Don't you think that being yourself is the most important thing in life? To me it is...dont ever try to be someone your not because it could possibly make you unhappy...and believe me I have been through that phase of being someone I wasn't...and in my opinion...I wasnt happy. I think that if you like somethings or different hobbies that know one else likes...tuff...you like whatever you want and dont listen to anyone else...be true to yourself.

I would like to hear your opinions about this :happy: thanks

I think your totally right jesse, Ive always stuck up for being myself and i think its great that your able to not follow the 'in crowd' i mean who would want to be another clone anyway? Not me thats for sure. Ive never not been myself as ivve always tried to be true, and thats what i am.

As far as Im concerned, nobody cares about individuality anymore.
It is almost non-existant.
Being yourself can be the best thing you can ever do, following someone is just childish and stupid.
Thats why we are a humiliating species, we HAVE to follow something. *slaps head*

individualty exists in my skool , but most of the people who do it are consider geeks, and really they are! lol me and my friend(who just moved to Jordan and i will never see again:( )acted like complete idiots and always made people laugh. i mean we were lower class and losers in the begginging of the year, but for being oueselves we somehow became popular, kinda weird and cool. i didnt act like a complete jerk tho. i still made fun of the stupid loser jordan nixon ho was a freakin nazi upsessed god freak and cried all the time, not to mention tried to hang out with us and if rejected starting threating to murder us all and then cried. man i hated that kid, and best of all, he lives down the street form me!!!

People say to me: "I wish you would stop being so different, it's spooky."

I love being different, although I hate too much attention....individuality is becomming rare with constant urges to be popular and such.

You should be an individual.If everyone were a like everything would be boring.

Nothing is your own anymore. It's all been done.

This is so sadly true. In fact just talking about being individual could be considered a trend.

To be yourself is all that you can do.
...sorry, had to XD

Eva:Gina · « **Reply #10 on:** June 16, 2005, 11:19:01 pm »

but event this whoel thing of "individuality" is done cos society says that we have to be unique
for alot of people, being a sheep and copying everyone that is cool, is who they are, they are followers
we need followers, they run the factories and become police officers

Roger · « **Reply #11 on:** June 16, 2005, 11:22:04 pm »

"Being yourself" has almost become a fad.
Everyone is trying to be their own person, so being yourself and declaring it makes you part of the trend.

I guess my point is that if you're going to be yourself, then just do it and don't go around saying "I'm just being me" or whatever.

I know I'm gonna get a lot of crap for this, but it's just my observation.

Eva:Gina · « **Reply #12 on:** June 16, 2005, 11:24:02 pm »

^^^
right, you would only comment if you cared, do you mean??
i understand.

hte only thing i have to say is, im am really unique and indivdual :biggrin:

heh heh heh, the poeple who really are original, are hte freaks that your too afraid to talk to. not just hte goths or whatever it is hwere you live, but hte real freaks, who dont hvae a grip on what you and i think is reality.

Roger · « **Reply #13 on:** June 16, 2005, 11:27:35 pm »

I'm not going to doubt anyone's individuality, because everyone IS an individual.

What I mean is that "being yourself" just for the sake of "being yourself" is stupid. Recently it's become a bandwagon thing.

Individuality is cool, and I respect anyone who is an individual, unless of course they try to let the whole world know by just saying "HEY LOOK, I'M AN INDIVIDUAL."

Punk is not dead, it just smells like it.

Anyways, as far as style, its all been done before. It doesnt matter how you dress, some else is doing it too. Its really your mind that is original.

What are you talking about? Punk has been dead for years. I don't care what anyone says about it being underground. That is crap. Punk is pointless these days.

i rember when i tried to dress punk...lol, i had pants w/ chains and what not, then i tried to dress gothic, and it turns out i didnt know what gothic was, thinking it was dressing in puk clothes, lol, 5th grade, good times good times

Thomas · « **Reply #19 on:** June 17, 2005, 06:00:49 am »

It's not necessarily the way you dress that makes you punk/goth.ect...it's what you do, what you feel and what you are.
I dress freaky, that's all people ever tell me. lol. XD

I actually enjoy kidnapping people, and pretending to be them for awhile. I'll release them once I get bored...

Okay, so I forgot to feed Pauly Shore, big deal!

When I'm trying to be something or someone I'm not, it makes me feel like an idiot. That's why I stick to me.

Eva:Gina · « **Reply #28 on:** June 21, 2005, 11:52:40 pm »

^^
yeah, but who i am changes all the time.
i cant dress the same or act he same al the time. i get bored.
today, long nice skirt and plain white top
yesterday, retro cuff jeans, docs, jkt.
day before that, crazy 70's dress

i always change. which is probably why i never feel liek i have anything to wear.

Sheldon J. Plankton · « **Reply #29 on:** June 22, 2005, 07:51:03 am »

I am a little weird too, a lot of people don't like me for this reason, but my friends are all unique as well, so we all blend in together.

IceFox · « **Reply #30 on:** June 29, 2005, 02:39:36 am »

Im weird. Im often noticed as a nim-rod. so? Ok. Its weird. For the most part the "popualr" people at my scchool dont oopenly make fun of oothers. the "geeks" are the ones who do. For the love of god, making fun of oosmone for being different is like racisim. They are different...your teasing them for it.

Spongefan123 · « **Reply #31 on:** July 04, 2005, 12:20:46 pm »

One time a guy laughed at me cause i was wearing different colored shoes and i was just totally different. You know what i like to tell people who laugh at me because of that? I say: You laugh at me because im different but i laugh at you because you are all the same. Their reaction: they usually just stare for a moment and then runaway.

Eva:Gina · « **Reply #32 on:** July 04, 2005, 06:49:47 pm »

like that bloodhound gang song

"and i dont give a dam if you dont like me cos i dont like you cos your not like me"

Hmmm, I normally wear two different shoes that don't look resemble eachother in the slightest, but it gibbles my back up so ever now and again I wear matching shoes. The first thing everyone says to me is "Did you notice you are wearing to different shoes?" Well duh, baka. I get laughed at a lot for my appearance, but I get twice as many compliments.

Either way, I am who I am. No more. No less.

UltraSpongeyDude · « **Reply #34 on:** July 05, 2005, 02:22:22 pm »

In my school, the stereotypically "popular" kids (and there is a lot of those) arent that popular. Thier just considered annoying brats. The ones who have friends (and I mean REAL friends, not the people that try to copy them) are the ones that are themselves.

What I mean by this, is that 1. It's cool to be yourself. And 2. You shouldnt call the people that are stereotypically popular "popular". Because they really arent. Popular is being a person with a lot of friends. The "popular" people dont have real friends. They just have people that copy off of them. The people that are themselves, they have all the friends!

Megan · « **Reply #35 on:** July 05, 2005, 02:31:43 pm »

If you try to make yourself into something that someone will like, your just going to keep doing that your entire life. Because that one person who you want to like you, they will be gone in a couple years, and there will be a totally different person that is the 'cool' person. And you will go on and on changing yourself to be cool, and you will not have lived your life, you will have lived someone else's.
