NO, DON'T GIVE IN.True which is why I don't fit in anywhere. I wish I could avoid people like that, I'm tired of being constantly judged as a silly weakling because I can't, say, work a well paying job if I don't enjoy doing it. That's pretty much the bulk of what I was referring to. Everyone wants me to eat shit and like it and from my economical, social and whatever position that's the only choice I have so I'd better get used to it.
I feel the same way. People compare others to the same ideal they aspire to. What they don't realize is that the ideal I aspire to is nothing like what aspire to. They have no idea what they're talking about. Maybe being a "silly little weakling" (according to their standards) is right. (It may not be for them, but maybe it is for you). There are some skills and characteristics that are better suited to society but that doesn't mean that they're BETTER because not everybody benefits from conforming to society or believes it's right thing to do.
Some people just can't think outside of the constraint of "this is the way things are done now" or "this is the way that makes the most sense to ME." Ignore them.
Sometimes options are limited but recognize that there's a difference between the way things ARE and the way things SHOULD be. We all reserve the right to do what is best for ourselves and to want what will make us happy and fulfilled. Try not to be influenced by others and to make whatever decisions you think are in your best interest. Hard, I know.
