INDIVIDUALITY
July 2, 2006I have a serious problem with this world! You guys must be thinking I am jobless finding faults with the world since my last post was also dealing with a social issue. But no for some reason I feel someone has to talk about it or else why do I need to complain about it?
Well this concern is about maintaining one’s individuality! That has become a serious problem atleast in my life…..Its seems very hard to be your self these days… You cant do what you like, you cannot dress the way you want, u cannot choose courses the way you want..you cannot have thoughts for your self….cannot have your own opinion….cannot lead your own suitable lifestyle! it just sucks!
I thoguht this was only a problem in Sri Lanka and thought since its a developign country these kinda minor matters are overlooked and peopel expect you to be someone they want u to be more than what you want to be.
But nooooooo its not only srilanka… But its a universal problem thats happening mostly among teenagers and youth in their early 20’s…
For the past few months especially the last two I couldnt take it anymore… People are been so picky on hwo I am and are giving irritating comment to change to someone I am not! I am not likign it at all!
Ive been said I have to change my hairstyle…I have to get a freakign gf….I need to wear baggy pants and look cool…I need to get ultra modern sunglasses and look cool… I have to talk cool with the cool accent…I need to do stuff that attract girls…i have to do this that I CANNOT TAKE IT ANYMORE! PLEASE FOR GODS SAKES!
Cant I be freaking me! Well there is a difference between adapting to the modern society and changing ancient beleifs which dont suit nowadays and live happy and to change your personality compltely.. Why the hell should I change my personality? Cant I be PARTHIBAN!
If i change my opinions and my style and become someone and wear earrings and look cool and just go behind girls its not me! It acting someone elses part and I dont wanna do it!
I dont want a freaking girl friend now.. I like to take my time…but above all they want me to even experiment sex! GOD HELP ME! I simply dont get thsi world…
Why cant oen freaking idiot like me whos not bothering peopel and just doing his thing maintain his freaking personality and be me! Why do I need to copy someone else?
People should maintain who they are and be happy with it! Theres no use being someone else showing off…gettign a gf for getting status and just having sex….If thsi is the thing portrayed everywhere and you guys are so foolish to just absorb it and change your self thats so pathetic and I do feel sorry for you guys!
So guys Please Please just be your freakign self or else we wouldnt have a 6 billion population in this world with 6 billion different faces and smiles! 6 billion population should have 6 different personalities maintaining their uniqueness…
So please atleast if you dont wanna do it just keep quiet and mind your own business! stop changing other people into who they are not!

I totally understand and know the feeling of individuality, (eg. Woburn)

Man, I totally accept your view, and I know exactly what you mean by mentioning Srilanka. I have written a blog entry myself regarding this because I find it so irritating that some people, do not recognise and respect a person’s individuality.
