Many people may describe me as "outspoken," "confrontational," or even "direct" but I view myself as being honest and straight forward with the people I love. I have a great group of friends, but, I just don't let anyone waltz in my friend group. I have expectations and standards for each person, and if they can't meet those expectations, then most likely we won't get along. I am a strong advocate for standing on your principles, I don't let people boss me around nor do I ever fall into "peer pressure." Everyone nowadays only care for drugs, money, and sex to make them happy. I am completely against such things, and it makes me upset how younger people each day fall and abuse substances. It makes me upset how younger people are only focused on one thing, like romantic relationships, sex, drinking, smoking etc. I do not shy away from the truth, if what you're doing is harming you, then I'll say it to your face. Most people don't like me being "direct" or "honest" because people do not like to be confronted with their addiction. They would rather want the easier way out. Friends are important to me, and no I am not talking about fake friends who pretend to like you, but then only stab you in the back. I have had many fake friends in my life, the types of "friends" who you could never spend any personal time with them after school, the friends who only talked to you out of convenience while others were gone, the friends who never really listened to anything you had to say, the "friends" who always pushed you aside from the group. I have been rejected and tossed around by so many people that I stopped caring about what nasty comments they had to say. I stopped caring a long time ago and finally decided just to be myself. I am a carefree goofy ass that doesn't worry about trying to solve world hunger or climate change. I just live my life as days go. on with the people that I am comfortable with and love. People call me "retarded," "absurd" and down right ridiculous, but, I do what I want and enjoy every second of it. I am silly and do a lot of stupid stuff, but that is just my personality and the way I am. I don't expect people to understand it, and I don't expect people to "accept" me. Everyone calls me weird or a freak, but at the end of the day I'm still having a good time. Haters gonna hate???
