Is it normal that i hate to stand out?
Lots of people love the idea of being unique or being a "freak" or something. I absolutely hate standing out. I am very uncomfortable with myself and I like a lot of things or believe in or am involved in a lot of things people would judge me for. The idea of being judged makes me highly uncomfortable so I tend to keep these thoughts to myself unless someone I know won't care or is interested in any of things I believe in or am interested in. I was heavily bullied as a kid and wanted nothing more than to just be "normal" or to fit in like everyone else. I'm still like that and I will never, ever understand why everyone around me seems to want to draw a shit ton of attention to themselves or be perceived as different from their peers. That bothers the crap out of me. I dislike feeling out of place.
Anyone else the same?
