: I tried to post "loner (the does not equal sign) loser" : Ah, well. : : : I grow weary of that label being automatically applied to those who aren't surrounded by a posse at all times (or at ANY time). : : Which means that Individuality is vastly more important to me than Unity ever will be. Granted, there's something positive to be said about people agreeing with you about SOMEthing, but if not, it's not worth the cost to your higher brain functions to change to suit other people's point of view. : : The above applies only to me, of course. Loneliness is a powerful thing, and if, for your own peace of mind, you need to hang with folks you don't particularly like, that's your decision, but I suspect that it'd do more harm than good in the long run. Sacrificing/suppressing your interests and hobbies just to relate, for instance. Be sure to cater to them as needed, even if only by yourself. : : : : : : And it sort of involves VA... : : : I know there will be a few if not alot of posts with the general subjet line of 'What a loser LOL' or 'HAHAHAHA' etc. if I get the response I'm hoping for, But I hope at least a few mature people who listen can help, maybe some reds like Vincent or Bryan. : : : I still go to school, and within the concrete confines of this prison I call 'home' or 'hell' when I'm feeling honest, I have no friends. : : : I'm not happy about it; but I'll admit as i'mnot sure it's all my fault. : : : The question this post (and it's poster) are trying to ask, is; What is more important; Individuality or Unity. : : : Your knee-jerk reaction maybe to say 'individuality' as it's something we've all been taught. But think harder and give me a reaon why--I need it. : : : I have 'friends'. I eat my lunch with them, I sometimes spend my weekends playing at their houses et cetera. But I don't really share their interests, and I sacifice mine to hang out with them. : : : To be crystal clear, I don't like them. : : : I don't want them as friends; I want them for the sake of friends. To be like everybody else. Sure, they have friends. : : : I like VA, horror movies, SNL-type comedy movies, Comic books and other geekly stuff. NOONE ELSE I KNOW DOES. : : : The thing is, two people I know saw Jay and Silent Bob Strike Back, and they liked it. Would I be cool with them? NO. : : : One is a guy who laughed cos it has 'dirty words' in it, by my guess. : : : The other, I could never like, as he is a jerk who like anything with weed in it, and yet he bullies other kids harshly. : : : One kid, who I like but seem ashamed to hand aroud with, is Ben. Ben likes comics too and simpsons stuff too. : : : Now the aforementioned other guy gave this guy a wedgie. Funny eh? Not really, this wegie was right outside a classroom, and poor Ben was left crying while half the class pointed and laughed. I helped him up. So now you see; I hate the other guy and Ben is picked on. I'm not as low as him on the social chain, but maybe I should be. : : : I sorely need your help. DO I sacrifice my hobbies and interests to have 'friends' or do I stay a loner/loser, who is happy with himself. : : : Seems like an easy decision, but it's not. : : : Think about it, : : : AM
