Mostly anyone would be lying if they said "I don't care what people think of me." Inside you know you want to be the next person to walk down the street with hundreds of small, invisible tickets of confidence stuck up your sleeve, waiting for a chance to just burst in peoples faces. You may be disagreeing and looking at the computer like "What the hell is she on about?" But you wear 'Up to date' clothes that don't clash, make up, style your hair or even go to the extremes and name yourself "Indie" etc.
I always go through mini panic attacks. The thought of being judged and having sly comments sliding down behind my back. People say "society is the problem." No. Society is not the problem. Everyone judges people on what they appear like.
The man on the street sitting in the doorway with a blanket selling magazines, Hobo? The 15 year old girl with a baby, slut? I would highly doubt it. The man in the doorway may be posing as a "Hobo" he may be quite well off where his money is concerned. He may not even care about material goods or money. Someone mentioned something to me the other day; People who have a lot of money may pose as a "Hobo" to have a different view on life and think about the challenges people may have. The 15 year old girl with the baby? She could've been raped. Not down the deep, dark, demonic alley ways. Maybe it was by her boyfriend. She could've said no repeatedly.
I will try not to judge, saying that, when I see someones bag that just reaches to be in my clasp, I will comment on it. Not negative, - it's not like they will start to cry and hand me the bag to get the "Hideous thing" off them so I can flaunt it around. What's the point? - You may as well say something positive to make their day not only better, but it will give someone something to be happy and grateful about.
