Why are 9 out of 10 people such lame wannabes?

Question

Because I really want to know.

Answer 1

everyone desires to be someone else... we all use cosmetics, to enhance us somehow.. both men and woman..

the question is... who do you wannabe?

Answer 2

What makes someone lame?  And what do they want to be?

Answer 3

I don't know. It's so sad that we can't all be as cool as you are. You're just in a ship of cool and we're all floating in a sea of lame begging you to take us with you.

Answer 4

They're too scared to go their own way.

Answer 5

Well the adverse question would be - what makes someone unique or original?

I guess it's someone who is confident enough in themselves to be who they innately are unaffected by social conditioning or judgement. They are impartial to the fear associated with being different.

So 90% of the population (according to your statistics :P) shape their persona so they are percieved to be acceptable by society.

Though this doesn't mean everyone who APPEAR to be a little bit left of field, are fearless - because uniqueness is fashionable, and to follow fashion is to conform thus uniqueness can be faked. Nor does this mean all those 'plain Jane's' out there are conformists, they may just lack the creativity or have no interest in expressing their uniqueness physically so adorn popular clothing out of convenience, though may still be original psychologically or in their way of living.

In the same sense, someone may appear to be a conformist ie. prep, jock, scene kid, and may actually not be a 'lame wannabe' because they choose this lifestyle as it is a genuine reflection of who they are.

To answer your question, 9 out of 10 people are lame wannabes because they are sh*t scared of judgment or critique so they pretend to be someone else. This someone either being a persona they believe will be deemed socially acceptable, or a persona they admire and wish to give off the impression that they are.

I probably could have narrowed it all down a bit ey ... ?

Answer 6

Well we can't all be as innately cool as you.
