farting in the face of conformity

Do you do it?
Are you someone who is so called "socially awkward" but you feel like people really just trivialize over stupid crap because you aren't like them?
Are you someone who doesn't want other people to make you walk on eggshells?
I meet so many people in this community, and its like "heres what you have to do, heres this advice, heres some nonsense because you are a social mess and I need to talk to you like a child"
"oh you couldn't possibly be right about something, oh you need to be belittled right now while i ignore what is one you mind and act like an impolite jackass"
I get tired of those who whine about trivial shit in someones personality and people getting on your case over literally harmless behavior.
It always seems to be the ones with some level of narcissism that seems to keep them from functioning on any real intellectual level because they are hung up with trival, conformist social attitudes.
These people have no real confidence. They then look down on you for perceived lack of confidence.
I think it takes confidence to be yourself. I think that is what scares them. They can't so they must try to cope with the fact that trying to make you be like them is the only thing that makes sense to them.
Same people who always seem to have constant drama, are cliquish well into their adult lives in stupid ways that are childish on high school levels.
Conformity is super boring. It isn't anything but excluding anything that makes another person nervous because oh, holy shit, you might actually be a better person than them because you don't have to resort to social climbing and being insincere.
good nonconformists exist on the shroomery, a lot actually. Prisoner, sucklesworth, dr_gonz, bigswang, Wiccan_Seeker, and plenty others.

I know what you're talking about and i totally agree. I like to poke my finger in the eye of "conformity" when i can, although i believe conformity on a certain level is natural and required if you want to do things...
What i mean is kind of like this;
We're all human and we conform to being human so on a level we all have to conform to certain things
Like; I have to eat and poop, i have to breathe air etc.
We all naturally have to conform to some things.. know whadda mean?
I wish more people would try to conform to their own ideas.

non conformity doesnt exist, the harder you try not to fit societies mold the more you're conforming to the 'non conformist' one.

well there will always be those people who are nonconformist for the sake of being nonconformist, but i was more speaking of those who are nonconformist because they CAN'T be conformist.

What if you dont try for either?

seems to me that gray is trying to conform to both black and white but is too indecisive to choose one
charlie... there's no such thing as 'cant conform', the rebellious conforms too, just not to an accepted norm of society

a non-conformist is just someone who couldn't fit the mold or chose not too. I think it's a persons job to break the mold in some ways, but the problem is that some molds are good molds. Like wearing pants, That's a good social norm that I would like to see continued.

Being confident comes from a self perception of greatness. It's easily faked... just go to church.

Confidence can easily be faked or the lack of can be put aside temporarily by just forgetting or leaving behind the way you are and just going for it,whatever it may be.
Social anxiety for example. You might have a crippling fear. Go into a party where you know maybe one person. Panic stations. Just go up to a group of people and say "how's it going?" You will get a response. Doing little things like this helps build confidence from nothing. Get over that initial hump.

this is bullshit in pursuit of non-conformity, there are many who do in fact just switch their conformity group, but what you're claiming is that personal individuation is literally impossible

there is no objective force which dictates how confident a person is. confidence is a way of acting. and acting is all people ever do so it's up to you whether you want to choose to act confidently or not
you can't fake something that's made-up to begin with

I fart everywhere man, library, supermarket, a face is no different to me.
I have an alcoholic friend who was in my presence during a shroom trip once. He wanted me to knock him out so he could stop one of his massive hiccup attacks that seem to come with the territory of alcoholism and end with vomiting.
So I instructed him to bend deep with his head as close to his knees as possible, and breath deep.
He got farted on.

EXACTLY! You either are confident or you are not.
Besides that, women can't tell shit. I don't like stuck up bitches anyway, and I don't like a lot of stupid games. be real or get the fuck out
I get tired of peoples perceptions of what is confident and what isn't maybe I just don't feel comfortable around certain people, or I find certain people to be obnoxious and don't want to put up with their crap.
"cannabischarlie, you have to be confident, blah blah" I just tune out on that shit, and tell them I am plenty confident, that they don't know me, and then its more me being less than willing to deal with certain people on certain levels. I don't always have something to say. i don't always have the energy.
Certain people I don't want to put up with or fake it with. Belittling attitudes. People who aren't real. Fuck em. Always people that you know or kind of know and you know they are stuck up and don't want to try to work at their coveted friendship.
