Being yourself?

As we grow, we change from a naive kid of ignorance to a depressed teen with consciousness. It's true, being a teenager results in you being more concerned about your appearance, your clothes, your behaviour, your character, and your popularity.

Surely everyone, regardless of their individuality now, must have been at one point of their life worried about their pimples, or their stunted feet, or their position in the social ladder. Then when we supposedly 'mature' into another stage of life, a minor few decides that this attitude is unacceptable and is devastating only to oneself. However, some, or rather most of us maintain the idea that acceptance requires having an impressive appearance/character.

But my point here is somewhat unrelated. That is no matter how hard we try, we will still look at other people's opinions on us.

Why? Because it's human nature. To be respected, we must have characteristics that are positive.

Ka Wing says, you only have to prove something to people who are constantly in your life or is special to you.

Is your teacher a revolving figure in your life? Must you prove anything to her? No, she'll only be there what, a year?
But why is it you don't mind having a good impression on her? Because humans are selfish and greedy. We know that if the teacher has a good impression on us, we might get better favours. If you are a lazy fool, you obviously try to pretend to her that you're not(however hard that may be). So unfortunately, without knowing it, we have ...faked.

Ok, most of what I've just said don't make much sense but the bottom line is this, everyone fakes without themselves knowing it. It's bad in a way but things occur out of your hand. And the worse thing is... for example, you fake in front of your teacher but you don't fake in front of a red-haired stranger. Does that not make you more selfish than those who care what the world thinks because they will rather place other people's comfort rather than their own?

Omigoodness, seriously, I'm talking very very funnily today. No sense whatsoever.

So I'm not actually saying that I always place every other people above me but just that you have to consider a few things first beforehand.

If you think your friend is not a friend because he/she doesn't accept you for who you are, look at it this way. If your friends have a characteristic that you dislike very much, let's say... talkative.., sooner or later you'll get irritated.

If you keep quiet about his talkativeness and bear it, you're being a fake.
If you tell him that it's irritating, OBVIOUSLY your friend knowing that you dislike it, will reduce it for you. If he doesn't, he's a lousy friend right? If he does, is it consider being fake now? I am confused.

Also, how much is too much when you look at it?

You like to fart in public but you don't because people don't like it right? Are you not a fake as well? You say farting is too much... but still are you not being yourself? It is because farting is too rude but still you are you. So every little inch of pretending is..in fact still pretending.


Ok, time to stop talking nonsensical stuff. Going to get a lot of people angry at me but hey, I don't care because them angry at me is because they don't listen to opinions. That's a totally different category now, so .. I'm not a fake! Haha. But I naturally still do without me noticing it.

Argh, long-windedness! This is a boring post! And stupid too!
