People Concerned What Society Thinks

[The Penguin]

I find it pretty interesting many people cares what society thinks.

I remember my mother made a fuss about my hair being a mess and not concerned going out in public like this. I was like "Well, Bill Gates had messy hair when he was my age and be became very successful." My point was not you can be successful having messy hair, but rather, it is not the end of the world going out this way.

People having concerns what society thinks can prevent them doing things they enjoy to do. To me, I don't find it worth doing this just to connect with people.

If I were that concerned with what society thinks or worse, thinks of me as an individual, I'd be a rotting corpse by now and I wouldn't be typing this out. This is the part where I bend over and make a certain gesture with my buttocks, but as I'm on the internet nobody saw that

I'm enough of a mental mess internally, maybe a bit of a freak and weirdo on the outside - this is all I've ever known so things aren't changing anytime soon. Don't care really, can't waste every waking moment of my life pleasing people who are of no benefit and even if I could, I can't please everyone so why bother?

Caring what people think is a great way to make yourself miserable via a never-ending cycle of one-upping yourself to try to impress your collective masters and claw your way out of the black pit of self-loathing that was once your sense of self-respect.

In other words, in Admiral Akbar's words, "It's a trap!"

I try not to care what others think, but sometimes it is hard.

I mostly don't care what people think, but yeah it's not always that easy.

I may acknowledge...but not care.
Caring implies there's a possibility that I'll change based on another's opinion... that will be individual specific ... and I'm trying to hold my convictions and not be led by the whims of others in the naive attempt to befriend. The view of the collective masses is a fallacy as they are dictated as to their viewpoint. Progress depends on fighting the norm. The very society preaching convention is doomed if they were adhered by all. Zombies!!

I do feel most of society are zombies.

I don't feel like there is a mass of people regarding me.
Finding people whose thinking is focused upon me and
my activities would be a challenge, I think.

Speaking from personal experience, it helps a lot if you are old and grumpy.
