Anyone else sick of being who people want you to be?

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?

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

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.

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

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.

But it's pointless to act like someone you're not. I'd rather be happy and be my own person instead of following everyone else than to be unhappy and follow everyone. How is it being selfish?ayanami_rei

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.

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.
