School and other stresses.
13 years ago
So yeah, for people that don't know, which likely won't be anyone that reads this when it's posted, I'm in college. I'm working toward becoming a research psychologist. Last week was midterms and that was a lot of work, I still have a couple assignments to take care of before the end of this next week.
In other news, I'm working on a fursuit once a week, I'm going to try to post updates about it, but I don't have a very good camera. I like how it's coming along, but progress is slow.
My mate and I will be heading to Cali in about 2 1/2 months. But more on that as it gets closer to the end of November.
The last thing I want to mention here is that I'm finding that I tend to feel uncomfortable around people of common interests because I tend to fall into a smaller group within it. For example, I'm a very liberal Christian relative to most Christians I'm around. But I'm a very conservative homosexual relative to most homosexuals I'm around. This makes it hard for me to be able to be who I am inside. I have to bite my tongue a lot in conversations. I also have very strong, specific beliefs about many controversial topics, and when you get a group that is generally one political party or the other, they have a tenancy to bash entire concepts or groups when they feel everyone around them agrees.
Would it be better to stand up for what I think, and not care what people around me think, or should I try to look past it to have more friends? I don't want to be the person no one wants to be around because I'll push my beliefs onto them, but I feel like everyone already does that to me.
I hope time will solve these issues.
