Do i offend people?
Okay, I tend to revolve around dark and violent things. I'm not gothic, but I do like to dress in black and I find a lot of gothic things interesting such as gothic art, poetry, alchemy, etc. I'm a writer, and the kind of things I write are mostly horror. I love vampires (not the lame twilight kind), witches, ghost, and original fairy-tales (not the Disney spoofs, but I mean the one's that came straight out of Brothers Grimm). My whole world tends to revolve around death, darknes, and horror, but that's not to say I'm not a happy person. I very much have am fascinated by life, as well, and I'm just closer to the dark of the world a little more than most people.
Anyway, all of this being said, my family hates it. They think I need to change my facebook book I have gothic photos on there, and my username is Darkprincess. They don't like that I buy alchemy jewelry and where a lot of black because they say that it gives a bad impression. Personally, I don't care what people think of me, but is my attire really offensive? They tell me I shouldn't be so dark, but does the darkness offend people. I didn't have many friends in high school, moslty sat by myself at lunch, but the people I did talk to didn't seem to be offended by it (but I guess that's because they had the same interest. Duh!) In middle school theater, I got a repituation for having "dead boyfriend jokes". I've gotten the "crazy" face a few times before after showing people a few of my collected photos. I can kind of understand that because the photos I collect are pretty morbid, but I've gotten the face from the stories I've written too, and I see that as just entertainment. It's no different than going to see a horror film. This isn't necessarily an "Is It Normal" question. I assume it is normal because I've had friends that are the same way, but I just want to know if it offends people or not.
