A friend of mine has an issue with being perceived by others. She is often worried about how other people sees her. She is very conscious about the way she looked and behaved.
She always wants to be the good girl, doing what others are doing, behaving in a way they called it the social norm, so as not to attract any attention.
To me personally, living life this way is a restriction. Having to live under the eyes of others is not my way of living. I feel the best thing about being a human is the freedom to choose, to do the things that I want to do.
Living a life worrying about what other perceived me, makes me feels like being locked up in a prison. That kind of worry restricts me from being who I am. I am who I am, take it or leave it. Those who appreciate who I am will come, those who are not, get out.
There is nothing wrong following the social norm, because that makes you a “normal” human being. You’ll be classified as a “rebel”, if you are caught doing something abnormal, like speaking out or tell the truth with compassion.
I no longer want to play the “normal” human being game. Playing that game and mostly I’ll lose myself. I no longer care how other perceived me, because I am who I am.
Someone asked me this; when you are seeing somebody, is it your eyes that see it or your brain? When you talk to somebody over the phone, are you talking to the physical form or the meta physical form?
I pondered over it and I wondered, that person who perceived me in their mind, are they seeing the physical form of me, or is it their mind and reality that sees me in that way? Hmmm….I wonder…
