You don’t gotta get high on drugs to be comfortable with your own weird vibe.
It helps though.
I mean… yeah.
The absolute joy of doing something just because you want to, is unbeatable
Absolutely. I hate having to justify everything I do. Sometimes I just want to do something for the fun of it.
Sometimes I care about other opinion
Being yourself around everyone is easier said than done, but the more you can do it, the happier you will be. Getting older naturally makes it easier for most people. That’s part of the reason older people are happier.
I went to a renaissance faire recently with some friends. We dressed up, drank booze, watched a few “shows”, and wandered around – it was a blast.
It’s something I would have been mortified to admit to doing in my teens or 20s.
We dressed up, drank booze…
I’ve never quite understood the appeal of ren faires, mainly because I’m frugal and I always felt like there wasn’t much to do except buy stuff. Reading your comment, I think there might be a key step or two that I overlooked.
It also helps to go to a larger one that also caters to adults. Some of the shows we went to were clearly not for kids.
Frankly, I don’t need to worry about ren faires at this point; I’m going to get plenty of that sort of entertainment going to Dragon Con instead.
Does this happen? I think I’ve only experienced something close to this in high school, but never as an adult. Normally, people around me are either supportive or indifferent about someone learning new skills.
A disturbing percentage of people never outgrow highschool.
Yes, it does, especially when it’s something people think is weird. I am a guy in my 20’s and recently started learning to knit and I still have people telling me not to do it because it’s weird. You just have to do what you want to do and give 0 fucks about what others think
I think a lot of people use this as a way to start a conversation about what the person is doing and don’t think to ask it in a less confrontational way. Some people can’t handle seeing someone doing something that they thought they can’t or shouldn’t do. Most people don’t care or see another person doing what they please and respect that.
