Hardly Fit The Bill

Just stay positive, you are going to be who you are going to be. I just thought that I'd share that your comment reminded me a lot of the philosophy known as existentialism. It is a philosophy that is based on existence and purpose. For example: As you had mentioned, 'they,' which ironically is the exact word that many of the philosophers used to refer to the masses that make up society, are placing these false labels on you, as in having nothing to say, or as the girl they expect you to be, or the quiet and discouraged one. You see, these false labels take you further away from what existentialism refers to as your "authenticity." These labels, if you chose to accept them, would be known as your "bad faith." A bad faith that you would follow, and by doing so, could never achieve your authenticity, that is your authentic and true self, this is the key to your happiness. I just thought that I'd share this with you in hopes that you may remain positive and on the true path to your authentic self. I don't mean any disrespect, but I also wanted to share with you that in Shamanism, and many ancient cultures, people who were on your same life path, were held in the highest esteem. They were considered extremely powerful as they were thought to understand the true balance of powers in the universe, the feminine and masculine. Hope this helps to provide a positive outlook on your current situation. Society can be cruel and most often misguided. Part of my personal philosophy is that there is not a perfect model for what a human being should be, in understanding that, we can respect the disparity of the human existence, and learn to live with an equal respect, an open mind, and a willing heart to both learn and share with one another.
