Do you do things because everyone else does them?

Seriously, do you say things that other people say?

Think things because it's the right thing to think?

Feel a certain way based on other people's ideas?

Not speak up because other people stay silent?

Dress how someone else determined was appropriate?

Behave in a way deemed acceptable by some unknown person?


Seriously, think about it.
I have to dress "corporate" to work because someone tells me to.
I'm not allowed to discuss race, religion or politics at work because it's inappropriate.
I can't say "I hate asians because they can't drive" because it's not politically correct.
etc,etc

Some people do this on a more personal level though, I know people who will say "you can't do that" and when asked why... they have NO IDEA.

Do you do this? To some degree or another?

How does it make you feel?

I feel like sad times in my pants :sad:

Not at all. I never let external factors or others influence what I say, or how I think, act , or feel etc.

I don't think I could if I wanted to. Lord knows I've gotten into trouble for it before. But life's too short, you know?

I think we all do to a certain extent conform to external factors. Lately though, I've been kinda saying what the hell I want. lol. I've been called an 'ass' due to it.

Funny how you're an ass for speaking your mind at times...

No, I walk around with a bag over my head.

When I go to a job interview, I do a chest bump instead of a handshake.


...Just to be different.

Nothing I'm proud of, but people tend to copy my swears. They don't use certain words because they either don't know of them or don't hear them often, but I definitely have an extensive swear vocabulary. When we play Halo online because it shits on COD4 and anything else you fuckers play, whenever I die I have a habit of yelling "Coon!!" or "Cunt" and it makes everyone laugh. Two days later, my friend is saying it everytime he dies and also yelled "Coon licker!" when he dropped a 12 pack of diet Pepsi and all the cans came out.

No I go to work wearing chains all around my body because I'm tired how everybody follows same guidelines wearing "proper" clothes.

I love these "rebellious" posts people come up with time to time when they get a little pissed at life. "Oh fuck me, I'm gonna make a post of something out of ordinary'.

It's not cool to me to be a nonconformist anymore. I got that out of my system in my teen years.
Yeah, it's almost like the pot heads thinking they know everything when they're high...they start analyzing shit thinking they know the "truth" and how to play the game of life, but in the end they're no where. Like they read one book on conspiracies and they believe every word of it.

I never do things because everyone else does them, but I'm just a human like everyone else so as a given most of the things I do are things everyone else does. I don't take a crap next to the toilet instead of in it to be different, for example.

When it comes to things where you have a reasonable choice, I do my own thing, which is still the same as a lot of other people no matter how you look at it.

i do a lot of thing because other people do too and cause i was raised that way. i shake hands when i meet people, i dress properly for interviews, etc. everybody or most people do that, its not speaking your mind, it's about fitting in and at some point we all have to conform to some external factors like it or not

Everybody or anybody that says they don't do things, think, or dress like others do are full of boloney shit. Or anybody that says others do/think/dress like they do is full of crap. Those are some contradicting shit.

Fuck out of here.
