Description
Before you say anything:I'm not one of those "DIFFERENT AND PROUD!1!!11!!" kids, because taking pride in something like that is pointless and stupid to me
I'm not one of those "BUT AI WANT TO BE SPESHUL!!!!1!11!!" kids, because in my opinion being different doesn't equal being special, and even if people do anything to stand out of the crowd and get attention, they mean nothing to me.
I'm just saying that I won't change myself, who I am, and my personality because:
I can't fake being someone else
Even if I could, I wouldn't do it, because I have a friend that fakes to be someone else, and she is put under a huge amount of pressure, causing her way too much stess and depression. Same for other people I've seen that faked to be somebody else. I couldn't bear all that stress.
Even if I did change myself to please some people, sooner or later I would meet someone else that wouldn't like my "fake self" and my "true self", and would prefear me if I were different, so I should again fake to be somebody else, and again, too much stess and depression to bear.
Note that I'm not just talking about people that fake to be somebody else to conform, but even about those that are doing it just to be considered different, special, funnier or cooler by people.
I get along well with people that don't want me to change myself, and that's enough.

I couldn't agree more! Sorry jerks of the world, but I'm not changing how I do ANYTHING to please people like you.

Β Β I may be a jerk, but at least I don't mean to be, and I was brave enough to be who I was... once.

Every person has a way of being special of one's own. And let the "critics" learn to deal with it!Β Β

FINALLY! someone who understands me! many people are criticizing me and hating on me just because i haven't full matured yet. so what if i still need to mature? stop making me rush it!!
For some examples, i don't appreciate Mario hate. i'm being told to get over it. but the thing is, i haven't gotten to that state of maturity yet. and people keep rushing it, shaming me for not changing! why can't i just be me?

I don't understand. Some people want you to change yourself, then they don't want you to be someone you're not. What the fuck kind of shit is that?

My parents would disagree if they saw this

Everyone's a bit different and special but deep down also just like everyone else; no-one should change themselves just to please others because it's boring, cowardly (no offense) and denial of a person expressing their individuality. Ultimately we are what we choose to become!

THIS. Wish everyone was like this, and wouldn't stop expecting so much from others who are different than how they like. :\

Everyone that I dislike wants me to change, usually asking,"Why can't you be normal?" or "Why are you so weird?" or, sometimes, "Why do you/Why are you so/Why do you like _________?"Β
And I'm tired of that crap.

My fifth class teacher wanted me to cough "stop being strange" and my family wanted be to be social and force a smile and crap. I can't do that, that's just not the person I am or ever going to be. Forget it. And I'd never try to change myself just to fit in with a group of retards. -.-

Β //Everyone will, well at least for a relationship, and no one will notice it most of the time.

When I was younger, I didn't have a lot of friends because I was different. Then an idea came to my mind: "Hey, if I change and act how people want, then everyone will like me!" What a stupid idea. Acting like someone else is one of the worst things I ever had to do in my life. So that's why, never be ashamed of who you are and never do things to please others. (Btw. great stamp, I'm definitely using it!

I had to deal with this for a couple of years. A girl I used to hang out with tried to change me (she's very girly, I'm the opposite, the only feminine thing about me is the boobs and baby cannon I got.) It got to the point where she degraded me, and mocked everything about me harshly, and all that did was break down and nearly shatter my self worth. Other people don't have this problem with me, they all love me.
I nearly changed to impress someone who never considered me a friend, and just did it as an act, but now I'm back to my usual self, and slowly building up my self worth and self-esteem again.

People expect me to be a total tomboy beacause of my icons, and my overall public dA behaviour. Well guess what? I'm not. And I ain't gonna be.

lol judging a person online only by their icon without knowing details about them is kinda stupid :/

Exactly, I can't change my species, people need to except that. I ain't gonna change shit about myself for anyone.

I know right ! I think I'm liked not very much because I listen to music like this : www.youtube.com/watch?v=DeEVpB⦠, and I think "ok.". I'm not changing any time soon.
π: 0 β©: 0
Been there, done that. Tried to like mainstream music and stuff to become popular, but ended up hating the "popular crowd" because they spend all their free time drinking and doing weed... not a good look, so I ditched them for good.

If anyone dislikes you enough that you have to change yourself to be around them, they're not worth your time.
π: 0 β©: 0
I know. Like people are always saying to me "You really should stop stabbing people, the cops are getting pissed!"
And I'm just like... they should be more accepting of ME, not changing me.

I'd rather be disrespected for who I am than be respected for who I am not.
Nice stamp β₯

My father once asked why i have to think the way i do and why i just could'nt be more like the norm, because "it would make it easier for me". I love my papi, and i know he just wants help his little boy, but i told him that that was the most absurd thing i've ever heard in my entire life; said that it would be over our father-son relationship should he ever pick up that dialog again.
This is one good stamp.

I see.
Every parent who has a child who is bit "different" would want their child to have an easier life, but really, pretending to be someone else can put you under pressure and that can lead to depression, that makes things worse.

Yeah..
Though, it's not like i have it hard. I dont think so, at least. Im pretty sure im easier off the hook than most of the people i hang out with.

I agree.
My friend, for example, is always very worried and often thinks she's stupid or useless, even if she's not.
Even though I am supposed to be in a worse situation that she is, I don't think my life is so "fucked up". I am fairly content with my life, I don't really care of the opinion that others have of me, and I don't suffer from depression. Sometimes I feel sad, but heh, nothing as severe as depression. And however, I rarely feel sad. I can't complain about my life.
π: 0 β©: 1
Heh, i have a lot of friends like that (not talking about the peepz i hangout with, they're badass)
Of course i'd be lying if i said i werent just a bit scared of the future, but i cant really see myself in position to feel bad. Life is gooood, y'all.
