Why?

[Bungled]

Sometimes i wonder why. wondering why is the first step to...shit, never mind....Anyway, i really was wondering something. Am i the only person who wants to be my own person? I'm a self-proclaimed geek, i look funny and i don't care, i wear old lady sweaters, i listen to classic rock, i can't dance and i hang out with my parents sometimes. Does that make me a bad person? Probably...but i don't care, i'm me and i love it...I mean, a lot of people (mostly preppy people) all seem to act the same...some of them even look the same...Does anyone buy ugly clothes from second hand stores anymore? And how the hell was i ranked 238/70033 users? I'm so confused i could suck on a piece of damp cloth. Somebody please tell me that i'm not the only dork left on the planet!!!!

Oh Hell no!
I'm a 20 year old female caucasian fantsy artist (I'm a Gemini, too. That doesn't make things any easier!) I've been trying to get a grip on my own self for years now. It seems neverending, and it's still a total bitch, but I've come a long way. I'm constantly changing, learning, evolving (or I try my damn best to do all 3 at once) that way I can see it from all angles. That and duality and randomness is pretty much the norm for most Gemini females.

What's your sign?

No I'm not going to get all "Miss Cleo" or anything, but maybe looking at your horoscope will give you some insights. Most people I know born under the air signs (Libra, Gemini, and I think Aquarius) are at similar points as you and I are (or seem to be.) Interesting things are starting to happen, so why not prepare? talk to me, maybe I can help.

i'm a cancer. Don't get me wrong or anything, i'm not like depressed or sad, i'm just confused about why everyone seems to want to be the same...or maybe they really ARE all the same, i don't know. Maybe i just stick out because i live in a small town...

I live in Portland (Maine, that is.) Which isn't exactly a big city, but not a small town either. EVERYONE is either a drunken redneck, a wanna-be hippie, or gay (I am not a bigot or anything, but it's true. Portland has a HUGE gay population.) They're all the same. I've spoken to many people from day to day, they all think the same, sound the same, even dress the same (some of them.)
I spent most of my life as an outcast for the dumbest reasons, mostly because people are too full of their own shit to get to know the real me. People are so full of shit and most of them don't know their own asses from holes in the ground. Hell, just look at most of the people who come HERE to NG! We're all fucked in the head! but do we care? not really.

People are full of shit, you shouldn't let them influence you in ways that might affect how you grow as a person. If that happens for too long, you start to become them.

That may sound strange, but that's the best advice I can give right now: Don't let people get inside your head when you don't want them there, get inside your own mind and hang out for a while.

I'm a self-proclaimed geek, i look funny and i don't care, i wear old lady sweaters, i listen to classic rock, i can't dance and i hang out with my parents sometimes.Probably...Does anyone buy ugly clothes from second hand stores anymore?

I do every one of those things. And because I parade it about, I am considered, by the preps, to be "cool." A lot of them are obviously to scared to do anything like the stuff you wrote above, so when I do it and don't give a care, they were pretty impressed.
So remember, doing that and being yourself is better then being a drone, a lackie for the man and a yesman for the establishment!

Here's today's horoscope for CANCER from MSN:

"You should be feeling pretty excited when it comes to your most important relationships today, and you ought to be pretty hard to resist right now. Don't be afraid to make your feelings known and ask for whatever you want from that special person in your life. You should be primed for romantic success right now."

Hope it's some help :-)

Haha, what a geek... just like me. Don't worry about how people see you. Actually, more importantly, don't even worry about seeing yourself at all. I nearly killed myself (not literally) trying to find myself. After all kinds of inner tests and social trials I came to a conclusion that is almost too obvious. There is no "you" at all. "You", or the self, is only a concept. That concept is seen differently by every single person you encounter, including yourself. There are things that you don't see in yourself because of deep rooted denial, and there are tons of things people around you don't see in you because of your subconscious mind. Wait...what the hell am I talking about? Does this have anything to do with what you were saying? Ah, forget it, I am a doodyhead.

My original point was that I am a geek in spirit, even if people around me don't see me that way.

Almost all my clothes are from second hand stores, but I don’t shop there because it’s trendy. I shop there because my grandma buys all my clothes and that’s all she can afford.

Dunno. When I was really young I wanted to be just like everyone else. At the time I felt that if I was different then I wasn't normal and if I wasn't normal then I wouldn't be accepted by everyone else. Later on I figured out that being accepted doesn't really matter and that individuality is a cool thing. I don't know if that addresses your question or not but it felt good to say.

It's cool being original (geek or however you choose to be). I'm sure your not the only dork, however you may be the one that makes the most sense out of all the dorks.

story of my life...

[DanMalo]

You should have seen me in high-school! I used to wear cardigans... people called me "Mr. Rogers". ha ha! Actually, I like to dress like an old person sometimes, and my aftershave makes me smell like a grandpa. Maybe thats why I feel more comfortable around old people, than I do with people my own age.

Well first different != dork.

Secondly, I have seen others dress the way you do so you are not alone in that respect.

[Testerline]

I used to care what other people thought about me. I usted to care about what i wore and how i looked but i discoverd its not worth it. Worrying about what other people think and what is "cool" and what is right just take up to much time. If i just do whatever i want and not care about the rest i feel much better about myself as a person.

O and i am a gemini i love long walks on the beach on moon lit nights. I like puppy dogs shinny ribbions and threesoms if you want to talk call 1-800-4-gemini

You're hot. lol. All I wear is Pac-Sun clothes cause they kickass. If you buy clothes from Dillards, I dont give a flying f***. Unless of course they make you look like a homeless broke tard. Do you have AIM? If you do talk to me. "LJCooLXIII"

I'm a struggling 15-year-old learning disabled girl who tries to stand up, I try to be nice to people but they just don't seem appreciate it. I can't spell I can't write I can't even do math now is someone going to say something really negative? go ahead your only hurting yourself if your trying to hurt me with words.

[Kaiser0120]

I wear brown and black slip on shoes, violit red sweat shorts, a black tank top and a black vest. You can tell right off I'm a geek.

I'll NEVER change, either, unless I find something better to wear.

:)

Love&Peace

You're a fantastic girl, Norn. No one is mean enough to say something negative just because you're a little bad at writing and math, seeing as your so friendly, cute and have heart.

*Eyes the rest of Newgrounds* NO ONE IS THAT MEAN, GOT IT???

*Turns back to Norn* You're cool, Norn, very.

You're not alone. You're not wrong in your way of thinking, at least, no more wrong than anyone else. I'm another one of those kinds of people (you know what I'm talking about). I remember in second grade while everyone was drawing conventional pictures, I decided to, just for the fun of it, just pick up a marker and start scribbling, changing colors every once in a while. This resulted in the following conversation:

SOMEONE WHO IS NOT ME: Uh, why are you drawing all scribble-scrabble?

ME: It's not scribble-scrabble. It's modern art.

...when it comes to my favorite bands, I look not only for a catchy tune or a cool baseline, but meaningful lyrics (Crazy, huh?). I can't dance either, but I pretend I can and hope that that's good enough. I always seem different from everybody else, in some somewhat intangible way... Auueh, I don't know...don't know anything anymore, which is a hell of a lot more than most. Sometimes it seems that everyone is really really stupid. And what is wrong with sucking on damp cloth, anyway?
