People don't think you're weird or different, they just think you're you when you come from a really small place. Things don't conform to the stereotypes you see on TV, and no one talks about my teeth back home. However everywhere else I've gone people notice my canines and point out how long they are. They notice how I walk funny, because I've got flat feet, and they talk about it. They notice all this petty little bullshit while walking around spouting opinions they got from TV and thinking as they were ordered to by society; stamping on any signs of non-comfortity, or if they do rebel, they do it in a social group. I'm not rebelling against society or trying to say that everyone should be different, I just want to be who I am without a bunch of people pointing out how weird I am, and yes I believe there is a difference between "individual," and "creepy ******** who'll probably try to kill me and rape my corpse given the opportunity."
