It's sad to see people do anything for friendship. These people are so scared to be alone that they will sell their character and values just to be approved by others. I promise it's never been that deep for me. I don't fit in & never will. I never wanted to. It takes more heart to ride solo than to be a mini-me. I don't consider everyone a friend because I don't use that term loosely. For me, a friend is someone that I've known since childhood, someone that's got my back & vice versa, we keep it real with each other, and so on.
It is pathetic. Who raised these grown folks to follow the leader? When I was a kid, and I wanted to do what everyone else was doing, all my parents had to ask me was this question: If everybody jumped off a building, would you? I don't know about anyone else, but I'm glad I was raised to think for self, because the majority can be wrong.
Another bomb comment from one of my FB friends. She nailed it: Humans are way too fake & phony, so it's best to deal with them accordingly.
