Social Awkwardness

I was always the social awkward outcast in the group I was in. I was usually by myself because my friends were not with me, they couldn’t stick by me.

Being picked on for the way you look, dress, act….it’s not all happy go-lucky that some people may think. It’s really life changing and heart breaking. For years I always thought that I was not the type to be socialized with. Believe me, it was the dumbest thing to think about myself. I’m not saying that I’m perfect and that everyone should get to know me or love me because that’s never going to happen.

But because I do things differently, I've been treated differently. No, I’m not incapable of anything. I’m just as normal as you. But then again, what’s really “normal” in this world of society now? To others, a person who is “normal” is someone who does the same thing everyone else. However, you might be as abnormal as you’d say one person is because the norm to them is how they see life.

I pick on myself a lot to try to get a point here. Sometimes I wonder if I did get through people. Now, I really don’t care. If I do, yay! If not, bummer. But all in all, to say that someone’s not “fit” to be a part of the normal society or what isn't just rude, but hurtful.

If people say that we are all equal, why come up with this dumb tactic that you’re only normal if you do the same things people do. So if people jumped off a 100ft cliff into the crashing waves to kill themselves, it’s considered normal? Or if people are “fit” that everyone else have to be? Those who are fat, or chubby, or big boned have no right to live in the same world everyone does?

Well, let me just get this out: If a person has to keep up with a trend just to be accepted in this world that we so humbly love now, then it’s not worth it. It’s better to be an outsider than to follow trends that will never last a lifetime.

So, what is normal? That’s a question that you must ask yourselves before considering telling someone that they’re not.

We’re all different, but we all have our little abnormal moments. So are you normal? Are you in with everyone else?
