You know it seems people especially in Asia likes comformity. I have a sense of humor but no one else has any, It seems like that people like it when you do what society expects of you and you can't be what you want to be... man thats just so frustrating. I felt alone cause I am like the only one in the world that cares about being different....
I know how you feel. I am very different. I am into different things and I think differently. Hang in there. There are people out there that will like you for who your really are. :-)
Thats not Asia. Thats the world.
I find it quite nice to be different. I don't make a point to be such in comparison to others but have rather developed it more as a lifestyle that sometimes has other views on things in life.
You may be surprised to find that there are many others who also tend to be this way (increasingly more so) and even more who enjoy those differences in others and have a silent appreciation of your individuality. You just don't get to hear about it or they don't make a big deal about it.
to me comformity sucks,all it does is
show that some people do not have enough brains
to think for themselves
someone from another message board come up with a word that
describes them real good, he calles them"sheepeople"
people who have the herd mentality of sheep and who can't think for themselves and who follow the crowd and think they need
to conform all the time.
if someone calls me a freak I just tell them thanks for the complement,as to me being a freak shows that a person is able to
do there own thinking and does not worry what others think.
btw if you want to be politicly correct(I hate that term)
instead of a freak you could be a "extream individule"
Doesn't mean they are a sheep if they follow the crowd. As long as theyve looked at other lifestyles and deicied its not for them then thats perfectly fine.

true,I have no problem with people who look
at other lifestyles and decide that it's not for them
as long as they do not have the attitude "I don't like
that so you can't have/do it eather"
it is the ones who think every must conform that
I don't like
A New Zealand longhair told me this once, and New Zealanders know their sheep:
If you act like a sheep, you will end up shorn.

I wouldn´t say it sucks... being different is just... different! You´re not better or worse, you´re just you, and that´s all that matters. I prefer that a thousand times over being a midless golem whose personality is based on other people´s view of the world, and not my own.
As Tobias Sammet said in his song "King Of Fools"
You feel at ease as you flock with the masses
What do you see with your heads in their asses?
Keep on railing at what I believe
Call me insane and I am proud to be
And walk the wicked way
We don't wanna be like you
Don't you get that king of fools?
We don't mind your life is trite
You are the king of fools
Always be yourself and trust in what you believe. Being different can be tough but ultimately it makes us happier.
I think many people would like to be different but the pressure of conformity is too great.
Good luck mate.
