Every day I have the feeling that I'm doing a crime because I'm different from
most people around me, even though I *know* they're wrong to just resume to
living their own selfish and ignorant lives without giving a damn about what's
going on around them, so long as it doesn't bother them...
When I say that I'm different, I mean that I'm more aware of what's going on
around me, that I question the meaning of my life rather than just taking for
granted all the crap everyone feeds me, like "You live because you have to
please God", or "for the society", or "for your mother and
father", or... Strange that no-one says I can live for myself, even though
we're talking about *my* life in the end. I also question other things, like why
do I have to respect a teacher that bullies me and tells me all kinds of crap
(even though he has no reason to hate me since I'm one of the best in my class),
just because he's the teacher and I'm the student.
And there's another thing... I'm original, I like to be different from everyone
else, but when I express it I either get bullied, shouted at, or downright
humiliated (like it happens with my teacher). Everyone tries to make me become
one of them, a "normal" person, and they don't give a damn that I'm a
writer and an artist (...I'm going to publish a debut volume of short stories
next year), and that I've got a damn fragile psychic balance... Sometimes I
think the universe plain and simple hates me.
*sigh* You know, I actually feel better now that I got this out... If you
actually want to sympathize with me, feel free to, and I will love you
forever...
I'd love to do that, only I don't have a shovel... and I'm having trouble
lifting my schoolbag when it's half-full, so I suppose I'd have to start
building up some muscles before I can consider doing that XP
HAHAHAHA! I'd be happy to do it for you, only i live in Australia, so its kind
of hard. :P You should take a number *picks up shovel* i have a long list of
people to hit.
If you mean your different because your not perfectly normal the way they want
you to be in thier so called "normal world", then ...hey wake up who
is?...Nobody's normal everyone's different...everyone's weird in one aspect or
the other...your just more aware of it. And that I guess makes them more
ignorant...this world and our existance is far from normal, everythings
abnormal....so if they think their normal then they're the one's who are
different...they're the ones who are abnormal...XD right back at them
Just be your self...at least your for real ^_~
Odeena, you and I are alike!
I know that sometimes being different means being a loner. sometimes people
start saying things about us that are totaly wrong... but that's when being
different is a great things! we don't give a damn of what people said.. we
shouldn't care about gossips!
Being different doesn't mean being anormal! means something even better. it
means being special!
If people loves you, the will accept you just the way you are!
just don't put limits to your life!
You and i are pretty much alike ya know. I also question why we're here, and
others around say its stupid and idiotic to think such things...but 99.9% of
those people who say my thought of that is stupid have a 10 in right about every
course in secondary school lol^.^ Everyone is different, no two persons are
alike. Each living being has their own special feature and quality that is not
identical to the other you see. People who act alike..who dress alike are all
insane if you ask me.By doing that your putting yourself down, degrading your
true self for a false self. Sure some people have similarities, but each person
is different.
It is definetly not wrong to be different
@ MrKarl - Tee hee... I think my list would have at least 10 or 15 pages to
it...
@ zainab-chan - I know everyone is different... I like your idea though XP After
all, being normal is a relative concept and all, so yeah, I guess I could throw
it right back at them... The problem is that there's many of them, and so they
can give me that "everybody else isn't like you" crap. But I guess I
could just shrug it all off
@ Kabura - Yeah, I'm pretty much of a loner, but there are a few people who like
me for what I am... and a lot of people on the Internet who like me for the same
reason ^_^ Anyway, it's good to know that we're alike, and from now on I'll
try... no, I *won't* give a damn about what other jerks are saying. Thanks for
the support!

@ toxictea23 (sorry, I didn't see your post earlier) - Welcome to the freak club
then! ^_^ You know, people who actually do stuff just because everyone else does
it really bug me, because it's like they have no life of their own left at all!
For instance, if everyone jumped off a cliff, they'd do the same because
everyone else does it. That is so weak...
No need to be upset if ppl think your different you know? It makes who you are!
You're own character! + ur own copyright on stuff~ Besides, if everyone's the
same, we'll all be cute and cuddly, won't it? It's
okay to be different... to say different things and have different thoughts!
It's what makes you! YOU!
ah yes....why do we conform, the age old question to society.
I must agree, nobody really cares if you do the right thing for yourself, they
always judge that you are better off living for others. It is normal society. Do
not be down by it, I know and you know you are right. We are living here because
we are living. who gives a damn if you do not believe what others believe. We
are a free society! and most of all you are an individual!
@ nasastar - Thanks! That's one of my New Year's resolutions and all... stop
giving a damn about what people say ^_^
@ Devildude - You're right! ^_^
@ everyone - Man, reading all your answers really lifted my spirits! I think
I've reached an important turn in my life, and I needed to realize that *I'm*
not in the wrong and all that... Up until now I really used to care about what
everyone said. Guess it's because I was raised this way... but no more!
Bwahahahahaha! *cough cough choke*
What's wrong about being different? I think the wrongness is in being just like
everyone else. Aren't you just glad you have your own personality? Aren't you
just glad that you are a thinking person among a bunch of retarded that just do
what they are told? Just be glad, ignore them, be yourself. Oneday your
personality will be an advantage rather than a problem, and they will... PERISH!
bwahahaha
Seriously, why pay attention on people like that? Look for other people that
accept who you are instead of changing who you are to be with these
people!
It's not that hard, really... I think even in USA there must be thinking people
xD hauhauhaua Oh, god... Anyways, you understand what I'm saying xD.
I am a different person. In many ways.
Yet - YET - if our personalities are all indistinguishable, that would surely
suck.
Remember, it is by what we create that we define ourselves. So, cheer yourself
up, Odeena.
Be happy with yourself and live without regrets if what you do is right.

WOW!
It would seem that you are unique, like everybody else, you're not just afraid
of showing it. Good for you!
I think they try to make you like them coz they feel insecure around you. It's
no crime to think and act differently, and don't you let anyone tell you
otherwise. You know yourself better than anybody ever will, even if they're
you're teacher.
Trust yourself and be strong, be patient. It will pay off.
why a shovel? that's not nearly painful enough. the punishment should fit teh
crime, doncha think?
i hear your prob, and this is my advice: live for yourself, and don't give a
damn what others think. and you know what you say to people who try to tell you
otherwise? no, it's not 'eff off', that's for when things get nasty. you simply
tell them that they are entitled to their own opinions and beliefs and you are
choosing to follow a more educated and colorful course. (of course, we're still
taking into account being a good person right?)
being different is not wrong. i mean i'm different and i'm proud of that because
i'd rather be me than be the same as everyone. just let it be because in my
view, those people are not smart enough to understand us different
people(ahaha....). find people who will accept you as you are and ignore those
who don't. it will pay off in the end so just be patient about it.

bwahahaha
I am exactly like that though my questioning often leads me to my depression,
insecurity and lack in momentum. There's nothing wrong but you know, different
means alot of things to all people. I think you're just more aware or conscious
of things left often unnoticed by people. I'm different and I meant different
because I have my own style and people like me for it. There are those people
who will or LIKE you as you are, there's nothing wrong with it.
oh my god. i don't even know you but i feel like i've known you my entire life.
you are EXACTLY like me, i know how it feels, i'm so much different from
everyone one else and people just can't except that and i'm prone to becoming
really depressed at times, honestly, i get it from everyone, my mother, friends,
teachers, relatives, everyone. i love drawing and writing as well as being
original too, and this is really beginning to scare me how much we're
alike...anyway, i just really, really wanted to tell you you're not alone and i
thank you for starting this thread, really. so i'll see you round sometime, bye!
p.s: about those stories you're writing, what exactly are they about (if i'm
allowed to know that is)
i can't explain it, but i feel the same way. when inside the classroom, i'm
trying to put myself within the crowd...but that's just for show. I'm totally
different from other girls in the class. I mean..those girls were alike in many
ways or another..and then when I think about it, i don't even like what they
like. Sometimes I try to laugh with them and mingle with them and stuff, but
when we talk my mind feeds on a lot of confusing thoughts and I get swarmed by
these thoughts that I feel so different. I felt I was more aware of what's going
on, and for dumbsake, they won't damn care.
But, really...for me, I'm fine thinking about these 'different' matters alone. I
didn't want to share it with people whom I think are 'normal' in ths world. THey
won't understand, most probably. But I don't hate being different, and I'm
enjoying the fact that I know and feel something that others don't.

There is nothing wrong with being different! It makes you who you are. If anyone gives you crap, hit them really hard with a shovel! Thats what I do
I'd love to do that, only I don't have a shovel... and I'm having trouble lifting my schoolbag when it's half-full, so I suppose I'd have to start building up some muscles before I can consider doing that XP

You know...you aren't THAT different. You like anime, i dont know you, but...you like anime! What could possibly be wrong with you?!?
Hmmm....I think I should just make one giant shovel and squish them all at once! YAY
I'd help you with that XP
