    im a hippie and my friends hate hippies. well, they hate me now too. I don't know why but I asked a good friend of mine and she said they think hippies are crazy, mindless, nuthead crazyfucks. I was really mad and i was about to bite them. I wanted to ask how to tell my friends that hippies can look crazy, but actually they have a good point and the main thing is peace and love :( i need some good facts..

    Sorry... But my guess is they picked a steriotype to hate for no reason. Another random group people hate is the Jews. They don't know any Jews but they hate them just cuz.

    I could be wrong but my guess is they don't know shit and won't change their minds

    Well firstly... they cannot be good friends if they are fickle enough to not like you because you're a hippie. They would care about you, regardless of your beliefs, dress sense etc.

    I think that they have limited insight into the hippie culture and perhaps think that all hippies do is take drugs, don't wash and spend all day doing nothing.

    If you value their friendship, I'd suggest you speak to them about it; ask why they believe hippies to be crazy, mindless, nuthead crazyfucks! And talk to them about you as a person.

    I have had comments from people and a lot of my friends aren't hippies and think that the clothes I wear, music I listen to and the values I have are very different, but they love me for being random!

    Then why do you care?


    I think you and your 'friends' should stop worrying about stereotypes.

    it doesnt matter what they think, it only matters what you think.
    as you grow in this world and as people come and go you will only have yourself to be dependent on.
    your opinion of yourself means more then third person perspective.
    and a foundation built with peace and love and harmony towards others isn't something you should have to defend.

    The way the question was stated almost makes you sound like you just turned into a hippie all of a sudden. Maybe they don't hate hippies, maybe they hate people who jump on trends, no offense.

    The best way for your friends to see that hippies aren't bad isn't by telling them anything, show them that there not bad, a good first step would be by not biting them....

    Peace
