Following the rules.

[turk179]

Do you live your life following the rules of what society deems acceptable or do you follow the beat of a different drum with no fear of what the average person thinks of you. An example of this is what society deems beautiful is a skinny blonde in a fashion mag. I try to live my life independent of what society feels is normal but at times this is not an easy task. What are your views on this.

I'm too selfish to live the way I should, the way I'd like to.

When it comes to the morals:
* I dont drink
* I dont smoke
* I dont use drugs
* I dont "party"
* I've never had sex (i really dont care if it happens before marriage though)
* I dont fit any "popular" norms
* I dont care if anyone does the things I dont
* My reason for not doing certian things is this: I'm so messed up already, I dont need any help screwing up my mind any more than is it.

* I do spend lots of time reading up on religions *smiles*

I live my life based on the principles set forth in the New Testament. So, in some respects I am socially "abnormal." I don't drink, and I won't have sex until I am married, etc. As far as non-religious/non-spiritual aspects go, I usually Just kind of do what I feel like. I buy the kinds of clothes that I like, I am attracted to many types of girls, and I listen to the kind of music that appeals to me. I try not to follow the crowd like a sheep or anything like that, but it's hard to stray too far from social norms...

As a gender queer, I don't even come close to following the rules of society. You are correct, its not an easy task, but it's always a rush!

I probably have never and probably will never fit society's standards of normal, beautiful and "hip" and I've never really cared much. I'm confident in who I am...I'm loved by the people who mean the most to me in my life and spiritually, I'm very happy. So...if I'm considered a dork to society...so be it. This dork is blessed.

I follow most laws, don't need to go to jail... again. As far as society goes, I could care less about what people think of me, barring my wife. I don't like most people, find most to be false. Think their above you. So why should I care about what someone thinks when I have no value for their opinion to begin with? Most of society can kiss my...

That's basically how I lived, obviously as a Latter-day Saint, I come no where close to living like society, as a most part.

I didn't have pre-marital sex, I don't drink, I don't smoke, I don't drink coffee or tea(well only non-caffinated tea and that stuff is great! ), I've never done drugs, I don't watch R-Rated movies or anyting in movies that I consider to be immoral, I don't wear immodest clothing, I go to church every Sunday.

I guess in the view of the world, I'm just not normal.

 

[fromthe heart]

I'm just about as abnormal in the worlds standards as it gets...I'm not walking in the same world as so many people I feel almost out of place...I was always 'different' than the other kids and spent my whole life in that zone...guess when you walk with God the world doesn't matter so much and you DO notice you aren't following the 'NORM' as the world sees it.

 

[Aqualung]

I sort of do. For one, I don't dress certain ways, because it might cause other people to lust (yeah, right!). That's a somewhat a sociatal rule. Other than that, no, I don't. I don't do a lot of things people think are acceptable or popular.
