Am I just a nobody..?

Question

Everyone ask me if I'm emo.And I just tell them 'I don't think so.'

And I seriously don't know.

I used to harm myself,but I stopped a long time ago,and now the kids know me as 'the drawer' or 'that girl who doesn't smile'.

And I do smile!I'm very cheery around my (very few)friends,but they're all in a different grade,so I just stay quiet during the day,waiting to go back home.

Someone tell me,does emo stick with you or am I just a nobody?

Answer 1

Go placidly amid the noise and haste,

and remember what peace there may be in silence.

As far as possible without surrender

be on good terms with all persons.

Speak your truth quietly and clearly;

and listen to others,

even the dull and the ignorant;

they too have their story.

Avoid loud and aggressive persons,

they are vexations to the spirit.

If you compare yourself with others,

you may become vain and bitter;

for always there will be greater and lesser persons than yourself.

Enjoy your achievements as well as your plans.

Keep interested in your own career, however humble;

it is a real possession in the changing fortunes of time.

Exercise caution in your business affairs;

for the world is full of trickery.

But let this not blind you to what virtue there is;

many persons strive for high ideals;

and everywhere life is full of heroism.

Be yourself.

Especially, do not feign affection.

Neither be cynical about love;

for in the face of all aridity and disenchantment

it is as perennial as the grass.

Take kindly the counsel of the years,

gracefully surrendering the things of youth.

Nurture strength of spirit to shield you in sudden misfortune.

But do not distress yourself with dark imaginings.

Many fears are born of fatigue and loneliness.

Beyond a wholesome discipline,

be gentle with yourself.

You are a child of the universe,

no less than the trees and the stars;

you have a right to be here.

And whether or not it is clear to you,

no doubt the universe is unfolding as it should.

Therefore be at peace with God,

whatever you conceive Him to be,

and whatever your labors and aspirations,

in the noisy confusion of life keep peace with your soul.

With all its sham, drudgery, and broken dreams,

it is still a beautiful world.

Be cheerful.

Strive to be happy.

YOU are not a nobody ....

YOU were created a somebody....

Answer 2

You sound artistic. Many of the idiots I know confuse "mysterious" with "socially retarded freak". Just because you aren't a loud, obnoxious valley girl who abbreviates everything with "OMG" doesn't make you emo. I'm an introverted math geek and most people just don't get my personality type. Ignore people that you don't like. Most of them will end up working for you when you grow up.

Answer 3

Being a nobody is better than being emo. Just keep chilling out doing your own thing.

Answer 4

You are you and that is whoever you choose to be. Just because you are the individual you are makes you brave and independent. Google a short piece called Desiderata and find out that you are not a nobody. You are actually special. So focus on your strengths and develop your character in your own way. Be an individual and stand out in a crowd. Strength of character is admired by the mature - not by the immature.

Good luck and best wishes. UK
