@ChainedDead
I have a bad habit of disappearing for long amounts of time except to read friend's stories. Also a bad habit of not replying to other people's messages, aha. If you still feel up to talking, feel free to message me (but no guarantee of a reply.) Let's see if I can keep up with social media this time.
Social media has become a way to hide who you truly are because of your past mistakes and flaws.. But nowadays, are people hiding their true selves because of the hardships that they have faced to become the person they always wanted to be, or are people hiding their true selves to pretend to be the exact thing most people would hide from; a broken soul with false mistakes they have never made but feel necessary to have in order to compete for maximum attention with other people who have actually been through those same problems?
In other words all these people, every single person on social media, is either someone trying to be a better person than what they lead on with their past, or they're a person with a relatively normal past and wish to be a part of that group with depression and PTSD so they lie about their past to make it seem worse than what it really is.
Either way, people lie. Not just a few, but quite a lot of people, because they can hide their smirks behind a screen more than face to face with other people. Why can't we all just be honest, completely honest with who we are, where we come from, who our family truly is, what our past is like, and our true personalities? It's merely a waste of time to struggle in order to come up with a whole new backstory on who you are, and still get caught in your jumbled up lies rather than admit that you've either had a depressing past or a relatively normal, up and down kind of past and still not only get the same amount of interest from other people, but also create more genuine friendships based on the truth. Everyone is always upset that they are left behind or ditched; maybe they just saw through your many lies. And lying more out of fear that you'll be continuously dumped will only guarantee your isolation.
As for me, as long as you ask I will be perfectly honest with you, save for my age and where I live because only psychopaths would need that information.
But what I am a psychopath? (Not one I swear) also, I totally get what you mean by all of this. I know quite a few people who have and will create false identities in order to fit in with a certain crowd, and it makes me sad that they don't feel they're good enough to be themselves. I really hate that people feel they can't be themselves online or that they can't act like or like the things they like in real life. I dislike it so much and I wish it would stop. Although at the same time I have made and used false identities online. Just for the sake of having them. Other than those, I have been 99.99% honest with everyone I've talked to on here. Mostly because you can never be 100%. But still, I get it and I have the weirdest set of feelings towards it.
Most teenagers claim to be different, unique, original. Prove to me that you are different, and that nothing you are is based on another's perspective.
You explained that way better then I did. XD but yes. This is literally the human race in a paragraph.
@greywintergem I agree to an extent. People can create new ideas based off of seeing other thoughts and perhaps either enhancing such thoughts or mixing one with the other to create new ideas. That's how our new sub-cultures like emo or scene have been created as well as other ideas like selfies, the human centipede, and other unique modern ideas. And I believe if we used that same creativeness in ideas for making our own unique person, we would all be much different from each other. Still the same in a way, but a lot more diverse than what it is now. Basically, I've summed up people into several categories; the first is a person who wishes to be like everyone else and strives for fashion goals and personality traits as their idol or the other people who happen to be "cool." the second is a person who tries TOO hard to be different and ends up being the same as the other rebels who want to be different. these people are usually emo, scene, etc. With multicolored hair, bad tattoos that practically say "I hate society norms" and unflattering piercings like septum piercings (no offense for those that have it) and overly offensive clothing to purposely hurt others as a way of acting likethey don't care and that they're so much different. They end up becoming their own unoriginal group of people, aside from whoever started those trends because at that time they were truly unique before people adopted the fashion sense. The third kind of person is the real unique people. The ones who act the way they want with no worry about trying to be different, and no worry of trying to fit in. Just pure innocence at trying to be who you want to be. Maybe even adopting your own ideas of a fashion sense or how to treat people out of inspiration of other cultures. Still being the same as everyone else in a way and not being completely different, but being enough so that you could pick them out of a crowd easily.
We were meant to live for so much more, have we lost ourselves?
Just as an FYI, I follow random people that interest me, so if you question me expecting for more than that prepare to be disappointed. I apologize in advance for my curiosity.
How depressing to see that in the recommended section of my wattpad, it shows me ten werewolf stories that all have astonishingly similar names, made by ten different people. Where's the originality of this genre? I love distinctness, not... the exact same thing over and over.
@ChainedDead I'm sure it will be, your poem is already pretty different than what other people write which is mostly depression and giving up
@CreativeFanfiction Curiosity. I plan to write a fantasy story, and I am hoping that it's a little more distinct than what other people would probably write. I'm too paranoid to actually check the fantasy stories on here to see if they've been ruined beyond repair.
Hey, I appreciate the follow and you using one of the covers I made but for the sake of information, next time if you want to use a cover, please get in contact with me in any way possible just so that I know you've decided to use one. I'm happy to make them, just please tell me next time. ^-^ have a great day.
Thank you for understanding and for thinking that my edits for lack of better word, were good enough to catch your eye. XD.
@greywintergem I understand completely. I'll be sure to tell you next time if I happen to do that again.
Thx for the follow.
Hail Satan I'm back, or have I just arrived seeing as this website is practically new to me from all the changes it went through? Well time to find out.
