Lables Have Messed Me Up Beyond Recognition - Comments

Surely when you said you didn't cut people just left it alone though. And if it was your friends saying that stuff, then maybe you're better off without them anyway.

i lost some friends cause i wanted to act a certain way, which was unsucsessfull and becuase I called myself "emo" many people assumed I was a cutter and that I was searching for attention, so people started being jerks and I got mad.

Why would someone's 'label' make them not your friend anymore?

labels generally control our society, don't take it personally its just human nature. At my school I am "the hippie" I stopped taking offense because that label doesn't make me who I am, I make me who I am. You are who you are, not what society makes you out to be. Just be yourself, and don't worry about everyone else, their opinions don't matter!!!
