I Want Others to Accept Me For Who I Am

The longest uphill battle I have ever fought and continue to fight. I'm not going to be fake and if you don't like me then I suggest you move on to someone else because I really don't have time to cater to someone who can't accept others at they are. I don't fit social norms in many areas and have struggled to connect with most people because of it. I have no interest in celebrities, fame, fashion, being popular and so on. I am accepting and non-judgmental but have come to find the world is not like this. So I continue to fight and find the few that are accepting to create lasting friendships, relationships, and find my place in life.

Something I learned a long time ago. Always be myself. If people want to accept me as I am and be around me, great. If not, their choice and fine with me.
Just keep being real, being you. Those who are meant to be in your life, will be.

Why do you need anyone to accept you?

@AnimatronicLick Feels nice to be accepted as you are and be yourself.

@Timelessdays Have you ever tried being yourself and not giving a fuck what others think?

I could do that but then I wouldn't be myself. Its not a bad thing to care what others think or feel. You have to find a balance in it and when you do it is an amazing and powerful thing. I work in the ER because I care. because I have compassion and want to help others in their time of need. I stop and help people on the side of the road, paid for food to feed those who go without, gave money when I had it to spare and I don't regret any of it. I understand what you are trying to say but in all honesty, I rather struggle to find those who accept me then close my heart and not care.
