Fear of what others think is a big one.

@Nat15 a lot of times, that's what restrains me; that, and consequences of my actions.
Nat15 · F
@LadyWioness But are those consequences real or artificial ones created by society?
LadyWioness · 56-60, F
@Nat15 some are common sense. Others are societal rules.
Nat15 · F
@LadyWioness It's the common sense ones we should follow

@Nat15 okay. I myself find [i]some[/i] rules necessary. The biggest one being the golden rule. Treat others how you want to be treated.

Consequences created by society are still very real. There is nothing artificial about society's consequences.

@sarabee1995 I mean natural.... Not there just cuz a majority of the people thought they should be.

@Nat15 that's the plan. I'll be the ancient lady that runs people over in my Hover round, and backs up to be sure! 😂
