hold on.

being true to oneself is easier said than done. how can you be what you want or who you want to be when everyone around you do not accept people who have a rather different personality compared to the society? it is not easy to be who we are nowadays, because people look down, stereotype, and discriminate others which they think have a rather different identity than those normally have. cruel world.

just because some of us do not share the same interest with the 'normal' people doesn't mean we are any way different from everyone. take leasure for example. some find relaxing just by hanging out in the house, listening to kenny g, humming by the tune. but some of course, would relax in pubs or clubs. so what will happen if both of these people are somewhat friends? someone would have to give, another, take. and what if one of them refuse to join the other once too often? deemed anti-social? the dominant ones in the click will of course, be the most socialable people, and the minority who share different interests, the anti-socials. the way people define 'anti-social' nowadays irritates me alot. anti-socials are those withdrawn to themselves, and it's a serious mental disorder, not those people who like to do stuff they enjoy.

to the minorities, hold on. believe. if we have to fight alone, then fight alone. but there are times where we need to interact. kenny g at home? of course, ask a friend or two over. those who share the same interests are better companions. we live in reality. somehow or other people are related to each other. we'll have to interact with everyone we come by. being alone all the time won't help much. but at times it will give us peace. instead of feeling uncomfortable with the situation, instead of feeling awkward in places you don't like, being who you are will definitely be a better idea. when you are alone, think of much worse situation you'll be in. the awkwardness... the 'speechlessness'... the uneasiness...

to those who label others anti-socials, please stop. yes, you have a greater social status than the others, but that doesn't mean you have the right to label wrong words on the wrong people. they may need your company at times, but not always. so hang out with people with your same interest, do not pretend.

the point is, being who you are and doing what you want matters most. we live our life. yes. but we don't live our life for the majorities. we don't live our life for the minorities. we don't live brushing people aside, and we don't live trying to influence people. be who you want. do what you want. i know the society is still too conservative to accept people who have different personalities, different interests, but we don't live our life for the society. we are part of the society.
