Its your own personal choice, you don't have to be like everyone else and your own personal views on how you want to live are up to you. Everyones different and has different views and perceptions on things so your never the odd man out. Being different from the mainstream crowd is what makes each one of us unique. It's ok to accept other people want to change but you don't have to change yourself. Is it really going to hurt if you decide to stay the same? Embrace your individuality instead! I dont know if that helped but i tried lol Love xXxPuNki-PiXiExXx [ xXxPuNki-PiXiExXx's advice column | Ask xXxPuNki-PiXiExXx A Question ]

Cux answered Sunday June 24 2007, 5:50 pm: I am the same way. I am totally not about materialism and that stuff. I also feel like the "odd man out", but hey, this is the way we are. Don't feel like you need to adapt to the changing world. Be yourself. Get as far in your life as YOU want to, not what society wants. As long as you lead the life you want, that's all that should matter. Good luck!
