so much more to live by and for. I'd like to be a part of this. Somebody wake me up with a chokehold. I think I'm dreaming.
