      Eh… If I need to pretend to be something I’m not just to be “accepted” then I’ll rather not be. In most cases when people are changing their behavior to meet the expectations of others it’s actually their own imagined expectations they’re trying to meet rather than that of other people. As long as you’re not causing harm to anyone, most simply don’t care if you’re a bit weird.

      Some people dislike musicals because they are unrealistic…nobody they know just bursts into song and dance all the time.

      I think those people need to find new friends.
