I don't want to go to hardcore concerts, I don't want to see some stupid horror movie this Friday and get wasted the next night. I don't want to smoke and steal and pack a SUV being driven by someone wiithout a license. I'm sick of it, this is not who I am, but how I'm supposed to say no when everything around me demands such? Is it worth losing the people around me to live how I want?

Takes some courage to reinvent yourself as someone knew. Good rewards for doing so though.

Be like me, don't give a **** about what people tell you to be/do/believe if you don't want to. Makes you happier and makes life easier.

Who doesnt want to go see concerts?

But be your own person and don't let others control who you are. Learn to say No

I don't become what others want me to be. I find it silly and pointless that I would have to change who I am just for their liking.

You are in charge of who you are. NO ONE and i mean NO ONE can force you to be what you want. In the end your are making the choice submissive and let others force you into a mold.

No. Either get in and fit in, or get out. People will like you better this way--it's pretty damn selfish of you to want to be your own person.

How is it selfish? It's better to feel good about yourself by being who you want to be than to have others decide for you. :|

Amm.. don't do it? I don't get the whole "oh everyone else was doing it so i had to.." story, at the end of the day it is you who chooses. I was offered cigarettes by my closests friends when i was young and i turned them down, i have been offered weed many a times by friends.. and i turn them down. I have also been pressured sometimes weeks on end to do something and you know what? I turn them down. If i don't want to do something i don't do it, and i can still remain friends and hang around with them. I don't see how people can be influenced by other peoples actions into doing something they don't wanna do.

If they refuse to respect what you want and refuse to accept who you want to be and who you are? Yes, it is. It's hard, but it's worth it.

Yeah I agree, being yourself is totally overrated as well as the notion that being unaccepted is good.

Nobody's forcing you to do anything you don't want to. The people that surround you may expect something different, because it's what you've done, but no one can stop you from being responsible for yourself.

you smoke then proceed to steal and pack an SUV driven by a high, drunk person with no license? Well my friend, I'm not sure how you got yourself into a situation like that, but I think it's time you said, "naw man not tonight".

Exactly, it's nice to see someone in here with a hint of common sense. Now if everybody could just fall in line and be what everyone else wants them to be, the world would toally be a better place.

It's not what others think of you; it's what you think of yourself. Eventually you're either going to figure out that your real friends won't care that you don't want to do everything they do or you'll find other friends. Either way, living your life for other people is a short path to being miserable.

I've just gotten to the point in my life where i've really learned this. Sadly, I think i've learned it the hard way. For a long time I really did care and it made life much more difficult and less fulfilling for more me.

Believe me, don't change for anyone. Just do what you think is right.

I was forced all through my life to be someone I can't be because of various things that had happened to me and how I was raised - my parents had very little money, but they did their best to raise me to be respectful, considerate, hard working, understanding, open minded and capable of making my own choices.

I was never happy trying to be who I was forced to be, I was miserable all the time, restricted and never allowed to have my own opinion. Now that I've finally come to accept myself for all I am, I'm happier and I refuse to ever be what others demand me to be just because they think that just because I was hurt deeply when I was a child doesn't mean I'm going to do the same thing.

Better to be yourself than being the person people demand you to be just because they can't see beyond their narrow ideals of life.

I'm not really interested in concerts.

Anyway, I hate it when people tell me I'm "anti-social" because I don't talk as much as everyone else. I have a bit of social anxiety but that doesn't mean I'm "anti-social". Also, this one girl called me "weird" before. Yeah, like she's any more "normal" than I am. Her language skills were three times worse than mine. I think it might be because she was deaf in one ear or something. But still, people can't just come up to me and call me "weird" as if they define what normality is for everyone. In fact, there's no such thing as a "normal" person.

I gave up on being what people wanted me to be about 8 years ago. It has caused me to lose contact with some friends, and change jobs(voluntarily) and such. It's way more satisfying than the alternative though.
