Arty, I couldn't agree with you more. This old counselor we used to have stopped me in the hallway and said "You should smile. You'd actually look pretty if you smiled." I was like, "Uh, thanks..." There's nothing wrong with not smiling, especially if there's nothing to smile about. I don't have to be smiling every waking second. But yeah, if I don't, people assume that I had a bad day, or that I have a mood-off.

Same here!Im a very happy person and everybody knows that about me,so when I have a hard day people jump on me because im not smiling the way they are used to it.It can be annoying... Also Im a person who has trouble talking about her feelings,Its just easier for me to swallow the things that bother me,to shove it under the rug,and I feel its too much stuff to handle by my self,somethimes I get the feeling that Im going to pop from holding it in.but then I doo the same thing,keep it in myself and move on.It can be hard...

The thing I hate (I can't remember if I've mentioned it - sorry if I have) is that when I go quiet, people assume I'm upset or down. Sometimes I just have nothing to say...

Becky- just so you know I'm actually anti hunt,wore Greenpeace t-shirts though the whole of the 80's and ended up teaching children's right's in the workplace to health and education professionals.I've always been into women's rights and and currently researching first nation history in Pacific Northwest (nothing anyone should be proud of).
What I probably learn over all is that we're all different but we are all emotionally vulnerable to other peoples perceptions of us.Work to be happy with the skin your in- it improves the armour ;0)

Oh I agree, first nation rights all over the world are nothing to be proud about, think about how the ethic people of Taiwan forced into small tourist towns like zoo exbits and here in Canada, in reserves, stripped of land and Idenity, forced to learn english, lost of customs. I am Native and white. I was brought up white, I know nothing about my people or my customs, nor did I learn about them in school. The way we are treated is like Canada's dirty little secret

When I went on holiday to Greece most of the Greek people would come up to me and say "Are you Greeky Girl??"

Other then that I look so unmistakenly English, I hate it... I'd love to look like I have a history of mixed cultures. My friend is half Italian and half English, but she looks sooooo Italian, but she's been in England all her life, but she has such a pretty face and an interesting look.

I like the way I look because it's my heritage. As my friend Teresa (Zeitgeist Zero) sings in one of her songs 'it's not easy being strange.....we are all insecure inside'. We are all individuals and express that individuality in many glorious ways. There's a campaign started in England following the attack on a goth couple in Bacup, Lancashire. Sophie Lancaster was protecting her boyfriend Robert Matlby from a frenzy of thugs kicking him. She held him in her arms and the thugs started kicking her in the head. Both were so badly beaten they couldn't be told apart. Sophie died about a week after the attack. Her partner survived but is too frightened to leave the house and just because they dressed different. The thugs have been jailed but it won't bring Sophie back. The campaign has wrist bands that spell out S.O.P.H.I.E which stands for Stamp Out Predjudice Hatred & Intolerance Everywhere. I went to a memorial service in Whitby & met her mum. She's a beautiful, strong person who works with young offenders. She doesn't want revenge for her daughter's death, just tolerence & understanding.

Something that annoys the hell out of me is when someone invades my personal space, physically and emotionally. I live in Tennessee, a Southern state in the US, where people are notoriously friendly and personable, so many people try to become too familiar with strangers. I have horrible anxiety and a lot of times in public my hands will shake. I've had so many strangers comment on it to me, that it makes me even more paranoid than I already am ("Oh, honey, why are you so nervous?" "You should really take some B-12 for your nerves.") Lately, my physical personal space has also been invaded quite a bit. It usually happens in the post office or corner market. I'll be standing in line and someone, who has adequate space behind them, stands close enough to me that I can feel them breathing on me! One time I it startled me so much that I caught myself before I knocked the shit out of some poor unsuspecting man. I'm always super aware of my surroundings because I was held at gunpoint in a robbery when I was 19, so I tend to overreact to things most wouldn't. Plus it's just plain creepy feeling a stranger breathe on you! ICK!

Sheila, what a moving video....I wasn't aware of the sophie lancaster foundation, but now I am going to the website to help out in any way I can
I remember this happpening, and as my daughter is a goth ( or "alternative" as she prefers) I was horrified and upset about it. She and her friends are all thoughtful, caring, intelligent and loving people, as I'm sure Sophie was. Everyone has a right to be who they want to be.
