having opinions means people will disagree with you.

last time i went to my grandparent's farm and wandered the ache-ers i really pondered how i have to be a square peg or a circle peg or, and never really felt happy with having to do these things simply to be in someone's presense, and the thing it a lot of my friends have very different opinions some of them quite violently so, and i have to bite my tongue all the time.

i try to form opinions rather join a group and go along with whatever the group deems right.

and that doesn't make me very popular.

in fact recently i found myself withdrawing more and more.

and out in the world and even in emails and post and elsewhere i must shut up more and more.

this sickness it building up in my stomach and i'm sweating and clammy.

there is no one here and if there were right now i'd send them away out of fear i'd only make them hate me.

i think i'll smoke and attempt sleep.

I used to be and feel a lot like that, one day I realized that no small part of it was simply I am a malcontent and reactionary; I simply had to take the opposite side of stuff just to maintain my 'outsider' self image and it made me less then popular. The funny thing was all of my bullshit was predicated on the belief that I was like that because I was soooo independent thinking and refused to let the masses influence my whims. The joke was on me, later in life it occurs to me that always picking the opposite of the pack I was just as much letting them run my thoughts as if I had been blindly following the rest of the sheeple.

Just because masses of idiots feel one way it does not mean they are wrong.
chinowski:
anyone that ever made a change in the world, invented something, created something, or was great did not have this difference to simply be an outsider malcontent or reactionary (although those things may have played in) the difference was they kept thier own opinions and explained why they were beter then the current paradigm despite the supposed correctness of religion, government, ect

just because everyone thinks the world is flat does not make it so.

Pvt. Joe Bowers: What *are* these electrolytes? Do you even know?
Secretary of State: They're... what they use to make Brawndo!
Pvt. Joe Bowers: But *why* do they use them to make Brawndo?
Secretary of Defense: [raises hand after a pause] Because Brawndo's got electrolytes.
