here’s how natasha pierre & the great comet of 1812 can still sweep

ok i absolutely need to know what accents u all have pls reblog and tell me or comment or whatever I must know

that post i just rbed reminds me of smth i felt as a kid…wondering if its a common experience…like i was told so often not to care what other ppl thought of me and then when i felt the social consequences of that and like i was worse at socialization from my peers i was like. ok well i Do care. and i felt like caring was some sort of failing. like i wasn’t good enough at being Weird. so i isolated myself which only reinforced the issue. obv i have grown a lot since then but i just feel like the mainstream popular framing of ‘embracing weirdness’ in the 2010s as something that isn’t going to affect you socially in any way, esp to kids, was well intentioned but didn’t end up helping the issue. and i feel like now everyone is so much more open abt bullying people for being “weird” while also commercializing the concept of “weird” for profit and/or social media engagement.

and like. it’s just an extension of what kind of weirdness is socially acceptable. in what ways is it cool to be outside the norm and in what ways is it freakish

if you’re like 14 rn. please know it makes sense if you care what they think because it’s a natural impulse. but it is very important nonetheless that you stay weird because once you are not in high school anymore and you have more control of what social circles you are in you will not feel like you are constantly getting weird looks or being laughed at. at least that’s how i feel now i’m at uni.

i guess another thing i wish i knew is that if someone has made it clear they do not want to be around you it is not worth agonizing over what you did wrong. sometimes they are the asshole. i learned this the hard way; wasted a lot of time trying to win back a girl who i found out was being incredibly immature and cruel like….after we graduated. bro you are 18 not 12 please get better

idek if this makes sense or where i’m going with this. and it really is just my own experience; i’m not trying to apply this to everyone ever in the history of the world. i think i was just encouraged to be weird as a kid but i didn’t understand this split. i was like, ok so im not socially acceptable, the way i am is weird, i’m not like everyone else so i’m not going to try to connect with them. but i’m also glad i wasn’t encouraged to conform like i know a lot of people are. but the pressure to conform shows up whether you like it or not. so idrk what to say or do.

the issue with growing up in the 2000s and 2010s was like there was this really big push toward "accepting your weirdness" overall but they meant like idk wearing mismatched socks or something not being tangibly beyond the norm in any way shape or form
