I've always been a bit different and have never really cared what anyone else thinks of me. I only change my behaviour to fit in because it makes life easier.
Maybe I should care more about what other people think of me, but I have my own opinions on what I think is right and wrong.
I just see a lot of people trapped inside a shallow, superficial insercuer world and I don't like buying into other peoples views.
I've always had a little bit of an attitude, which can be a good and a bad thing. 
Your thoughts.. |

I went from not giving a hoot in hell, to realizing that maybe some part of me does. I think that is were the lion's share of my depression came from.
Back I was really mean about it, I openly opposed the social norms and acted like what is called a "square" on purpose just to spit in the face of my peers and show them that I wasn't afraid to be different.
I still have that attitude but now it's more like I am my own person and I don't need to act like anyone else to be happy. I'll find my own way, even with AS. I'm not mean about it anymore, but I'm still not afraid to be me.

I guess it's the "in crowd" that I don't care what they think of me. But as for the people I do want to associate with, I do care what they think, but I'm not sacrificing my individuality for them either.

Yeah I like to go against the grain as well, I think I do it on purpose a bit.
Us humans are social people, so we feel better being part of a group. Kind of like sheep, if a sheep is by itself it will start to panic, but if it is with another sheep it will be happy.
So you think you got depression from trying to fit in? I think all people are living their lives trying to fit in, that is where all social behaviour comes from. |

I think it's that and not having anyone to relate to. I will admit, I tried my butt off to fit in during high school. It wasn't until my senior year that I began to value myself as an individual.
I won't deny that there is still some part of me that wants to though. I have been battling loneliness for the past two or more years.

myself care anymore, that feeling is gone. But i do my best to
be nice, i dont act like an ass just because i dont care what they
think of me. |

This will refer to my WP experience.
When I first joined WP, I really went out of my way to make sure that I was accepted and liked, by the majority. I would purposely say what others wanted to hear, in order to be popular. Eventually, it got to the point where I felt, that I was sacrificing honesty, for popularity, and I didn't like it. The truth is...that I'm not super-kind, super-friendly, super-sympathetic, or really funny, but that was the identity that I was trying to pull-off. Wtf?
Now, I don't care what anyone thinks anymore. I don't intentionally try to pi** people off, but I don't kiss anyones a** anymore either. I have my days where I might feel extra friendly, or vice versa, and my responses, or lack of, usually reflect that. If someone doesn't like my realistic outlook on things, too bad. Don't talk to me then. I believe in respect, and anyone deserving of, or reciprocating, will be respected in return. I genuinally like alot of people here, but, I will no longer pretend to, just to be more popular in the eyes of others. I consider it to be dishonest, and can no longer participate.
I would rather just be me.

I wish I didn't care about what people think of me as much as I do, about certain issues.

Well put, nailed that one to the wall. Recognice alot here, and as you say, wtf.
Honesty is key to alot of things, but often it looks "negativ" then and there. Often
its not until later down the road it becomes clear why it was best to be truthful.
To be untruthful is taking the easy road in a way, but not in the long run. |

At least it`s not hopeless, i too was like that, but i changed, and i am no
way near being anything called unique. So you to can change, stranger
things have happened. Wish you luck. I guess it`s all in the way you see
it, you dont like what you see? change the angle, might get better |

as for me, i do worry about what other peoples think of me sometimes, which just ends up making things harder on myself. u know when you are out and thinking "oh my god eveyone must be slagging me off" when they are too busy focusing on themselves to bother with you.
I don't think we should worry to much about what other people think as it does not benefit anybody, also I have no clue as to what goes on in peoples minds anyway so how would i know what they think? |
