At the end up the day.. You're alone.. a body made up of cells.. unsure why were are here.. It's subjective. People happy you're alive. You could have been a fish. Yet you are concerened how you look. You could have cancer, yet you are concerned about the girl that doesn't like you. Walk.. walk through a forest red eyed. Accept nature.. Live it.. Looks towards the sky.. Reach towards those plantets as close as you can. You might not really reach them, but have that wonder.

people generally want to be liked by other people. say if your popular, you wouldnt want to be seen with a "loser" as that would ruin your image.

some people feel insecure about themselves to act the way they want to.

it sucks. took me pretty much til about half a year after High School to finally become confortable with myself and not care anymore.

Ya man. In high school I hung out with the most random group of people. People from all sides of the spectrum... but in reality.. I was sleeping most of the time.

Humans are pack animals, therefore an inherent trait of social responsibilities and hierarchy is built in.

I was the kid you either liked or feared. I did some crazy stupid shit and there were rumors I did even crazier shit.

I most certainly entertained those rumors to the best of my ability. :D

For some reason, before I thought about how life is, I mean how life REALLY is. Like you said, we are just made up of cells, nature is great, life is short, why care what people think of us? For the most part, I stopped giving a damn. I'm comfortable with me, one day I will die so, I might as well not give a flip what other people think of me. Plus, I keep my body in shape and feel strong. Why would I ever want to be anyone else or give a damn what they think these days?

Sounds like me right now, br0ken:D. Not so much the crazy stupid shit, but I am the guy that you either love or you either hate. Mostly, its loving:P Anyways, to the TC, I couldn't care less about what people think of me. Yes, I do care, but I do things to take myself off of those melancholy subjects. One reason I listen to music so much. I never think of my feelings, ever. As then I am sorrowful..

Yeah it's so weak minded, im sure that's exactly what employers think when some guy who stinks like he hasn't taken a shower in two weeks and is wearing jeans really believe while they are interviewing him for a job.

You can deny it all you want, but fitting in matters in the long run. You don't want to find out the hard way.

Why?

Because humans are social animals they are also pack animals. The individual that does not fit into the pack does not get fed and eventually dies without reproducing.

Primitive way of thinking. Lol atheists are amusing. Besides, in our  modern society, that wouldn't happen...as often.

This, though I hardly concern myself with others opinions. I do know I need to be more social and flexible in order to fit in with society, something I'm working on. Kind of hard to adapt to something that you have so little interest or enjoyment in doing though...

What other people think of you is very important for everything in life. If others think negatively of you it limits your job opportunities, personal relationship opportunities, enjoyment opportunities, and so on. That's not to say that you should care what jerks think of you, but you can't act like a jerk your self because you don't care what others think of you.

What if I said people thinking negatively of you fuels you to work even harder. For example.. I don't like him.. but he's a good example.. People told howard stern in the beginning that he a had a shit radio voice.. and couldn't do anything with it.. Now he's one of the top paid radio guys. Why don't more people just stop listeing to So much.. and work hard instead, and live their goals. People's stupidity bring others intelligence down from feeling.. Emotions are really annoying.

Bullshit feel-good argument. Everyone interacts with someone else. Searching for approval is an essential part of our psyche.
