Wow. Can't believe I read all that. (Convo) No offense to you, Xeroxer. I meant that I usually would not be willing to read it all. Perhaps skim. This time, I didn't. ^__^

Anyhoo, it just reminded me how judgemental humans are. Everything and everyone is judged in some way or other by us humans. Why do we concern ourselves so much with appearances? Are we merely afraid of what we'll find if we explore the truth further? Or is it just trying to feel superior so that we can feel good about ourselves, despite the troubles that causes both parties?

Haha, no offense taken. I didn't expect many to read it xD

I guess we are so preoccupied about our status from the others because we are constantly around them, if they accept us, we can be more at ease.

Maybe we are searching for comfort. Naturally we can persuade ourselves easily, but it's hard to persuade them. 1 against many. And they can persuade you into being so judgemental about yourself with their snide and rude remarks. Many against 1 :3

So you're saying that the cause of all this is the fear of being alone? Then what about those who are already shunned? Do they not still criticize others? What is their motive? To stand out and be unique? To make them realize the effects of criticism? Or again, to make them feel better about themselves?

Hmm. Very true. But really. What do others find so inviting about becoming someone else, or having to look a certain way? Are we not all trying to find others that will accept ourselves for who we are? Would it not be harder for that to happen if we change ourselves to fit in?

You know what I've always wondered? If someone had been alone to the point that they hear their own voices or see their own images around them, would they critize themselves? If so, for what? Fighting against yourself for something you have or have not done.

Sorry for all these questions. sweatdrop

For those who are shunned, I believe they criticize others as mainly an excuse. For why they were shunned. Or maybe they truly believe in their criticisms and they were shunned because they stood up for what they truly believed. It'd depend on what type of shunned you're talking about. If you're just saying in a society, or at school, people might be shunned because they dress differently, like in the convo. But I believe these people find others and once again, ban together solving their lonliness. Personally, I think that if they put up with all this in the first place without conforming to avoid being shunned, they feel pretty good about themselves already and I can rule out that one.

Well, let me ask you a question. What do you wear on an everyday basis? Personally, I wear jeans and a t-shirt and perhaps this might make me look like everybody else at school trying to fit in but I'd argue that I am being myself. I'm not going out of my way to fit in or dress like I do. That's who I am. A girl sensible enough to dress warmly in cold weather and in love with jeans but with a limited budget. What does this get me? Jeans, shirts, and sweaters. I think how we dress isn't really important. True, it might tell us more about someone like in the convo but for those of us who hadn't seen the picture, that "friend" seemed like anyone else I would meet playing gaia.

That leads to another question.
When a gaian posts their picture on gaia, does a person's viewpoint about them change because of how they look? Does this affect them in any way?
What if we were to see xeroxer right now post his picture wearing a speedo, pink mohawk, rainbow stamped on his forward, with a bunch of peircings. Would this change your viewpoint about him?
Naturally, I would say no but to tell the truth, I personally do think it would. Actually, I take that back. After having read all of xeroxer's long posts and insightful opinions, I don't think it would. I already have too strong of an impression of him already. Its his mind that counts, right?
But if I hadn't gotten to known him so well and read all his stuff, then yes, I admit that it would change my impression of him.

<3 Vvveen.

No, I never mentionned the fright of being alone.

No one is becoming someone else. I have a saying: "The want to be unique, makes us common." We're all trying to stand-out. But still be down to the Earth and be able to get other things besides disgusted glances and rude comments of our looks. Others criticize others because they are aloud. Because it's their opinion and their's alone. It's an indirect way of showing their tastes. If they don't like the way you're dressed (and you're dressed all in black for example) then it proves that they don't like you.

To repeat another post I did much earlier in this thread. We dress alike sometimes because we are alike. Or we try to be. It's a desperate attempt to fit maybe. We dress alike so we can feel more with the right people, instead of being the middle finger standing upwards from the rest and insulting the other fingers with his audacious action. (How's that for a metaphor wink )

That was fun xD, I wish I could explain better :3

P.s Someone used me as an example.

To elaborate and go into maybe more detail from V.v.v.e.e.n post. Even though we tend to disagree, the first thing we gaze in a person before exhanging a word or body language, is their appearence. Because their appearence is related to their tastes.

The question that often flaws this theory is: Is it their tastes that affect their look, or their looks that affect their taste (With the influence of his or her gang of friends).

Everyday, I wake up for someone, it hurts me to know that she isn't waking up for me. That I am chasing someone who is chasing someone else.

I'm sure this has happened for everyone.

I can absolutely relate.

If I have no motivation, I'm miserable. So I always find something to keep me going each day. If it's because I'm vacationing next month, or because I like a girl ( cool ) than it helps. A lot.

I didn't actually "like" someone for three years. Is that weird?

I can relate, the boy I wake up for isnt waking up for me and the past 4 days is hell.

What defines a strong heart?

I think someone who has a strong heart is able to bring light into other people's life, even at the darkest moments. Someone who, even under horrible circumstances, can smile bright. Even if they cry and break down, they still are hoping for the best.

Someone who is caring, compassionate, and give to others without expecting anything back. Someone who try to always be there for others, and may even sacrifice their own happiness, just to make others happy.

Someone who will always fight for what they believe is right, and not give up. Someone who can help others up when they fall, and can get up when they themselves fall. Someone who can warm up others when they're cold, bringing in the rays of hope others may need.

Someone who is still human, who still suffers from the sins we are all plagued with, but can hold back those desires and instead focus on trying to remain strong for themselves, and the people around them.

I wish that my heart is strong, and that I am a strong person. I think that's my new goal.

I tend to disagree. The first part didn't seem right. If they can manage to smile even though there is nothing but dark clouds in their life. They why are they smiling? Who are they smiling for?

As for the rest, I agree. But I think that makes a strong person and mind, and not just the heart :3

"Meme si ce n'est pas clair,
l'amour est toujours dans l'air."


I watch t.v sometimes and I get really mad at the evil guys and wars they have on the show.

Why are they so bad? Because their line of thinking is more strict, organized and united? Why would it be so bad to have someone control the world? Everyone would be in order. Nobody would be distinguished as some other belief and everyone would have more in common.

A war is just a clash of ideals or judgements on how things should be run, from recent wars, we can look away and say wars is nothing but wrongful killing of another man's stubborness.

- sighs -

I have no true friends in real life. My closest don't even know me. But, they get so nosey that I don't bother sharing with them. I am arrogant in real life. Not arrogant as in I'll rub every success I get in anyone's face. I mean arrogant as I regard all the teenagers in my grade as trivial-troubled stubborn, self-centered, needy, intolerant, short-sighted, half-minded illogical, unoriginal children.

Yes, I admit. I find myself superior to them all. Maybe it's that I.Q test I took, despite the evident fact that I.Q tests aren't the best way to define and estimate one's intelligence or ability to learn or discover. Or maybe it's the fact that 4 consecutive therapists and psychologist's couldn't handle my terms of thinking and is by far too hard to analyze him.

Maybe it's my sneakiness of counter-analyzing. My school-therapist tried to figure me out when I was suddenly looking depressed (Now, they noticed.). She tried to assume something was wrong at home (Bingo.). Naturally, I disagree for the folowing reasons: None of her business. Doesn't concern her (Redundant, no?).

After 2 weeks, I have managed to figure out that her brother is in jail and her brother is having medical problems and she thinks she's pregnant.

What she got out of me is... nothing. Not true, she managed to slip out a few secrets of mine, but nothing hardcore or desirable. The problem is that she can't deduce, nor is she subtle in her techniques. It's all direct questions like I'm willing to tell the first stranger who "wants" to help me all about my life.

Maybe I'm arrogant because of the side-effects of when I was small. No friends, constantly booked with dance classes, karate courses, Horse-back riding, swimming lessons, gymnastics, soccer pratice, football rounds and when I moved from American to Canada, all those activites stopped and I rusted. Still living in my childhood's memories even though I wasn't rightfully happy, just blindingly joyful.

Ah, so much I have shared here. But never in real life. I have yet to figure out why. The true joy I enjoy here is that I can expand (See previous post about Gaiaonline) without presenting my physical self and gain the respect I deserve or want. Appreciation is added, of course. Because on the internet. I can socialize without leaving my house (which happens often).

Sure, I am envious at times because everyone is excited about their family-filled, friends-reunion activities while I'm at home, raking and thinking and ever-continually trapped between the four walls of our premesis known as home. That's why I like the internet. Because you're a horrible person only if you are like the people I named above. Your opinons online are your actually opinions and are hardly swayed but weakened influential factors that would take a stronger hit if it was in real life.

sweatdrop This was a long post. I guess I shared too much, I'm sorry. I wish I had a theory or thought that was less personal, more contrevercial (Sp?) and more general so everyone can relate to them.
