It seems like me that in this day and age that no one really gets any respect for being themselves.
If you dress any differently, you get shit for it.
If you listen to different music than everyone else, you get shit for it.
If you have a freaking accent, you get shit for it.
What is going on? Why can no one just be themselves anymore?

This is haaarrrddddlllyyy new.
The accent thing makes me laugh though because, while I am from the STATE of NY, I do not have any of the stereotypical "city" accents, yet when I go out west I am often accused of such. It's funny.

By "differently", I'll just translate that as "whining over mere words and differing opinions".
and have a higher tollerence to things.
Yeas, some people do indeed have a higher tolerance to things. We have an adjective for such people: "strong". We also have an adjective to describe people with a lower tolerance: "weak-minded".
Seriously, people with inner strength deserve to laugh at those who don't have it. Especially when the weak-minded exhibit narcissism and false pride.

Another part is because of so-called "individuals" whose idea of "being yourself" actually means "being part of a retarded subculture". These people have given individualism a bad name. Some of the worst offenders in this category include emos, juggalos, guidos, and furries. Joining a group is not an expression of individuality. In fact, it's almost the same as joining a political party, i.e. by joining such a group you willingly take on whatever negative reputation said group may have earned for itself.

In this day and age people fake thier way into society. By lying to people, and being who they really aren't. And they do it to get accepted by others.
People who have broken out of that, and who aren't afraid to just be themselves, no matter who likes it or not. Aren't really understood, because people /just don't get/ how someone could be themselves and be okay with it.
And thus... anything in this world that isn't understood, typically, gets shit for it.
That was slightly too philosophical for 5:45am... but there ya are... that's my opinion...
