Devils Child - I was going to respond to you last night, but it was late when I saw you rsponce. But everyones responce said it better than I could have.
I think the bottom line is don't try so hard to be someone you want to be. Let it come naturally. Don't worry about being shy. There is nothing wrong with it. When you are in an enviornment you are comfortable with you will open up with out trying and you will be more comfortable because it will be who you are, not who you are trying to be. You will be more sincere and feel more relaxed. There are many people in your pary of the world just like you.
Have you ever listened to the song "Don't try so Hard" by Queen. It was one of the last songs Freddie Mercury wrote before he died. He was one of the shiest people on this planet. But give him a mic and an audience and some music. Man, He was one of the greatest and most flamboient performers ever. As well as a great musician. (Google the lyrics)
And Hey Necroticist you can be a black sheep , but not the only black sheep. Growing up in Brooklyn in the 1970 when for a few years every one loved disco (YUK). Twisted sister being a local band had a song for us:
BLACK SHEEP OF THE FAMILY
NOTHING LIKE THE REST
SEPARATE FROM THE OTHERS
FAILING ALL THEIR TESTS
CAN'T THEY SEE YOU'RE DIFFERENT
SO HUNGRY AND SO LEAN
YOU'RE A WALKING WONDER
YOU'RE A METAL MACHINE
LOOK AND YOU'LL SEE
YOU'RE A LOT LIKE ME
YOU'RE A SICK MOTHER FUCKER
YOU'RE AN S.M.F.
YOU'RE AN S.M.F.
YOU'RE AN S.-M.-F.
CAUGHT UP IN THEIR WORRIES
AND TOMORROW'S DREAM
MISSING ALL THE LIVING
MILK WITHOUT THE CREAM
THEY THINK YOU'RE SO FOOLISH
LIVING FOR TODAY
CARING JUST WHAT YOU THINK
NOT WHAT OTHERS SAY
JOIN WITH US
OH, HOW THEY'LL SCREAM AND FUSS
YOU'RE AN S.M.F.
YOU'RE AN S.M.F.
YOU'RE AN S.M.F.
YOU'RE AN S.-M.-F.
ALL RIGHT, ALL RIGHT
WE'RE THE ONES THAT LIVE IT
WE'RE ALL REALLY FREE
AND IF THEY THINK THAT WE'RE SICK
THEN SICK IS WHAT WE'LL BE
SCREAM IT LOUD
KNOW WHAT YOU ARE BE PROUD
YOU'RE AN S.M.F.
YOU'RE AN S.M.F.
YOU'RE AN S.M.F.
YOU'RE AN S.-M.-F. |
