Yes, life is too short to live it in a mad illusion.
Hambone is right. It's not a uniform. It's a friggin' costume.
I would recommend a psychologist, and I am serious about that. Escapism is a serious issue people should deal with.
I wouldn't say anything if you wore a costume to a convention or to Halloween. That's on the same level as soccer fans wearing the jersey of their favorite player to a game.
But your case is something different.

boom!! theres your organization...
but thats not the point.... the point of this whole thread is to report the expereinces of wearing the uniform.... and starting today, i will be wearing a uniform every day for six months.... in a sort of... refuseing this psycological "help" that i should have...
back to reporting...
yesterday in a success stratagies class, we disscussed this whole thread and how it relates to me. we also explored as to why i wear it. the class could not beleive this thread. every time i wear it they are in support of it and request that i wear it more often because it reflects "ME" and who i am.
here is day one picture....
you my friend, have no right to start diagnosing me. tell me, how do you figure that i might have this "escapism" that you so claim i have? what are your facts? you dont know me. you have no basis except this tread. i would advise you not to do this again...

I've asked that people not get too personal in their responses to you, but given that you started this thread on an internet forum, it is unreasonable to expect that everyone is going to agree with you.
If you are not comfortable with the answers you are getting, then perhaps you shouldn't have raised the issue in the first place.

Or you'll do what, just out of interest?
BOOM!! What organization?!
Flashy and 'in your face!' comments will not win people over to your view.
i am happy to get answers from both side of the spectrum. when ppl start to do things like this, that is were the line is drawn.... i started this to tell everyone my experences in public with the uniform by request af a member one year ago. that was my attention, not "this". the only thing i dont like is just simply, ppl diagnosing me with psychological problems. only thing...

His link wasn't entered correctly. It's here. It's a link to the STARFLEET International Star Trek Fan Association.
Thanks, Tom Riley. He seems like a nice kid. But definitely needs either a refund or repeat of those community college courses.
so here it is... one pict that you have requested... this was taken at the willow creek cinema 8 after the new star trek movie...
You know, a Star Trek polo shirt just ain't trying...
I hope that is not an excuse for not trying harder. You need a basic education to survive in this world... and definitely need one to make it better.
You have a set of 'core beliefs' which is commendable. Now you need to be able to communicate those beliefs in an intelligent manner. Please work on your language and communication skills, especially your spelling.
(Yes, I have said the same thing to my own children... many, many times.)
This thread just took a turn for the worst.
How can you expect the uniform to reflect your core beliefs when the general public probably doesnt KNOW the core beliefs of star trek? They just think: oh hey, this dude is wearing a trek uniform. He must be a geek. Thats as far as they get.
If I were your employer, and you wore a uniform to work, I'd probably give you a warning for not dressing professionally. If you did it again, I'd probably fire you.
Sho, you believe in what you are doing, you're not hurting anyone - if that's what you want to do to express yourself - fill your boots. Comments on this thread you don't like - ignore them and carry on.
