Emoness?
My friends ALL tell me I'm emo.
I don't dress any particular way, I wear random stuff, and nobody else I know would DARE dress like me.
I am really down a lot, and I have contemplated suicide more than once[and planned it].
I really hate people saying I'm emo, because I don't mean to. How can I stop??
Unfortunately, the other side of me is that I'm "really smart" but I'm also a complete ditz. I never get whats going on around me, because I'm so caught up in what I'm thinking.
Yet, I also have weird sensory crap going on. I am really really sensitive, and I can tell right away if something's wrong with those I'm close to, even if they're not there. I get feelings telling me to call them.
Someone HELP. I am so sick of feeling alone.
Suicide is on the table again, but I'm trying not to. PLEASE HELP!

Ok.
Well, did the suicidal thoughts start after people started calling you emo, or before?
Actually...
You're friends need to stop telling you you're emo.I think that by calling you that, they could be making things even worse.
"Emo" is a label, a label associated with depression and suicide.
I am down a lot, but suicidal thoughts for me started coming once I started getting labeled. I feel this is because I associate suicide with what people call me, and it makes me feel like suicide should be what I resort to for my problems. Whenever i pick up the knife to do it, I always back down, because I can't be sure if I'm doing it because I want to, or if I feel like I want to because of what people call me.
Suicide is not the answer. If you're thinking of doing it, try to find a reason or reasons why. If it's because you feel it's what you're supposed to do, don't do it. If you have no specific reasons why, don't do it. If you just feel like you want to do it, still don't do it.
Are you taking medication now? Maybe you should look into it.
This site really made me think about things. Maybe some messages on it will make sense to you.

I see your intelligence and senses to be a gift, use them, don't destroy them.

Your friends think you're emo and you put suicide on the table again. Way to let everyone else influence you. Sheep.
honestly, tell them to fuck off. who cares if you look emo, if you don't act like it, or don't think you are, then you aren't. Labels are stupid. Get over them, and stop self pitying yourself, it only makes you feel worse. Go do something that will take care of your insecurity and low self esteem, such as sports.
EDIT: There are other things that can help you get over your insecurity and low self esteem other than sports, that was just an example I listed. Ever try learning a musical instrument, joining a club, or writing? All of those things take dedication but if you are willing to dedicate, you'll find yourself a whole lot happier. Oh, and FYI, I know more about how you feel than you'll understand, and I've been through a deeper pit of despair then the one you're in right now.

A) Who cares what other people think? Labels are stupid.
B) Please do not commit suicide. Its a horrible way to handle things. You obviously have friends, so think about how sad they will be.

If you have friends that label you and make you feel like crap, then they're not very good friends and I think you should find people that won't judge you about things like that.
You shouldn't have to change who you are just because someone else doesn't like it. YOU like it and that's what's important.
Find people that are into some of the same things as you so you'll have something in common. The people that matter in life won't care what kind of clothes you wear or how smart you are or how ditzy you are. They'll just care that you're here.
About the suicide thing? I'm not going to tell you that I 'know exactly how you feel' but I am going to tell you that I've been there. I may not have had the same exact problems that you have, but I've contemplated it. It was like nobody understood how I was feeling and what was a huge deal to me didn't matter at all to everyone around me.
I had a plan too. I even wrote a letter. But then one of my friends surprised me and said that if I killed myself, she would kill herself too. It's like Marilyn Manson said. When you have someone who is willing to die with you, you don't want to die anymore.
Here are some hotlines you can call if you need someone to talk to:
1-800-784-2433
1-800-273-8255
1-630-482-9696
Or, if you ever need to talk, you can ask me a private question or IM or email me. I'll get back as soon as I can.
Your life is precious and even though you think that no one would care that you suddenly weren't there anymore, there's always someone that couldn't live without you.
About your comment: Emo isn't a type of hairstyle or clothing style. It stands for emotional, and you can't 'not be' that. If you try to be prep or goth or jock-ish, you'll just be a poser.
