They feel like the core of the Earth is going to open up and consume them whole if they don't "fit in".
What is "fitting in" anyway? And why is it so important to so many people?
I understand that you want people to like you. Everyone wants that. I'm sure this thought has crossed everyones mind at least once, "Will they like me?". And you gotta learn in this big bad world, that not everyone is going to like you. I know, I know. WTF, right? You're a decent person, but that douche lord hates you for some reason. You didn't even do anything to them. What gives?
Truth is, no one knows. Maybe they have self esteem issues and are intimidated by your awesomeness?
But then again, there are people you probably don't like for no particular reason too. C'mon, admit it! It's the circle of life, my dears (not really). Haha.
Anyway.
There are 2 types of people in the world;
Ones that realise someone doesn't like them and thinks, "Whatever! At least my mom thinks I'm cool! Asshole..." and carries on living their lives.
Then there's the other type. And these types of people annoy me. They're the ones who realise someone doesn't like them for no particular reason and thinks, "Oh, God! What's wrong with me? What can I do to gain this persons approval? I'm not cool enough, is that it? Oh, man. Oh, brother. The only way to survive and to not be consumed by the Earth is to change myself completely, to do things that I don't normally do and to say things that I don't normally say. I need to do it to fit in. I NEED TO DO IT TO GET LAID!" um...? Haha? *awkward laughter*
Okay, first of all, dumbass... You're going to be acting as someone you're not. And guess what? Those people aren't gonna like you for you, they're gonna like this fake personna that you came up with. Well done.
And second of all, HASN'T DR SEUSS TAUGHT YOU ANYTHING?! One of the greatest quotes to ever be said came from the mouth of Dr Seuss, "I do not like green eggs and ham, I do not like them Sam-I-am."
OH WAIT.
That's not the quote I was looking for... it's this one, "Be who you are and say what you feel, because those who mind don't matter and those who matter don't mind."
So, yeh. Think about that before you go changing who you are to please somebody else.
Dr Seuss is a genius! |
Friendly Llama out :)
