I think I might have to compromise

Most people are rude to me when they first meet me and I think it's because I dress like George Constanza or Jerry Seinfeld from the Seinfeld sitcom. Polo shirts, shirts, chinos, smart-ish jackets. 

I might switch over to hoodies, jogging pants and jeans. Sometimes you just want to catch a break off people, you know? I personally believe in dressing smart but what's the point if it makes people dislike me so much?

Sigh. I really don't like how superficial society is, and how if one doesn't go along with it, people will often refuse to open doors for you. I may as well give way to them, the masses have determined fashion. I need some new social connections, you've got to be pragmatic sometimes, right?

A bit like politics. They have to kiss babies and do a certain kind of publicity campaign or they never get into office. You've got to play the game?

  • Greetings... A curious Thread, maybe. But I say, Your own happiness should come first, and this links to comfort, and health, and then confidence through strength. If You are content then that makes an impression and negative opinions do not matter. You can only best help others by being strong, and that starts by helping Youtrself. Stay away from those who insist upon negative opinions about You. ...Dress however You want...!

    Except unless it breaks the Law or a Uniform must be worn... (!) And, maybe unless this Thread is actually hinting at asking about something completely different, "Social Norms", "superficiality", or something, then, sorry... :-\

    EDIT! - I changed the word "strange" to "curious", see my next reply for slight reasons why.
