Have problems making friends when you act like yourself? Seriously, I have to pretend to be a completely different person in order to get along with people. It's really got me thinking that either I need to become someone different altogether, or realize that people just suck.
I've had people not like me for being myself. But I have plenty of people who like me for me. I couldn't imagine pretending to be someone else for the approval of others. I won't share all the same interests with them (I have only a handful of friends that I can talk Trek with) but I don't have to pretend.

This is how I feel. If the friendship is not based on truth, the entire friendship is a lie. What's the point of that?
I have ZERO Trekkie friends. The only other person I know who loves it is my brother. My best friend pretty much laughed at me when she found out I was getting into it. I guess it was a bit... unexpected? But, that's what makes real friendship so awesome. I can be myself... and whether or not my friends like ALL of the same things I like, it doesn't matter. We accept eachother anyway.

I would simply respond: "Yeah. Why aren't you? This shit's the shyte!"

When she asked how that happened, I believe my response was something like "...Because it's awesome!?". She just laughed again. (Everyone laughs at meeeee!
)I accept her True Blood obsession, which is much harder to do, IMO.
Yeah.
I mean, another run-of-the-mill Vampire show that will most likely be forgotten in a few years or a science fiction legacy that's stood the test of time for 45 years?
I won't laugh at you.
If two people share ALL the same interests, attitudes, and opinions, that makes for a pretty boring friendship. You might as well have conversations with your reflection in the mirror.. . .
