If you're honest: You’re rude.
If you lie: You’re fake.
If you’re quiet: you’re boring.
If you’re loud: you have a big mouth.
If you're smart: you’re a nerd.
If your not: you’ll fail at life.
You cover up: You’re a nun.
If you don’t: you’re a slut.
You try to fit in: you’re a poser.
You try to stand out: you’re weird.
You write a facebook status about it: you just want attention.

And it's all true, except for the part where that person said, if you cover up, you're a nun. Because as a Muslim, that's a must. But that's another topic.
Anyway, it got me thinking, 'then, who should I be? I can't be quiet, I can't be loud. I can't speak the truth, nor can I lie.' And then, here's the other thing, if I talk about people, I'm a bitch, but if I don't, I'm lame. So, HONESTLY, is there anything you can be without people thinking you're this or that?
Solution: Don't think of what people think of you?
Is that possible? Maybe it is if you're a carefree person, but for me, I've tried doing that, several times now. It doesn't work, because, whenever I do that, my own best friends would tell me I shouldn't act how I do, and I've gotta care about what they think of me, because they're my friends, and if I don't, and they dislike of how I act, I wouldn't have any friends now, would I?
Solution: So what? Make new friends!
It's not that easy, you know. Making new friends. It's like, you're telling a perfectionist baker, who's just finished her beautiful cake, with all the frosting detailed to perfection, to make a new one, 'cause you've smashed it.
Okay, maybe it is. Maybe making friends is easy. To trust them is something else, and that's the hard part. So what? Every time they judge you, you're gonna go find new friends? Is that it? Are there really enough people in this world for just you? And if you're gonna say, "screw trust, just have fun!" then you're insane. Because, when you're in need of something, friends are the only people you can count on (and God).
But sometimes, it's okay not to think of what people think of you, because that's who you are. You're just human, you can't be perfect, can you? If your friend, best friend, wants you to be like this and that, you tell him/her that he/she's not perfect him/herself, and that you're sorry, but you're not perfect, and you're happy with who you are. If he/she is really your best friend, he/she would be happy for you.
But I guess, there really aren't perfect people in the world.

Congratulations! You're not perfect! It's ridiculous to want to be perfect anyway. But then, everybody's ridiculous sometimes, except perfect people. You know what perfect is? Perfect is not eating or drinking or talking or moving a muscle or making even the teensiest mistake. Perfect is never doing anything wrong - which means never doing anything at all. Perfect is boring! So you're not perfect! Wonderful! Have fun! Eat things that give you bad breath! Trip over your own shoelaces! Laugh! Let somebody else laugh at you! Perfect people never do any of those things. All they do is sit around and sip weak tea and think about how perfect they are. But they're really not one-hundred-percent perfect anyway. You should see them when they get the hiccups! Phooey! Who needs 'em? You can drink pickle juice and imitate gorillas and do silly dances and sing stupid songs and wear funny hats and be as imperfect as you please and still be a good person. Good people are hard to find nowadays. And they're a lot more fun than perfect people any day of the week. ~Stephen Manes, Be a Perfect Person in Just Three Days!
