People tell me that I should change, be more different and not be the way I am. They don't say it directly like that but they say it by saying I am weird for liking things that people don't like anymore. Such as tv shows or music or something else. Or for being my self, being silly or just whatever it is that I do they say its weird just because I do it and I'm being my self. People want me to change and yet I refuse to do so because that means its changing the very personality of my self. The one thing people don't get is that I lived a life of nothing but loneliness and having pretty much no friends, I lived a very sheltered life and never got to express my self because I had no one to play with or hang out with. So when I finally come out of my shell people tell me I should be different, not me but rather them, and everyone else. Unlike most people I don't care what people think about me most the time. And unlike most people I don't give up what I have had as a child, I don't give up the cartoons or the music, or the movies or give up the fun because all that is still part of me, part of what I still like. Why should I pretend not to like it? Why should I pretend to be another person for other people? Why should I dress, look, and think like everyone else?
People tell me I shouldn't watch this or that. They tell me how what I like is stupid or silly. They tell me how I act childish or how I embarrass them. They to me are saying I should change my interests or the way I am just to make them feel more comfortable. Though under certain circumstances I can understand you don't be a certain way, but its not like I don't know how to take things seriously.
The problem with most people is that they change to fit in, they change them selves to better those other people, not of course for good intention, but for rather to be popular or to be liked. So why should I be this way? Why should I have to change these things to fit in? I don't think I or anyone should ever have to. I am me and nothing will ever change that. And if being me considers me as weird, a freak, or whatever then thats just how it is. Because being me..its the best thing in the world and I know if I didn't I would feel extremely depressed and caged. And that includes hiding things to about your self. If I hide every bit of me..it would only make me feel down.
Never change to be popular or liked friends. Its the worst thing you should do to your self!
