Been wearing a military grade gas mask the whole time up until New Years and all through 2020 too. I don’t depend on the stupid government and big medical authorities to feed me news and tell me what I should do. I study biology and chemistry myself and arrived to my own conclusions with the help of science teachers and actual doctors. Unlike stupid Fauci. Which led me to conclude a gas mask was the only appropriate option. I’m not a Simp who cares what the public thinks about me. I wore my CBRN gas mask no problem. Despite a handful of my family members dying. 6 funerals. Based on my research and understanding of chemistry and biology, I deemed the moderna V the best option and the safest one. Took it. Still have my G Mask just in case. So far so good
I’ve stood out many times particularly when I’m passionate about things and it’s been spoken from the heart ❤️. Trouble is, it has caused me many problems. I was liked and now hated by many! Honesty has its consequences! Plus people tend not to believe what you say and prefer lies of others instead! I know it may seem I’m justifying myself but it happens.
And introverts in their own manner have a heightened receptiveness to this instinct, hence the isolation. This is true of myself and it feels so natural to want to be alone and left alone. Didn't notice the difference before the lockdowns, I kinda enjoy them in my own way because it gives me an abundance of time to myself allowing me to do things I want to completely without social pressure. Plus, after being alone for so long entering social situations becomes positively stimulating even tho it's stressful. Having this balance if you can call it that is vastly more enjoyable than what school was.
I am similar as an Introvert switch, I started tilting towards extrovert slightly, out of wanting to expand my own limits. I think the real issue here, is that the assumption seems to be that there is the assumption that something is inherently wrong with being more introverted, or laid back. It almost seems like extroverts expect every person to be an extrovert, which is very awkward for an introvert, or even someone who, you know, has a little thing called free will. Not everyone builds on their skillets because they want to stand out.
Do you think being Introverts is cool ? It suits only to teenagers hitting puberty... When u grow up, u have to become a part of the community. Also u lot will never be a leader to any organization ... Good luck being a 🐑.
@@forefatherofmankind3305it’s ironic that you think this, it only proves how closed minded you are which is indicative of the weak follower you are trying to convince these people they are.

When I was younger I loved to standout as I got a lot of attention but over the years I’ve learned to blend better as when you stand out a lot of bad may come your way wether you like it or not.
@sean tellier the question is, what comes from the divide that we have been sucked into by our media? Granted, politics have always sucked, but how do we know that any of us are on the right side?
@sean tellier That's why America did so poorly handling Covid as compared to several other countries with far less resources but better gov management and public cooperation. The wide spread transmissions and deaths was a failure of not only the Trump administration but it's people as well.

I guess this why I was always the easy target! (That’s not intended as a self pitying statement, I just find it very interesting and always asked myself why I was disproportionately psychologically blamed/bullied in my employment. I have a learning disability and although I reached to a high level, I generally wasn’t liked by the “herd”). Now I’m self employed and I’ve never been happier.

You also have the option to take your responsibilities, destroy the radar, surface to air missile systems and fighter jets, then you can fly wherever you want for the rest of your life.
I have always tried to go against my introversion, when I stopped and let my introverted side forward. My life changed my depression got better, I feel more authentic. If the herd you are in, doesn’t accept you, for who you are. You will loose your identity, by adapting to them. Be yourself!
Think people need to stop caring what others think and go Have fun, be open, willing to put yourself out there and have the best life you can have. No one is going to do that for you. So, do it yourself. As a person that has always stood out in a crowd (6’ tall, redhead and a female and bubbly) that’s what I have learned and I’m enjoying my best life ever. Be an individual..don’t follow the crowd. You’ll be happier that way.
And yet life only exists outside of that “safe” circle, those who sacrifice life for the safety and security to avoid death only move closer to death.. those who risk.. those who dance with death.. they find eternal life beyond birth and death… such is the paradox of life…
Your comment is interesting and sounds like it has biblical roots. Can you explain this more clearly? What did you mean by "Those who sacrifice life for the safety and security to avoid death only move closer to death." What is (life) in this statement? For most people life is defined as being physically alive.
@@Bolgavets I suppose life could synonymously be defined as consciousness or “spirit”… the beingness.. not the body.. nor the intellect.. but the being… unfortunately the vast majority of humanity is in a kind of waking sleep..that sounds a very strange thing to say but we are in a kind of waking dream that we are somehow not aware of.. for if we were aware we would cease to dream… we would be absolutely present to the moment.. present to life.. but we are not, we are not aware of ourselves as consciousness, we take ourselves to be the body and the mind.. between these two accumulations an entity is formed which we will call the ego.. this ego believes itself to be a separate entity from the rest of existence.. this is delusion.. and I suppose it is this delusion this deep routed fear born of the ego of its own annihilation that is the driving motivator for people to remain in the crowd.. to avoid being exposed.. to be naked.. to be truly ourselves..we would rather play it safe and let others decide who we should be… it is more comfortable in the short term…but for someone who either intentionally or not has had gnosis..bodhi.. satori.. awakening or whatever name you wish to ascribe to that experience that has happened to human beings throughout all ages then this is unacceptable.. such a one will risk it all.. because they know deep down that it’s just a game and death is not the end but a cosmic joke.. they will move in this world as a wave moves on an ocean..thats what life is.. it is an ocean of consciousness an ocean of energy permeating every atom of creation… at least for those who have eyes to see.. words can go on ad nauseam and we can still not move an inch closer to understanding.. but in words it can summed as “be still and know that I am god”…
@@matthewbellis8620 Interesting reply that goes into great depth. I agree with you with the point that people avoid stepping out of the crowd to be themselves out of fear of retaliation. Personally for me, its a fear of feeling anxiety from rejection, criticism , ect for stepping out to express myself honestly in public. I get momentary comfort by staying in the crowd but then regret later and have disapointment at my weakness for not having the strength to be myself. I try to think that the worst that can happen to me is death (which is unlikely) and once I have accepted that and learned to not fear it, I can be free. I have come to the same conclusion that I dont want to let others decide who I should be. It serves other people, not me, to do so because it places me in a comfortable, labeled box for them. However with my Christian belief, I dont believe that bodhi or satori are identical to being reborn in Christ. The biggest difference is that the Holy Spirit lives in those who are baptized by the Holy Spirit and have made a covenant with Jesus Christ.
That’s why I’m reluctant to get promoted. The higher rank you are the bigger target you are for scrutiny, stress, and potential termination if you don’t happen to make any mistakes.

Everyone’s goal is to feel confident enough to be who they are. To not need others. To feel like they can be themselves. The problem is, most people aren’t like that, so they try to put others down.
All humans share 99.99999999999999 percent of the same DNA. We are wayyyyyyy more the same than different. We are just so attuned to our differences that we think they are way bigger than they actually are.
I’ve noticed most human beings are insecure and it puts me off them. Especially people who have a false sense of self worth based on their profession or talent. You take that away and they are a shell of a human….most people try and impress others with flash cars and to me it exposes how insecure they are
I was afraid to stand out because for entirety of my life has been served to me that I have to do things that are widely socially accepted, even speak in same manner. When I realized that people are doing things that they THINK it is very good for them and I could already see that there is literally no meaningful reason why they do it, I was absolutely and completely ready to not care at all about social acceptance. Best decision I ever made.
This reminds me of every NBA player that’s paying $200,000 a month in child support LOL this is what he means by staying invisible From predators in that area 🤦♂️🤦♂️🤪
Yep, disgusting that women are allowed and encouraged to do this by a corrupt, gynocentric judicial system. Take away the monetary incentive and watch how quickly it changes.
There is a predator which a human herd doesn't protect you from. It is a bully. He operates in the herd and the herds smiles and flatters him as he picks apart his prey. I don't understand this. But I have felt it.
I think this applies really well for bullying in schools. I know it is hard to digest, but in my opinion the one who is bullied is (not always though!) the reason why the bullying is happening exactly for him/her/etc. Why? Because the bullied ones stand out from the mass, which make them noticeable and therefore easy targets for the bullies (=hunters). Our modern society tells us to be who we are and to be proud of it. This is great but it unfortunately too often comes with consequences. If you want to better your chances to have a "normal" bully-free life, don't stand out - blend in the mass. At least when you are still young. Protect yourself, because the real world can be cruel and harsh.
Risk is all about standing out from the herd. Most people are scared to be different. Our lower nature is like animals. Our higher nature wants to shine and express itself in unique ways. You might get attacked, but at least you will be remembered for standing out. Fear is costly, it causes dreams to die and causes people to live unfulfilled lives.
I don't think anyone is an NPC. Everyone is necessary to play their role for us to even have the things we have, that is why wage gaps are demeaning and undermine the very notion of Society itself. If people want their Starbucks or their Walmarts, why would we value a single Human who signs papers as being more valuable than the totality of staff that is required to actually operate an entire business.
@@kinginblack1120 Most are NPC's working dull jobs. This is how society always has worked and will work. Most people don't want to stand out, but fit in and being this comfortable comes with an huge price tag. Becoming successful means to stand out in your doing and thinking. If you want success, you either camouflage with the herd and do things in life very differently or you do things differently and FIGHT. If you choose to fight, you will most probably kneel to mediocre people some day, as some of mediocre people will do everything to bring you down.
@@kinginblack1120 NPCs are 100% real. The whole meme started after a study found that a huge portion of people don't have an inner monologue. They just simply react to the world and never truly question things.

Our twin fears: conformity and uniformity. Your light tempts moths and your warmth attracts parasites. Fly low, fly slow, and don't get swatted? There are times to stay hidden and there are times to come out.
So true when talking about the "herd". Not all of us desire that. Some of us are fine with being out there and watching out for lions... The rest are just sheep. And there's nothing wrong with that. 95% of us need to be sheep. And we need some pigs and dogs in the mix... And the occasional wolf...
he just spoke about me. knew the strategy early on the advantage of being invisible. grew up from a family of 6. my father was a workaholic but a volatile man. he drinks every night as a supressant. when you grew up from that family, you tend to develop this unconscious ability to not be seen or you get lashed at. when you try to be a golden child and want to be seen, expectations to excel heavily falls on your shoulder. thats bad personality if you want peace of mind. we were never short of money growing up but we were not that affluent either. but as youngters we always work at our small family business but it never develop in me the wanting and ambition to earn money. instead, it creates a desire for peace becayse even though we earned, we were not happy. it was chaotic and all i wanted as a child was to be left alone and to have my own time. now as an adult, i dont do work. never been motivated by that.
All the way down in South Africa n I watch so much Jordan Peterson. I struggle with content of this video. As a black man to get respect in my industry you must stand out. I have to be a better sound engineer n technician .
Yeah I am a musician and yeah I can agree with you in this respect, I have to work harder than the rest to get noticed and stand out so I can get extra gigs/ recording sessions etc, BUT, I have also noticed the more i stand out I can also receive more criticism, so for me it tends to enhance opportunities as well as having a negative edge, trick is to just get on with it and ignore the haters.
I used to get treated like a junior technician at all my gigs until I started strapping my old event pass collections(VIP tags,all access,crew pass from some of the biggest gigs I worked). So before I even say anything my tags hanging on my bag speak for me, it tells all other event technical staff(sound crew,riggers,AV etc) that iv been around and probably know what I'm doing. So I'm finding ways to speak up without saying a word... I usually have to supervise event crew so I have to be very stern or the disrespect will go unstopped and work will go slower.
This explains why it has been so easy for the government to take away your rights. People don’t want happiness. Despite our founding documents expressing “pursuit of happiness” most don’t pursue it. Most become satisfied with a government hand out, and don’t want to risk losing it. Hard working people are becoming less and less the “normal” people.
I usually prefer to watch Peterson in person but this was a nice & skillful visualization of his words, thank you! Also kudos for including the original source.
I knew a long long time ago i cannot be a part of the herd but 120% wanted to be invisible. So how can i remain invisible like the dark knight and dont stand out like the dark knight. (I always used batman for the reference, here JP used zebra) The answer is Dont do things in life that make you miserable for e.g- a job you dont like amongst the herd or be in a relationship with friends or GF/BF u dont like. How to be invisible: Do what you like, be a part of people' group you want to be part of do the work you want to do, be self employed if you have to. I found the meaning of this statement. AND it was NOT easy to find it.
Maybe. Though, presenting it also draws everyone's mind to a single topic. I think of that one kid who recently had to defend himself at a protest by killing his attackers with his open-carry rifle. It can possibly attract more trouble than it repels, when considering only the effect of presenting it at all times. Not all attackers are looking for prey. Some of them are looking to challenge the person holding the biggest stick, and it is a beacon for those types, to know where such a challenge can be found.
@@OutyMan My research into open vs concealed carry has convinced me open carry is more advantageous. Twenty-five years of daily open carry has proved it to be so for me personally.
Shout out to all my extroverted, bold and daring people out there ! Let's charge at life head on. No matter how difficult things are, remember that we are the men for the job, we're not looking for security, we're looking for thrill. We are the adventurers of this world !
This kind of conflicts with some extroverts who seem to need attention -'I want to be loved'? Teenage gang culture insecurities do seem to follow the zebra instincts in that the clothing, shoes, tattoos, language etc. are similar. Male young men are high on the list as victims of violent crime...
They seek attention by bleeting the loudest like the most sheepest of sheep though, not by being a true "black" sheep. Even the so-called rebels aren't really rebelling - they are merely seeking to fit into a different herd. The squares and the cool kids, both groups are herds.
@Joe H No sir, not everyone who seeks attention is a narcissist. That word is getting diluted and tosses around willy nilly these days to describe anyone with an ego (which means everyone.) There is a lesson to be learned from the myth of Narcissis, and it's not about other people.
I like the way you presented it this way it's easier for people to visualize JP speeches because it's full of info and please try to explain the big picture because I sometimes find it so difficult to understand. thanks
Don’t be delusional thinking that way...using terms as climb my way to the top..as a 1% now you serve the people which means you must leave the arrogance behind and everything inside, make those around you comfortable and make them smile, learn that you can be here today and gone tomorrow, we often times get lost in our mind and forget and this leads us to do many selfish things. Just relax and live life the right way, don’t get tired of being good..they don’t work for you, your all a team regardless of the position that’s how I have always seen it and followed through the years.
I'm weird in the sense that I'm usually alone, I stay to myself, and I do a lot thinking. But at the same time I stand out like a foreign car at a CHEVROLET dealership. Because of my bold walk, my stylish clothes, my long dreadlocks, and accessories. But to add to matters I give off a energy that I'm aggressive, and I will fight you if you mess with me.
Excellent explanation. In humans, some want to standout ....When, things breakdown as in riots and civil unrest... go after the stand outs. I grew up and lived among dangerous people but did my best not to stand out and never liked being around people that did. Now, I know why. I am 88 yo, had a very good conventional life... worked for me.

He says to "keep your stripes on so the lions don't get you", meaning not standing out has advantages. Though he's also an advocate of speaking up when something is wrong, which means standing out. Both sides have merits. How do you balance between the two?
@@MalhaIIa But out of those 8 billion people, some openly agree with Peterson and some openly disagree. They have arguments with one another about it. How does that make sense in the context of people wanting not to be seen, not to stick out? It doesn't, because it makes them less safe. Arguments with people can lead to terrible things.
Wish I had been taught this by my family many moons ago ... was too much myself and paying the price. Am now going to design some non-indelibility characteristics to difuse notice whilst retaining personal values !! Thank you for this.
He is spot on here..Because the majority are seeking to avoid pain than chase accomplishment, politicians also devise policies to cater for majority, which is centeted around ensuring the population does not fail rather than promoting success for its people.

That's crazy. No matter what I do, people I don't know always tend to herd around me. I've always noticed that. I try to keep my distance, but here they come! I've have many great examples over the years.
On my first day in the army, my conscious thought was exactly along the lines of what Peterson was saying. I determined to keep my mouth shut and keep as low profile as possible- and it almost worked. The two fights that I was in blew my cover.
I was an enlisted army soldier 10 years ago. Unlike you, I did my best to not fit in (whenever I felt I could pull it off). Whenever I felt I couldn't pull it off, I would just play along for the time being. But in the back of my mind, I was just dying to jump out of the herd mentality. My life is unnecessarily hard today, because I just will not conform to normal human society. It's to the point now where if you paid me a billion dollars, I still wouldn't conform.
We live in a society that tells us to be different, then ridicules you when you are.
Hypocrisy is too much.
Yes it tells us to be diffrent to get attention, but when you are diffrent. You then get bullied, so you want to be more same to not get as much attention or get your mood so much down anymore.
The only people telling you to be different are those trying to sell you something different.
Why they want to sell you something different, you ask. Because tons of other people are already selling you the mundane stuff and competition is fierce.
So you buy the widget and become different. Either you get killed by the lions or you become successful and get tons of attention. People mimic you and buy that same widget. That's the definition of fashion/influencer. Why people feel the need to follow fashion? Because they want camuflage against the herd.

I’m a Republican survivalist prepper In training. My contacts in China told me about the virus in November 2019, 4 months before the stupid and slow public news outlets brought it to public awareness. Been wearing a military grade gas mask the whole time up until New Years and all through 2020 too.
I don’t depend on the stupid government and big medical authorities to feed me news and tell me what I should do.
I study biology and chemistry myself and arrived to my own conclusions with the help of science teachers and actual doctors.
Unlike stupid Fauci.
Which led me to conclude a gas mask was the only appropriate option.
I’m not a Simp who cares what the public thinks about me. I wore my CBRN gas mask no problem.
Despite a handful of my family members dying. 6 funerals.

It's no measure of health to be well adjusted to a profoundly sick society" - J. Krishnamurti
I’ve stood out many times particularly when I’m passionate about things and it’s been spoken from the heart ❤️. Trouble is, it has caused me many problems. I was liked and now hated by many! Honesty has its consequences! Plus people tend not to believe what you say and prefer lies of others instead! I know it may seem I’m justifying myself but it happens.
And introverts in their own manner have a heightened receptiveness to this instinct, hence the isolation. This is true of myself and it feels so natural to want to be alone and left alone. Didn't notice the difference before the lockdowns, I kinda enjoy them in my own way because it gives me an abundance of time to myself allowing me to do things I want to completely without social pressure. Plus, after being alone for so long entering social situations becomes positively stimulating even tho it's stressful. Having this balance if you can call it that is vastly more enjoyable than what school was.
I am similar as an Introvert switch, I started tilting towards extrovert slightly, out of wanting to expand my own limits. I think the real issue here, is that the assumption seems to be that there is the assumption that something is inherently wrong with being more introverted, or laid back. It almost seems like extroverts expect every person to be an extrovert, which is very awkward for an introvert, or even someone who, you know, has a little thing called free will.
Not everyone builds on their skillets because they want to stand out.
Do you think being Introverts is cool ?

And yet life only exists outside of that “safe” circle, those who sacrifice life for the safety and security to avoid death only move closer to death.. those who risk.. those who dance with death.. they find eternal life beyond birth and death… such is the paradox of life…
Your comment is interesting and sounds like it has biblical roots. Can you explain this more clearly? What did you mean by "Those who sacrifice life for the safety and security to avoid death only move closer to death."

@@matthewbellis8620 Interesting reply that goes into great depth. I agree with you with the point that people avoid stepping out of the crowd to be themselves out of fear of retaliation. Personally for me, its a fear of feeling anxiety from rejection, criticism , ect for stepping out to express myself honestly in public. I get momentary comfort by staying in the crowd but then regret later and have disapointment at my weakness for not having the strength to be myself. I try to think that the worst that can happen to me is death (which is unlikely) and once I have accepted that and learned to not fear it, I can be free.
I have come to the same conclusion that I dont want to let others decide who I should be. It serves other people, not me, to do so because it places me in a comfortable, labeled box for them.
However with my Christian belief, I dont believe that bodhi or satori are identical to being reborn in Christ. The biggest difference is that the Holy Spirit lives in those who are baptized by the Holy Spirit and have made a covenant with Jesus Christ.

Like the old saying - everybody wants to be normal but nobody wants to be average.
I was afraid to stand out because for entirety of my life has been served to me that I have to do things that are widely socially accepted, even speak in same manner. When I realized that people are doing things that they THINK it is very good for them and I could already see that there is literally no meaningful reason why they do it, I was absolutely and completely ready to not care at all about social acceptance.

There is a predator which a human herd doesn't protect you from. It is a bully. He operates in the herd and the herds smiles and flatters him as he picks apart his prey. I don't understand this. But I have felt it.
I wonder where I can get some more info about this? Are there any references to this study?
I think this applies really well for bullying in schools. I know it is hard to digest, but in my opinion the one who is bullied is (not always though!) the reason why the bullying is happening exactly for him/her/etc. Why? Because the bullied ones stand out from the mass, which make them noticeable and therefore easy targets for the bullies (=hunters). Our modern society tells us to be who we are and to be proud of it. This is great but it unfortunately too often comes with consequences. If you want to better your chances to have a "normal" bully-free life, don't stand out - blend in the mass. At least when you are still young. Protect yourself, because the real world can be cruel and harsh.
Great video, it explains perfectly well to me why people are afraid to stand out.
You can't just live hiding away forever though, there must be times to stand out, and you're mind and body intuitively know these times.
I don’t think the mind and body know
If you stand out so be it. Just try to be as prepared as possible for the lions. I wasn't when I was younger, now I am and it feels good.
Risk is all about standing out from the herd. Most people are scared to be different. Our lower nature is like animals. Our higher nature wants to shine and express itself in unique ways. You might get attacked, but at least you will be remembered for standing out. Fear is costly, it causes dreams to die and causes people to live unfulfilled lives.

knew the strategy early on the advantage of being invisible.
grew up from a family of 6. my father was a workaholic but a volatile man. he drinks every night as a supressant.
when you grew up from that family, you tend to develop this unconscious ability to not be seen or you get lashed at.
when you try to be a golden child and want to be seen, expectations to excel heavily falls on your shoulder. thats bad personality if you want peace of mind.
we were never short of money growing up but we were not that affluent either. but as youngters we always work at our small family business but it never develop in me the wanting and ambition to earn money. instead, it creates a desire for peace becayse even though we earned, we were not happy. it was chaotic and all i wanted as a child was to be left alone and to have my own time.
now as an adult, i dont do work. never been motivated by that.

All the way down in South Africa n I watch so much Jordan Peterson. I struggle with content of this video. As a black man to get respect in my industry you must stand out. I have to be a better sound engineer n technician .
Nothing is absolute, this applies generally, not in all cases Sir, do you and stay true
Yeah I am a musician and yeah I can agree with you in this respect, I have to work harder than the rest to get noticed and stand out so I can get extra gigs/ recording sessions etc,
BUT, I have also noticed the more i stand out I can also receive more criticism, so for me it tends to enhance opportunities as well as having a negative edge, trick is to just get on with it and ignore the haters.
Then your the bait! And you'll have to work harder to stay safe.
I used to get treated like a junior technician at all my gigs until I started strapping my old event pass collections(VIP tags,all access,crew pass from some of the biggest gigs I worked). So before I even say anything my tags hanging on my bag speak for me, it tells all other event technical staff(sound crew,riggers,AV etc) that iv been around and probably know what I'm doing. So I'm finding ways to speak up without saying a word... I usually have to supervise event crew so I have to be very stern or the disrespect will go unstopped and work will go slower.

This explains why it has been so easy for the government to take away your rights. People don’t want happiness. Despite our founding documents expressing “pursuit of happiness” most don’t pursue it. Most become satisfied with a government hand out, and don’t want to risk losing it. Hard working people are becoming less and less the “normal” people.

I knew a long long time ago i cannot be a part of the herd but 120% wanted to be invisible. So how can i remain invisible like the dark knight and dont stand out like the dark knight. (I always used batman for the reference, here JP used zebra)
The answer is
Dont do things in life that make you miserable for e.g- a job you dont like amongst the herd or be in a relationship with friends or GF/BF u dont like.
How to be invisible:
Do what you like, be a part of people' group you want to be part of do the work you want to do, be self employed if you have to.
I found the meaning of this statement.

Very sensible.
I always stand out due to the fact I always Open Carry. This actually keeps the predators looking for easier prey in the herd.
Maybe. Though, presenting it also draws everyone's mind to a single topic. I think of that one kid who recently had to defend himself at a protest by killing his attackers with his open-carry rifle. It can possibly attract more trouble than it repels, when considering only the effect of presenting it at all times. Not all attackers are looking for prey. Some of them are looking to challenge the person holding the biggest stick, and it is a beacon for those types, to know where such a challenge can be found.

Doc Peterson stepped at the edge of the herd and challenging the lion- “Come an get me, I’m the best lion-sausage maker you can find!”
This was the note taker I needed for class ..🖊
Wow, this is so impressive!
That's crazy. No matter what I do, people I don't know always tend to herd around me. I've always noticed that. I try to keep my distance, but here they come! I've have many great examples over the years.
Excellent explanation of human behaviour 🤓👏🏼
I love being different, I always have.
On my first day in the army, my conscious thought was exactly along the lines of what Peterson was saying. I determined to keep my mouth shut and keep as low profile as possible- and it almost worked. The two fights that I was in blew my cover.
I was an enlisted army soldier 10 years ago. Unlike you, I did my best to not fit in (whenever I felt I could pull it off).
Whenever I felt I couldn't pull it off, I would just play along for the time being. But in the back of my mind, I was just dying to jump out of the herd mentality.
My life is unnecessarily hard today, because I just will not conform to normal human society.
It's to the point now where if you paid me a billion dollars, I still wouldn't conform.
I think my problem is that I just don't value human ideas very much. I'm not impressed by homo sapiens enough for me to want to be one of them.
This is so crazy in how it makes so much sense.
