I am very bored, so i will start this eye-opening discussion for you guys to share your methods of fitting in into real life. I conceal my depression with a smile when i go outside. I reckon if you dont say much, they wont ask much. Pretty solid method until you actually talk to someone interesting. By then my depression fades for a brief conversation and my smile is actually real. When he tells me hes not gay i get hurt and my depression sets in again. Poor guy, i wasnt even hitting on him.
Oh lol. I rarely smile. Especially outside. People would always think that I'm an angry serial killer when in fact it's just my resting bitch face <_<
I am gonna be serious for once.I never(almost)ever express anger.No matter how angry I am,I always maintain a smile that is as fake as it gets.This really helps you take part in conversations that you cannot avoid.And also...I never joke.I know my strengths.
make a persona totally different with my daily life personality when alone / with family.... p.s still waiting for velvet room to come to my subconscious dream
I have this expressionless face whenever I am outside, my friend says that I would likely not change expressions when someone died right in front of me. I gave up blending since everyone outside looks fake.
You can blend into society by not being too honest I only ever blend in in certain ways at certain times. Other times, me sticking out is too much of an integral part of me that I just let it go. I've had an issue of standing out naturally since I was a kid, and those teenage years were when I wanted to blend in the most, and even then I think I failed.
You're that poor guy who got rejected by girls right? Still haven't considered taking the *cough* untrodden path?
Act like one of them, but carefully observe your interactions like you're in third person. Simple but complicated for most, right?
I already given him an advice on that thread saying that if he couldn't get any girls, then go for boys
morning coffee helps. and a shower. fresh nice smelling clothes. respond when someone addressing me. eat something sweet. avoid direct sunlight. thats it i think.
Blending in has a connotation of decpetion. I don't like to trick myself or others that i'm one of them. If I like someone and want to be friends with them then i'll do it.
Don;t worry no matter how fucked up you may be you can always find someone as screwed up as you are, its all about finding the right friends. Find people who get what you say/do, and support you. Dont just give up making friends because one dude was a bit of a dick. Personally my best friend and I became friends when we insulted each other, having never seen each other before. Now today, we still do that but we are friends! Just keep trying, it will get better eventually.
I absolutetly can't start conversations except with good friend so I am often just awkwardly quiet. But if the other person starts it I can pretty much get along with everybody so I have generally positive relations to people which is nice. Also an important thing I've learnt is that simply listening and letting the other person talk can help alot, so mostly staying quiet isn't always bad^^
