Well, you see, sometimes I find I can't be myself eg. dress style when I'm around people from my religion. I just can't be. I've tried, and I found it very hard. They don't seem to accept it. I don't totally dismiss everything of me when I'm around them. I just simply tone it down. I wish I didn't have to do that though.
I come from a "ghetto" area shall we say. I'm nothing like the "ghetto" you know, the attitude and dress code. You either are that or you aren't "normal" to them. Which I find disgusting. [/QUOTE]
can you explain the "ghetto" situation in a bit more detail please,you've got me curious to exactly what you mean by that?

Well, I prefer not to go in to too much detail about it. All I shall say is..... You get these weird looks, like you are a bad person for dressing the way you choose to dress. Sometimes you can deal with it alright. Some days it becomes less easier.
I don't want to be or look a certain way to fit in. That's why I choose not to be like everyone else here and be my own, the way I want to be.
I never say anything to those who bad mouth me. I never bad mouth them back. I don't see the point and what you will benefit from that. I never make anyone feel they can't be themselves around me. I never tell some chav to quit being a chav because I don't agree with it. Because I'm not one myself. So why should people be that way towards me? Is that kind of clearer now to you? :)

@ Kelly: Yeah, I see what you are saying. I agree with you. I just wish things were different. :-)

You know how they always say, "Be yourself and people will like you for who you are" ?
That never seems to work for me.
Some of my schoolmates can't look past the Queen, David Bowie and Rocky Horror Picture Show aspects of me.
:S

What makes me me?
Well.....
I am kind, polite, helpful, considerate, caring, patient, hard-working, positive, loving, helpful, charming, genial, compassionate, forgiving and many more.

What a cool post!
Sooooo what DOES make me ... me? I wish I knew. I suppose I'm at a stage in my life where I'm just trying to figure out who I am and what I stand for. I think I'm sort of hard to figure out. I'm really quiet and shy and I think that makes me somehow less approachable. But, trust me, I'm a pretty cool person once you get to know me! What I do know is that I think very highly of myself, most of the time at least, and I'm always right (or I like to think that I am). I'm very impatient and can have a pretty nasty temper if you get me riled up. I'm very sarcastic and sometimes even a bit cynical. I worry easily and have to plan everything ages in advance. I think of things differently than most people do and I would never change my opinions or morals to be percieved in a specific way. I DO care what other people think of me but not in an annoying superficial way. I want to be respected by my peers and lead a reputable life. However, I'm not going to shop at certain stores or hang out with specific people just to be accepted by a bunch of materialistic idiots.
Quite honestly, I love being by myself. Don't get me wrong, I'm not a hermit or a social outcast by any means. I just see my friends and family so much throughout the day that I REALLY value the time I get to spend alone. I love meeting new people and talking with my buds but after a while it all gets so overwhelming that I just need to chill out and be left alone!
Overall I'd say I'm pretty happy with who I am. I do have days when I doubt myself or feel as though I'm doing something wrong. But when I look around and see how much worse off I could be I just stop and think that I am grateful to be who I am ... even If I don't really know who that is! lol.

And as cheesy or cliche as this sounds ... I'm going to say it anyway (we gotta spread the love people!) I think you're all lovely people for being who you are ... regardless!
Yeah I agree with everything you said Megan. Especially how you said, you like to take some timeout and be alone. I get that sometimes. I'm not some hermit though. :-D
I have no problems with who I am. I think it's others who have the problem. That's what I'm trying to say.

Why should they have a problem Jess? You are a fantastic person. (And that comes from a guy who never lies.)

How to describe me....
Well.
If I could describe myself all in all with a queen song it would be "I want it all."
And I'm not spoiled.
It means that I want to do everything when I grow up, and live everywhere. I want to do music sometimes, and acting, and sometimes medical and science things... And... and... sometimes i want to go back to Germany, and sometimes I want to live in New York City... ugh. :S

Hmm.....what a tough question....
To other people, I am probably pretty WEIRD. People tell me I am all the time. They're always like, "You're REALLY weird, but in a good way." I'm always thinking, what's a good weird? I'm always myself, and I never pretend to be anyone I'm not (pre-teen shit! :P). I keep to myself a lot. I guess I am KIND OF weird...I dunno..... :/
