So throughout my life I’ve tried to become a stronger (emotionally) person. I want to become an independent, fully functional person. But sometimes I feel like going against the status quo is not going well. I see people who are attractive, witty, or just “winning” sorts of people, who get away with doing whatever they want. They can be assholes, and get complimented and loved by everyone around them. “They follow the beat of their own drum” they all say. Or women want them, despite being heartbroken by truly awful dickheads all the time, but when I want a casual dating, and want to be relatively picky about who I date, all of a sudden I’m a “fuck boy” or should just give up. I don’t know, this sort of double standard is fucked up in my opinion. What do you think?
