There are sometimes more important things than "being yourself", no matter what being yourself may entail. For instance, a compulsive liar or a kleptomaniac would be better off not "being himself", but rather trying to combat those elements of his or her makeup that were destructive. Without making a personal attack or put-down on Jessiah (so please don't take this the wrong way), don't listen to the faux-wise spiel that tells you the most important thing is to be true to your nature. It's a lie. I'll say again, I wish I was normal.
I will count to 5 (posts). If you are not in your corner after the count of 5 (posts) I will get the dunce cap and chain you to the chair.
I have near 20/20 vision (right eye slightly blurry), am of normal body weight, have nominal % body fat, don't take any meds, no allergies, no mental disorders, I'm fitter, happier, and more productive, comfortable, not drinking too much, getting regular exercise at the gym (3 days a week), I'm getting along better with my associate employee contemporaries, at ease, eating well, no more microwave dinners and saturated fats, a patient better driver, sleeping well (no more bad dreams), no paranoia, careful to all animals (no more washing spiders down the plughole), keep in contact with old friends and enjoy a drink now and then, fond but not in love, no longer afraid of the dark, nothing so ridiculously teenage or desperate, nothing so childish, slower and more calculated, will not cry in public, less chance of illness.
AM NORMAL!? Nah that's not me... that's a friend... But seriously I have colourblindness, glasses, something wrong with my hearing (forget the name - I can't concentrate on one person / object which sucks in crowded rooms), no coordination (I trip over my feet daily), I'm ALWAYS HUNGRY and I can't walk straight at all! (That might be related to having no coordination however, but I still swerve all over the footpath~) PS: I LOVE EXPLOSM!!!!!
And yet, you lost it when people didn't agree to one of your suggestions on a forum on the internet. That's just scary dude.
The anonymity of the internet makes it really easy to do things that would earn you an Insano medal in RL. You can inflate small feelings into grandiose ones then walk away. It's normal.
I like being abnormal, without having to pretend i'm superior. Different is good...variety is nice, everyone has their own 'class'
Wha? I was just saying that the internet is different than RL. Its like with driving: you find people honking their horns, tailgating, flipping people off, doing things that they would never do if they were actually face to face with the other person. And they're not even all that distressed, they just feel like doing it, because of some small anger, and since won't have any repercussions they go ahead with it. It's not wonderful but everyone does it.
