I don't like being the same person as somebody else. Some people adore this, to the point of searching for it. Most friendships, and relationships, are based on the aim, and assumption, that the two individuals interacting hold the same values and ways of thinking. Even I pride my friendships, by saying things like, "We're the same, I love you." This is because we all feel alone and look for solidarity in our ways of perceiving the world. So yes, that is a nice feeling. But I hate feeling like people don't learn from, but rather, absorb from me. To me, it feels very - teenage high school girls' best friends buys the same prom dress, (and yes, that has happened to me). I earn for debate, and challenges, (and smart challenges, because it's hard to convince me otherwise).
There are a handful of friends I can think of, who frustrate me in our different perceptions of the world. And they are my favourite, favourite, favourite, people to talk to. We debate, and challenge each other, and don't always come to the same conclusions, but admire each other's perception. How can you learn to respect your own, if you don't let it stand against other perceptions?
Be your own person, baby.
Be.
Your.
Own.
Person.
you big,
Baby.
