There are many things that I dislike, but being expected of is one of my most passionately hated. I hate, hate, hate, hate, hate having things expected of me, because you know what? Sometimes I don’t live up to that. I’m not perfect. I don’t want to be perfect. I hate letting people down just because they think I’m one way or the other. I hate being told what I’m supposed to do because I am this, or that. Humans are alive. We think, we breathe, we interact. The chains and bonds of stereotypes are pure idiocy to conform people to, and that is what makes me extremely angry.
Girls are supposed to be one way. They’re not allowed to burp, fart, discuss bodily functions, wear guys’ clothing, pick their noses. Whatever, okay? I refuse to conform just to be like everyone else.

Hey, you know… I somehow think I can relate to you very much. When you mention having fake siblings, that makes me smile, because I too have some of them;), maybe that has to do with the fact that we’re both asians. And I like to listen to a lot of different stuff also… Though all that may see all the more pointless to you… If you ever want to contact me, you can got on my contact page, I’d really like to hear from you.

i couldn’t have said it better myself. i hate it when people expect things from me, i hate it when they expect me to be a certain way, i hate being told how to do things, and i hate being told that how i do some things is “wrong". i used to think that people aren’t like that, but i guess i was just being stupid. now i can count my real true friends on just one hand. >=Þ

You know… I dont hate it so much as I pity the people who say things like that… Its sad how close minded people get now-a-days… hey thats all thanx to our society and most of all television and stuff… that shit gets you to think one way… sooner or later TV becomes like a religion in a persons life.. if its on TV then it must be true it just has to be no questioning about it… remind you of any religions? exactlly…. i just have pity for those people becase most of the people on this planet will never in all their life time see anything more then their own two eyes. Offcoarse I hate ti also but just the ammount of stupidity neeeded to make such kinds of remarks… it cannot be achieved by itself… no.. TV and such help these people reach such a level of stupidity it just becomes enourmouslly outrages for them to think otherwise of any subject…

Yeah well. Times are changing anyhow, so once the baby boomers die out then there won’t be much complaining. Why, I piss with the door open if I want to continue a conversation with someone else in the room :]

I don’t hate that as much as you do, I don’t even know if I dislike it enough to push me to the point of hate, BUT I’m against the stereotypical closemindedness of society as you are. People can do whatever the hell they want to do, that’s part of living.

*agreed* Sometimes people expect TOO much out of others. They probably couldn’t reach such high expectations themselves.
By the way, awesome site
