MisInformation

Those lacking self-esteem, individuality and courage are easily spotted by their uniforms. Am I saying that you should judge a book by it’s cover? More times than not, you can. Right or wrong, that’s just how it is.

I’ve chatted up hundreds of people for hundreds of reasons, and it always seems to come down to one thing: my assumption about who they are and why they are the way they are was accurate. They may not know it. May not believe it, but I see them from a position they cannot.

Who people are is often different than what they are showing you. Some, it’s dead on, but for the most part, you can see right through them. For instance, real go-getters don’t follow, the lead. They don’t join popular cliches, clubs, etc,. They do their own thing and, those who wish to tag along may do so. The same reason nerds don’t get accepted into sororities and fraternities are the same reason those nerds will be who they go to when in need because the nerd focus on what he/she wanted to become down the line, versus how they want to be perceived in college. The nerd becomes the doctor that delivers the eight baby for the girls who laughed in their faces and dated dumb jocks. The judge that sentences the popular idiot to life in prison was the nerd hung upside down by his feet in school. He or she didn’t fit in, so they carved their own paths to greatness instead assuming a frat or sorority would define who they are.

Modern trends are no different. Take the Goth kids, for instance. Seemingly emotional and lost. Often angry, confused and feeling lonely. They assume nobody gets them. Many believe they are destined to be alone. They close themselves off from the rest of the world, and wallow in the pity of others who also chose not to deal with their issues in any way other than social protest. It’s easier, again, to just blend right in with those who you assume are like you, rather than to go out and be yourself. I’ll explain, and i will use this example to clear up hoodlums, gang bangers, goth kids, racists, you name it.

Notice how all Goth kids dress, usually in all black attire, dark makeup (eyeliner, black lipstick, fingernail polish)? How they all look exactly the same? Well, those people are incapable of interaction with anyone outside of their comfort zone. In fact, the wardrobe speaks for them. You see someone in clown-like black makeup, black studded clothing, black fingernails and dark black hair with a hole in their nostril, you already know you are amongst your kind. No need to ask, or break the ice, or hope they understand you, you can see by how they dress that you automatically fit in. That is why most say “They get me here.” with which ever group accepts them. Can’t we all spot a pothead, skateboarder, redneck, slut, asshole and so on before they even speak? It’s the uniform.
