Be yourself...

In this day and age that we live in, I find that people struggle with showing their true nature. I find that people don't know what to do when they want to open up to someone and tell them that they are gay. I find that people don't find themselves attractive in the slightest bit, when you haven't even let anyone see you or comment on your beauty. I find that people are scared of choosing their words around people, because they are afraid of what they'll say to them...This is a very prevalent problem in society these days...I have one piece of advice for you: Be yourself. No one cares if you're gay, it's your choice and it should be respected to make such a choice. I find that gay people struggle a lot these days because their so terrified of revealing their true nature because people unfairly judge and attack them. Who cares if you don't think you're attractive. The small differences in everyone is what makes them so special, and you should cherish those differences. They mean the whole world to not only you, but someone else as well. You are who you are, and no one can change that but you. So cherish it and accept that you're beautiful in every way possible. Who cares what you say? Unless you are downright telling someone to kill themselves, this is not a problem. The power to speak above others is a power that you have alone. Don't squander it because someone might not like what you say. Everyone has opinions, but those are just opinions. They don't change the way you speak. Don't be afraid to talk about anything, because what you say should not be judged. It's sad to see such beautiful people waste away in depression because they're afraid of what society will think of them. Don't be that person, unless you want to be. Let your beliefs sing out, and make sure that they shine brighter than the sun. For you are strong, stronger than you think. I respect you for that, your friends respect you for that, your family respects you for that...The only one that doesn't...Is you. I'll leave off with a quote that I found: "When it doesn't feel right, go left. The one who follows the crowd will usually go no further than the crowd. The one who walks alone is likely to find himself in places no one has ever been before." EDIT: Let it be known that 300 beautiful people commented here today. I wish you well on your journeys. ;_;

  • (In straight just to get that out of the way) Being yourself is the biggest lie anyone will ever tell you. Sure all of that is nice to say and think about, but that's not how the world works. Peer pressure is a very real thing. It's a very powerful thing. It's a thing fueled by our human nature because we are a social species. We crave attention and acceptance from others. In order to get those things we have to conform to common social behavior. If we don't we get left behind. This is what happened to me. I used to have friends. Lots. But over the years, they started to become drinkers and partiers. If they weren't getting in trouble than they weren't having fun. I could see that the obsession with intoxication was changing them. I didn't want to be a part of that. And naturally, the last of my friends drifted away. I stood by my guns, and for that I was abandoned by people I had grown up with. Simply because I didn't want to be a part of the lifestyle that they were conforming to. Because of the abandonment I felt for the longest time I just didn't interact with people. And because of that I basically can't communicate with someone face to face anymore. I'm absolutely miserable now all because I didn't want to be a drunk pothead. I don't believe in friendship anymore. I have no advice to give. There is literally no winning in this world. I have lost at every step. Gained nothing and have become stagnant. But hey, at least I'm being myself...
