I've never been one to play the game, and I've always felt like an outsider. I actually warn people before they meet me.
We had a long discussion a while back on Babble that made me think. About whether conforming is a form of showing respect for others, I think. It did make me think, but I'm still as eccentric as ever.
And I guess I'm not altogether sure what my motivations are. Am I afraid that I couldn't pretend well enough to be someone else? Is it because I'm too stubborn to want acceptance unless it's acceptance for who I truly am? Or am I just lazy?
I think being yourself should be good enough for anyone, Tamara. You're perfectly fine as you are.
