Popeye always said "I yam what I yam." That's all there is to it. We've all heard the lines about being ourselves over an over. It never really sinks into people till later in life and with some people much later.
A lot of things just don't stick into anyone. People stigmatize everyone. And then the one being stigmatized thinks there's no choice, but to be someone else and that never works either. It's too much work. Sure we can change a few things if necessary, but you still have to be you.
The jerks of this world seem to forget every time that everyone's different. Everyone has to be like him/her to even exist. It's like they're saying there's only one right way to be. Well, that doesn't work out, because the next person on his case has to tell him he has to be a certain way.
The only way to be is your way. Don't force yours on someone else. What does that do in the end? Either nothing or a false representation of the person you're shoving around.
I'm not claiming you have to be a certain way here. It's just the only thing that has to change and that's to quit complaining, because someone else doesn't live the way you do.
