Why do u think that people are becoming silly and superficial? i think its because of the rise and rise of the celebrity, especially people made famous through reality t.v shows, get rich quick for doing nothing. Also consumerism and the media selling us a lifestyle that we think we ought to have. By wanting these 'ideals' that are portrayed as norms, we loose sight of what is important in our lives. Health, happiness and love.

Most of the time when people try to act overly confident it's because they suffer from a low self esteem! Find out who you are and develop your own sense of style. Good luck!

Ok, this has gone on long enough now.  pmsl\n\nyou are very shallow.  Look how you have teased these poor people.  They logged in to answer questions and help people and you've made you're little joke, but you keep going!  Why?  Because you don't care about people, as you've said.\n\nJust keep playing your little tricks and try not to hit your head when you fall out of your chair laughing.  I just did that over your last question and it smarts.\n\nThanks for brightening my day btw.  :)

Ok, to an extent I think it's funny to make fun of ourselves.  It becomes annoying "if" that's all you ever do and it's always VERY negative.  That's a very unbecoming trait.  We all want to date someone who is confident in their own skin.  It is definitely a turn-off if someone is always down on themselves.  Now, that being said, you HAVE to be able to laugh at yourself, but be confident at the same time.

Self justification.  Same reason people call themselfs sexy, and they just are not.  People are generally.... dumb.

It's more like a freeworld here, girl. Some people talk sense, but lots of wierd ones also bump in with senseless remarks. All you need do is sort through the whole junk and more often than not, some good ones will be available.

B/c people think that it is funny to watch things that degrade other people or that it's funny to laugh at another person's expense.  Sure, these people are willing to make an ass out of themself, but to me, the shit is not funny!!

Now you're getting into existentialism. Don't let people make fun of you. Some of the great philosophers tried to figure out these questions and had trouble with them. People who think you're nuts are people who don't have much of an active imagination for the possibilities of life.

well you need to get off of here and thicken up your skin, and quit giving a crap what other people think.   all you sad little people that take this site as the only worth in the world are not doing yourself any good what so ever! HELLO?  REMEMBER, THIS IS A PUTER FOLKS, THESE PEOPLE ARE NOT YOUR FRIENDS, NOT EVER OR AT ALL.  NOR, WILL THEY EVER EVEN BE ASSOCIATES.  THIS IS THE VIRTUAL WORLD AND IT HAS NO IMPACT ON REALITY, UNLESS THIS IS YOUR ONLY REALITY, THEN YOU NEED SOME SERIOUS HELP.  so, turn off the shiny toy, go fix your hair, put on some make-up, and get out in the world(the real one where you live) and remember what human contact is like.

I think it is the fear of others thinking they are UN-cool, I know when I was that age, your body starts changing, you are painfully aware of your physical self, and others would make fun at anything that was "different" to them because no one wanted to stick out. For fear of getting harassed, girls where and are especially cruel about this. And for the comment made by Bianca, you obviously have no manners... duh.

lower realm people tend to take their frustrations out on the innocent, it relieves their stress and makes them feel powerful. I am a cashier so this happens daily. The important thing for to do is realize that it has nothing to do with you at all. It is their shortcomings and downright patheticness (is that a word? LOL) that causes them to do it. You are way above that. Try to find humor in it and laugh it off. Hard to do, I know. Keep your chin up!

I dont know but it drives me insane! I have this problem at school. At one point I was a little heavier than I am now and now that I lost weight people look at me differently or not at all, its a little sad and pathetic, because this goes to show how shallow people are and how judgmental they are as well! If you are struggling with this problem just think how shallow and immature these people judging you are, it helps when you are trying to get through a day!

I think you've answered your own question ... they ARE stupid! Stupid, childish, irresponsible, lonely, bored people who have discovered a sure fire way to get attention because they aren't capable of doing anything truly WORTHY of attention, so they accept whatever they can get.

You're not alone.\nI absolutely understand what you're saying as I'm going through it myself... =( I used to be naive & gullible only to have it blow up in my face.\nI tried changing to adapt as to how people would like me to be... but it wasn't easy & a losing battle at the end.\nFor every person you try to please there's gonna be tons more that don't like you for the same reason. After a while it got tired & I stopped, stayed true to myself & adopt a like me/ hate me attitude. To me it's their loss rather than mine.

People are immature. Joke about it. Say "Yea. Ok. I am. What's it to you?" And smile. Sarcasm kills. ;) Don't let stupid people get to you!
