Being Different Can Be Fun, But... - Stamp — Description
Okay, so this is sorta my first "rant stamp". XD

In case you can't read it (If you can't, PLEASE tell me so I can change the font.) It says, "Being different isn't fun... ...When it means you can't find anyone to relate to."

I'm not really ranting, just sort of expressing something I've been thinking about.

This is not supposed to bash being different. I think it's a good thing to be different, I promise. ;D

AHEM, SO... Reason/whatever for this stamp is BELOW. You don't have to read it if you don't want to, but if you're planning on flaming me for some odd reason, then I suggest you read this first to make sure you have your stuff straight before doing so.

Alright, so, "Being different isn't fun... ... When it means you can't find anyone to relate to." This expresses so well how I've been thinking recently.

I have two things about me - traits I'll call them. These two traits are very rare finds in people, at least for me, and I don't really like the fact that... Well... The fact that I can't find them in people. I know it seems like a select few people might wonder, "What? Two traits? Okay, what's the big deal about them? Is it really a big enough deal to make a stamp for? There's tons of rare traits in people and they don't make a big deal about it." Yeah, well these two traits aren't just about things that I don't do/don't like, but they're about things that BOTHER me. I'm sensitive to things, and the sensitivities are the traits I'm talking about. So naturally, if everyone around me likes/does these things (which they do), it starts to bother me after a while unless I have someone who DOESN'T like/do these things to keep me sane so that I feel like I have someone by me who can understand what I'm feeling. (If you want to know what these traits are, you can ask me in the comments section because I don't want to post it in the description. (: )

My point is, I personally like these two things about myself for some reason. I don't see them as "flaws", really, just... Things I'm sensitive to. But it's not fun to be different when I'm so different that I can't find anyone that can help me and understand me and relate to me.

LUCKILY... I do have two close friends. One of them has both of these traits (even though one was partly brought on by me), and the other one has one of these traits. They're my shoulders to lean on. "Well, what's the problem? Why are you ranting about this when you have people to lean on already?" WELL... They literally live on the other side of the United States. I live in the north-east. As for my friends... One of them lives in the north-west, and the other one lives in the south-east. (I know you guys might be reading this, but I'm not giving out your names so don't worry. |P)

So even though I have people to lean on, I don't have people to... LEAN on. And something was brought to my attention today which... Bothered me. And it bothered me more than a normal person (maybe) because it had to do with one of these traits/sensitivities I was talking about. And this was about a friend of mine who lived around my neighborhood. But whether it's true or not, it made me realize that the only friends I have around my neighborhood are slowly parting from me, and one reason might be because of these traits that I have.

So with this stamp, I was just expressing how I wish I had someone around me who made me feel good just because I knew they existed. Because they would be someone who shared both of the traits that I have. Like I said, I already have two friends that can do that first thing, but because they aren't HERE, I just... Haven't been feeling as good, I guess. I want someone to relate to without having to pick up a phone. D: And I can't have that because the two traits I have are so incredibly rare, that if you EVER find someone with both traits (who you know won't "grow out of them") then you're very lucky. And if you EVER find someone with both traits IN MY CITY, then you're EXTREMELY lucky.

NOW. RANT-ISH-THING OVER.

Anyway, someone to relate to, right? Without having to pick up a phone or anything? All I have in that nature are my characters. Specifically one who makes me feel happy. :3 I think I'll make a character stamp next, because this one character of mine is my plan B when no one around me can help out with these things.

Anyway, SORRY FOR THE LONG-BUTT DESCRIPTION!
