Raising the Confidence

In today's society if you're not skinny, not "normal", not pretty enough, or don't like popular things, you are an outcast. You are labeled as uncool. Some of us choose not to notice and some of us wish we could also ignore it. I'm not here to rant about bullying or how society can be so cruel. This time I want to reach out and spark some confidence in people like me. We know how it feels to be unaccepted and it's time we stop caring. We need to be confident, because we are all equal people.

Lets face the facts:
  1. We can never be skinny enough, because that's not why they dislike us.
  2. What is normal? It's subjective, and everyone has their own opinion.
  3. Everyone is beautiful in one way or another.
  4. Looks aren't everything, because eventually they fade.
  5. The people who judge others are cowards, and have to make others feel small so they can pretend they feel bigger.
  6. They don't matter to us if they have to act so rudely and immaturely.
We don't need to impress anyone, because those who matter don't care about who we are, how we act, or what we like and wear. As long as you can be happy with yourself, that's what matters. Why should we let them make us feel bad? We're all people and it's time we all act more civilized towards each other. From now on let's all try to be confident and be at least courteous towards each other, if not only nice. Not everyone can abide by how I think and feel about this topic. That's not even my goal. My goal is to reach out and help a group of people, or even just one person with my writing. Now, I'll leave you with your thoughts and hope you take to this with a different outlook.

  1. i agree. if people dont like a fat crazy guy that makes love to canteloupes and shave my legs just because he's not normal is messed up. you have to get to know someone. normal doesnt exist, and neither is perfect. people should just judge you on your personality and everything that does matter

  2. Normal can't exist, because we'd all look and act the same. It would be a very boring world. People who are "different" make this world more fun to live in. A world better to live in is another story.
