Stop Faking it.

Ya thought this was about sex, didn't you??? I've met a lot of people in my life time. And, being me, I've watched  people, analyzed them and figured out what their lives and feelings and sentiments are, for all they're worth. So, I'm pretty convinced that I know a lot considering I have only 41 years' worth of life experience( I can only remember 15 of them). And what I've realized most often is that.. people are fake. It's true!. More than seventy percent of the people I've met are faking something or the other about them. You could say I'm cynical. I'm pretty sure I am. Also, I mostly only meet people who are drama-obsessed who're still trying to figure out who they are - if they've even thought that far. But I can sniff out the fakes from the genuines from a mile away now, and I know what I'm talking about.I think I can say with some conviction - a lot of conviction, actually - that people who fake things about themselves and their personalities are by far the most insecure. I don't mean people who lie. If you've told people things about your ‘wealth' and ‘status' to impress them, you're outright lame, I mean people who pretend they're a lot more confident than they truly are, or a lot smarter, or a lot ‘cooler'?. You could say it's a normal part of growing up, but I would beg to differ. I guess those reasons prove how insecure these pretenders really are. And guess what? Faking isn't getting them anywhere! Now they have appearances to keep up, and lies to balance. In the meantime they're getting more and more confused about who they are and who they want to be. They say things and mean other things and take really really long to grow up and grow out of it, losing any ‘friends' they had in the process. Of course, they never made any real friends, being far too busy making sure they were ‘popular'. Because, of course, that's how popularity works, doesn't it? Which is why being yourself is such a good idea. No pressure to maintain a façade, no unnecessary pains to take such as watching what you say, eat, wear, do, nothing. People like you for you, and that's the biggest self esteem boost there is! You get to actually air your real opinions, and that's always fun. Relationships work out, because to be true to somebody else, you have to be true to yourself, and to trust somebody else, you have to trust yourself. There's nothing cool about being insecure. When you accept yourself, all is well!.***SIDE NOTE***- (Rob/Admin)- My bad on losing my temper a few days ago. It's all good bro!

A lot of folks put on a front thats for sure. I know in the country people can be more friendly but in big cities often people lose the smile and become stone face. Putting on airs is common also. For some its hard to be yourself in public if its not close friends. I'm not bothered by it unless I feel I am getting attitude to me but you know people usually don;t mess with guys look like you and me right.

In this civilization world ,you are controlled by someone's eles,your family,you boyfriend,your girlfriend,your friend.Some accept them to comtrol some not.Just don't fear to fight to be yourself and any opinion from others never harm you if you don't put it into you

About the fakes - I never met a 100 percent real person. But I suppose ppl show their real side to their real friends. Usually when I get the ppl I keep around me, away from the day to day bullshit... work, family or ppl they dont like - they tend to show they're true side and usually seem alot more bright and happy. Ppl get watered down from jobs or maybe even friends and family or city life. Get them away from that, and youll see the true colors.

Great journal. And as they say for the most part, birds of a feather flock together. You know, when you position yourself around negative influences or people of the like, that tends to make an impression upon you. Learning of self is one of the best tools heading towards stable mode.As Oo.Cloud.oO stated, most people get watered down by other outside influeneces and even family. Possibly has alot to do with where and how people were brought up as well.

Overall, great journal bro.
