Unless I'm joking around for fun I'm not interested in doing much other than saying what I mean. Also I've never been cool a day in my life.

Actually I am trying to act cool in real life, but really because I feel that I will be uninteresting to others and boring.

Because lets face it: too few people like talking about LotR or about things that I often ponder about.

Additionally, I dont like football (soccer) like 99,99999% of the male population in Greece, I cant stand listening about chicks (something 99,99999% percent of the male population talks about all the time), etc...

But the issue has gone out of control with me in the end not wanting to have frequent interaction with people because when that happens something inside me makes me pretend to be "cool" and I hate that. So I guess thats one reason I am socially awkward.

....yeah. >__>

I have to admit, alot of that describes things i do. Tis sad.

I've always wanted Gamer friends in real life or go to something like an anime convention.

At my home, we couldn't afford the clothes and other things to maintain the 'cool' look, so I just dress in what's comfortable. I don't really care about what popular ideas are. Honestly, I don't know what men's fashion is. Most of women's fashions I find to be incredibly unattractive and yet they try maintain such images. I've never understood fashion and I don't see the point of it.

I wear a leather jacket. I grease my hair back. I skip school. I smoke outside the Malt Shoppe. I drop a nickle and punch the juke box. I ignore the squares. I shun the fuzz.

do you roll your smokes up in your shirt sleeve? if you don't then you've wasted all the effort on coolness without acheiving it. :lol:

Nah I do usually hate popular things when they become trends, but not in the mindset of acting "cool".

do you dress up uncomfortably just for the sake of 'cool' fashion?

Nah not really. I have urged myself to do so, butin the end I just want to be comfortable.

do you change you attitude infront of different people to be 'in'?

That deffinetely.

do you purposely go against other people's opinion in forums so you can debate and souns smart?

Well no. Too few times have I played devils advocate.

honest answers only:) you can add more "trying to be cool" questions if you want

Well I had completely not read the OP so I just ranted without answering your specific questions.

If I have to interact with someone, I'll sometimes act differently than I normally do because I don't want to hear any questions about it. Really, I'm not interested in what people think about me.

I just be me. If people find it cool, okay. If not I don't care, considering what celebrities are "cool" thesedays it's more of a compliment to be called uncool.

I've always been myself and myself can only be defined by 'cool'. Everything I do or say results in someone saying, "Hey man, you're cool. Let me buy you a beer." to which I always respond, "I don't often drink beer, but when I do, I prefer XX". This is fact.

I am 99% of the time just being myself, which is generally a loveable jackass/slightly-weird guy.

Sometimes the opposite sex will have me being someone I am not, but I generally come to my senses and realize if they dont like me for who I am then they are not worth my time in the long run

No, I tend to go with what I feel like. I think I would be lying a little bit if I said "no" outright but at the same time I don't wear things that make me drastically uncomfortable. I change my attitude to fit in more so that I have a more enjoyable time. I have a real sick sense of humour that a lot of people don't really understand and so I always have to reign it back. I don't want to spend a night speaking to myself, you know? Ye but not to sound cool or smart, sometimes I just like to debate things.

Cool is such a narrow word. I guess you could call me cool but it's because I have a different fashion from the average person, bot because I tryto fit in.

as someone that's part of the Gothic subculture, i could care less about how i'm "supposed" to look based on society's standards. The way that i dress is a reflection of my personality and displays how i feel inside. I know a lot of people including my sister have conformed to goth because they think it's "cool". But you know a tourist when you see one. And subcultures are no exception. I don't care what people think of me. I think if they're ignorant to harass me for the way that i dress, then honestly, i feel sorry more so for them than i do for myself.

do you dress up uncomfortably just for the sake of 'cool' fashion? never

do you change you attitude infront of different people to be 'in'? nope unless you mean do you curse less around people different people in which case yes.

do you purposely go against other people's opinion in forums so you can debate and sound smart? no

honest answers only:) you can add more "trying to be cool" questions if you want

johnlennon28

I find myself to be a pretty cool guy (regardless of other people's opinion)even though I am acting like myself. So no I don't generally change for people or go against the crowd just for the sake of it. If I go against a group of people its because I am just being me.

From my understanding if you make an effort to be cool, than most likely you are not cool.

Most people like someone for who they are. People don't trust other people that are fake.

I try to be as real as i can. 8)

No. On the long list of things i care about, my self image or "coolness" doesnt even make honorable mention.
