    I've been getting frustrated a bit lately. Im seeing people that are using labels to profusely and posing as something only for a week or two at a time.. why cant people learn to be true to themselves. One minute their with me standing up for their rights and what they beleive in, and the next their right on the other side of the line doing exactly what they were standing up against. I feel as though I can only take so much, Im a fighter, but the fight is so much easier with someone by your side, when it doesnt feel like its you against the world. I want to make a difference, even if Im not remembered, I just want to see our future get brighter because if we dont start changing it who will? If anynone has any advice please leave me some, or maybe even some words of inspiration, because Im feeling quite alone and lost right now....

    Hi, Don't worry about it. Most people are alone, very lucky if you can find someone to share over 50% of your life philosopy.
    Hippeis themselves, while seem like a big faimily or One Voice were extreamly fragmented and marched to many many diferent drums.
    As for people changing there hat every few weeks, it is just a sign that they are as lost as you are. Nothing worng with changing yourself while you are still searching for your own truth.
    Think you can find a lot of suport and frinds around this Forem though.
    Peace

    Smerfish,

    Dont't worry too much..everybody feels alone sometimes:H
    and yes..we are all like chameleons at times..:mad:
    I guess society pushed us in that direction..
    as for your life improvement..the times they are changing..
    let's put our hands and minds together here on this forum..
    let's listen to each other..without any prejudice..
    we cannot build mountains..
    or cath rainbows..
    but let's try one thing...
    to feel and give friendship to each other..
    on that issue we can build ourself..
    and do something..
    remember always 1 thing..
    the one who can give TRUE friendship..
    also receives it back..

    If they are in your age group, they may be trying on different hats to see what fits. Some young adults can appear fickle when they do that but they are probably confused and just trying to see where their true interests lie. Some are all about certain things till they find out it may require doing something too,lolol~*

    I don't want to sound depressing, but I've just gotten used to feeling lost and alone (it's not depressing to me even though it sounds that way, "all who wander are not lost"). And I've learned not to let what others do or think color my thinking, if it doesn't jibe with my own heartfelt philosophies. That's their prerogative, to think whatever they like. They have a right to be freethinking too, and we're all confused at points in our lives. I like to hope most people eventually figure "it" out. Takes some longer than others.

    Actually it is quite freeing to not worry so much about what others think. Being true to myself is what matters. If I can make a difference in the world, so much the better. I try to, anyway.

    This was a tough one to answer, and I'm still not sure I worded it just right, but...

    Those that mind don't matter, and those that matter, don't mind.

    Smerfish,

    Good to hear you feel O.K..
    Live is up and downhill,black&white,good&bad,yin&yang...
    We all have our down days..nobody can escape it..
    but remember...after the rain mostly there is sunshine..
    and these beautiful rainbows...come never without rain neither..
    Sometimes when I'm down..I listen to music...get stoned on booze..
    there's always a bright side after a dark day...
    so...keep your head up..and look forward...:)

    You'll find people around our age are rather insecure, this makes them crazy. It's the fact that you stand up that's important. Just know that there are people like you out there & I appreciate your intent of improvement.
    So basically...you're a good person, screw them. ;)
    Anyhow, you'll be outta that lame social situation later, as will I (thank freaking God) soon. They will grow up (hopefully) one day or remain lemmings.
    The important thing is that you don't conform to them.
    Peace, lady.

    smerfish-you sound like a fine and caring young lady.With a heart like yours,you'll be OK.Develope your bullshit detector--it comes in handy throughout life-there are those humans every where that are best avoided-some at all costs. Learn to read others motives.Seek only those for whom you feel love and who give love in return.To react to negativity is to let others control you.Hope this helps---with love-scratcho-

    Mom worries about me cuz I don't have any friends at school. My best friend got expelled and she's the only one I can relate to and what not. Everyone else is judgmental and stuff....
