Different
Different
I just find this picture really funny, growing up in Singapore, we do our best to 'fit in' try not to stand out too much is what we were told. People frown at 'different-ness' It was a nice change when I went to Canada and society accepts people who are different and unique... How two cultures are different !
Its funny also how I am different in different groups of people. I do not have multiple personality disorder but I just react differently in different groups of friends. I speak differently, I behave differently, I party differently maybe I even laugh differently !
Maybe because I grew up with different cliques of friends. Secondary School bunch, AIESEC bunch, CJ Bunch, University Bunch, AC Boys, people from work, my clients, my family, my closer friends. And even within the groups themselves, they see me differently. Some know me better, some understand my philosophy better, some know my goals and dreams and some are friends that you don't see very often. And maybe as a result, i behave differently in my different groups of friends.
You might not believe it, some people know me as a quiet person. Ha Ha Ha.
There is a little discomfort in knowing that I behave differently among my friends. Its funny how when I am introduced to new friends in AIESEC or Work or School. I am more than happy but when new friends intrudes on a close friends gathering. Its strange and I totally detest it. I like to keep my close friends in a close tight circle, the original few, nothing more, nothing less. Gossips dont get out, opinions and views are kept within the circle, we get to tease each other about the many strange, embarassed moments that has happened to us over the years.
Ha Ha Ha, out of boredom, I created this test, how well do you know me ?
take the quiz !
Since I am on the topic of DIFFERENT. Here's my favourite quote on originality.
“All good things which exist are the fruits of originality.”
John Stuart Mill quotes (English exponent of Utilitarianism, ethical theorist, Philosopher, Economist and Logician. 1806-1873)
