I will firstly say I agree with this statement, except I think people should say what they want to say all the time. Truths only encourage progress. Yeah, it hurts, yeah it might not be what you want to hear, but ultimately we're all better for it.
Okay, so I'll say what I want to say, as requested: I hate how hard it is for me to find people to talk to - not best friends or boyfriends or anything like that - just PEOPLE with similar interests, who can joke around, but still have a social conscience. I hate that people judge me for not (excessively) drinking alcohol; I believe it's pointless and undignified. I wish people would be more honest with how they feel about me. I recently won an award which is decided by my peers; instead of being happy, I wondered, "How can so many people like me enough to vote for me when most of the time I feel like I'm trying so hard just to get them to talk to me?" People are too scared of what others think, including me sometimes, and I hate that. If being open was "normal", we wouldn't be so scared of honesty.
Congrats on your award! I think that you should see that as something really positive...your peers respect you and obviously think very highly of you. I know I myself get a lot of weird vibes from people in terms of gaining friendship, but maybe its that we're trying to hard to make people pay attention? Maybe its that others just don't know how to act...or they're just poor at making their thoughts heard. But people see your skills and talents everyday, so dont ever forget that!
