Thanks Laurie. I've learnt to ignore such people on the outside, but my problem is how to process internally. They are two different things.

I'm not interested in tattoos or piercings, that's not my style. I just want to be normal and live a normal life. That's my dream. I've been different for too long for various reasons, another being a kind of refugee and having to move to another country because of war, where I was forced to completely change my culture and identity at the age of 5. So as soon as I formed a personality it had to be destroyed which led to some type of split personality. Thank you, not a slightest wish to be "different" again.

I know you meant well Laurie and thank you. You're a nice and kind person. These are things you couldn't have known.
