I don't compare myself to others

What is the point of worrying about how much I am like someone else? I have had many interesting encounters with people who want to conform to the norm. I am not worried about what other people think of me. I tend to stir things up a bit everywhere I go.

I don't like it when people get mad at me but, I still can't stop being me just because other people don't like me.

The biggest conflict people have with me is usually about appearance I dress sloppy and I don't spend much time at a beauty salon either.

I hang out in a lot of shops that have a lot of messy chemicals and stuff and every time I wear a $1000 suit to one of these places it gets ruined or some kind of spot on it. Then people say, "oh you have a spot on your suit". I think, Well dammit I am conducting a scientific experiment over here and I don't care that I have a spot on my suit. I wear a lab coat too but I still have on a pair of sweat pants on underneath.

When I do dress up and wear make up and have my nails done people treat me so differently. I don't really appreciate it because they only think I am more like them which I know I am not I feel it is so deceptive and I guess I really would rather not be liked.

 

must be nice to be able to afford a 1000 dollar suit.

 

I feel you

I don't worry what others thinik of my appearance either

hehe I'm like a "fixed up hippie" like I wear makeup, have nails and straighen my hair..it;s too frizzy if I don't..it didn't used to be

I wear dresses, skirts jeans and t-shirts

it's fun

 

Just be yourself and screw everybody else.

Peace

 

I compare myself to Moses.

 

I know that I am treated differently when I go out all dressed up with my hair done, as opposed to wearing a pair of yoga pants, tennis shoes and a tee shirt with my hair in a messy ponytail. But sometimes, I just don't want to bother. And I figure, if people don't like me for ME and will treat me differently based on my attire for that day, then they're not worth knowing anyway. So the heck with them.

 

wow Marc, you look a lot like Moses!

 

Girl, it's impossible for you to not be gorgeous no matter what.

 

Haha! I don't know about that one. You haven't seen me first thing in the morning.

But thankyou.

 

Told ya!!!

 

I bet your hubby agrees with me.

 

He does tend to say the same thing when I fuss about how I'm looking, yet I never believe him.

 

You are doomed to be gorgeous no matter what. Deal with it.

 

i have no idea what the OP here is talking about. apparently they are a rich person who is proud to dress like they're not rich?

i know that's my goal. i still have a lot of work to do on that one.

 

my thoughts exactly

 

yeah, it's weird how people treat you differently based on how you look. It's definitely harder to make friends when you're ugly. But the good news is, I know my friends are true friends because they like me despite my ugliness!
my usual attire is like sweatpants and a t-shirt or flannel or something. whatever is most comfortable. whatever whatever. i don't want be like based on my clothes anyway.

 

I think it's funny when people limit themselves to a certain look because they are trying to be different from the crowd and pretend they don't care.

 

punk rock! studs and spikes!

 

...it is still a lot of emphasis on clothes.

I hate shopping. So I wear whatever I have in my closet (that is usually 3 or 4 years old and worn to crap), or whatever the girlfriend bought me.

 

I compare myself to people all the time. Not that I wanna be/don't wanna be like them.. I just self-analyze a lot and comparing myself to others goes along with that. Not that I am obsessed with how similar/different I am from other people or obsessed with what I'm like either.. just.. I think everyone compares themselves to other people even if subconsciously. To the OP - you just compared yourself to other people by the way.
