[Becoming]

So idk why but I just ignore my feelings...kind of push them away. So I don't know what I feel. I just play games or do my college work. So I have no idea what mood I'm in usually and I cannot think of anything but what I am doing.

Well I am different. I'm a gay woman and a vegetarian. I'm also indifferent about weed. I drink a whole lot when I do drink. I like to have close relationships. I don't like guns. I'm open minded. I don't like sports much. I'm an lgbt activist. Well I am different. People especially cannot handle me being gay or vegetarian sometimes. They point it out or make fun of me (mostly the vegetarian thing). They don't understand why I don't care for weed or why I drink so much. They do not understand why I also want to be there for people and visa versa so they get uncomfortable and they leave without a trace...sometimes for other reasons I may never know. They think it is unamerican to hate guns and war. They cannot grasp how someone can be so open minded and not care about people's differences. They don't get not liking sports. They think I am too serious because I fight for lgbt rights. Well I am different. People cannot handle me and do not always treat me the nicest.

I'm different and I am tired of it. Functioning in this sort of society is exhausting. :/

(((Becoming))) I embrace the fact that I am so unique.

It is my only sanity.

I am accountable to no one for simply being true to myself.

I'm a lesbian, too, and I know that it can make moving through the world a challenge.

I agree with Hooligan....embrace your uniqueness! Find people who value you for who you are. We are all different. Even folks who try to run with the pack have something unique about them.

It is hard enough having a mental illness, without feeling like you are down one because of being different. I think that is what makes people interesting and appealing. Their special blend of character traits and beliefs.

I hope you can find a place where you embrace all that is special and worthwhile in you. And as a side note...thank you for being an lgbt activist!

First of all I think you sound like a very strong person! You might be different from a lot of people around you, but sounds like you still manage to hold on to your beliefs and who you are. That is pretty cool of you! I am not a lesbian (possible bi- , whatever, I stopped labeling mysel in that department, just got too confusing when I don`t belong fully in eigther camp ) But I really admire people who are open about their sexuality. To be gay in this society is a really hard thing I think. I guess I have some pretty unususal political beliefs as well, socialist/leaning towards anarchism, and to most people that is very treathening. But I have to say that it is more accepted over here where I live to have not mainstream beliefs. I am also single by choice, another thing that a lot of people can`t get their heads around. Sometimes the lack of understanding in that department really exhausts me, and sometimes I just shut up and don`t speak up for myself about things like that, because I can`t take all the condesending and non-supportive reactions I get.

I wish I had the courage to "show" the world who I truly am... to be real to myself....to quit acting...

Have you ever thought of moving or are you kind of planted where you are because of work or relationships? Just asking because there are so many places in the US that are more tolerant of diversity than what you're describing.

Hi so um I read your thing and I'm idk I can relate I've been a vegetarian now for 3 years I hate guns and I'm 14 years old. Thing is I'm confused about my orientation I'm a girl who likes guys but I'm also attracted to women and may I say a lot more than men. I have never kissed a guy or girl romantically and I have been in one relationship with a guy and I didn't feel attracted at all
