People not minding their own business, rant warning

Baaaaah humbug to happiness, they are hiding something! Thanks for the best response, and thanks for letting me rant too!

Your welcome, sometimes we need to let of some steam. I think your on to something, when guessing that people are hiding something. One possibility is that people tend to not tell others of their problems/struggles or show any signs of having a tought time. Majbe showing that you have a tought time means showing weakness, and people dont like to show weakness. It could also have to do with the Law of Jante, that people feel that they must uphold a mask or a front because of that. Yea, its good to smile sometimes, but it doesnt help anything if it turns into a imitation of the joker. Id rather smile for a genuine reason than have fixed my face with plastic surgery so that it looks like i always smile. I remember a part fom Hitchhikers Guide to the Galaxy, their Marvin becomes the star atraction in a zoo. People asked him if he could give them a smile. He replied that for him to be able to smile, he would need to spend several hours in a workshop with a crowbar and a car jack. Feel fre to say that, as a way to annoy people that bother you by asking for a smile.

Thank you for your responce, must have been damn annoying when people stared at you because of that shirt thing. Sometimes it feels like people are convenient and if they guess they figured out something, they stick with it. My personal guess is that people have a hard time understanding you often can do stuff more than one way, so if i find a more effective way to do something im probably going to meet some resistance. Yesterday, i built a wagon for my bike out of wood. Im going to build a raft so i need something to help me transport oil and plastic drums. The results turned out great, and ive succesfully transported a plastic drum to my parents place. The annoying thing was that alot of people stared, like they were zombies or something. I showed it to my youthleader, and he thought it looked cool, im glad at least he was positive about it.

I totaly agre, why do people feel like they need to bother you with their stupid oppinions, its not like you have that backpack for show. Feels like its politically correct to have an oppinion for mostly everything. And whats this sh*t about looking good, life is alot more than your looks, looks are only skindeep. Id also be pissed of about it, so dont feel your alone in feeling that. I remember a older guy i had as a friend, whe never actually met in real life but communicated by mail or msn. One day he asked if we could go swimming, if we ever would meet eachother and i said why not. Then he wrote that he needs a help thing to swim, one of those plastic white strap thingys with orange/yellow floaty things on. He didnt like swimming because people teased him for that. When i read that i literally exploded, WTFF should people bother with that, he needs it because he has problems swimming. I wrote that i had no problems with that, and that he should not give two sh*ts about what other people think about it. We never had that swim, but he got a little more brave, its sad when people feel restricted by others oppinions.

That must feel even more wierd, to have done nothing abnormal but still get stared at as if you asked for the directions towards Janglan Beta. Today i was outside, riding my bike and this girl really gave me a nobrainer stare. I had a skeing helmet on, i bought it once at a fleamarket because that was the only helmet that i could use. I feel that its so lame, that its normal to se people ride their bikes without a helmet but any other helmet that isnt a bycicle helmet is immediately treated as alien.

That sounds like it could be quite possible, still i dont like to be stared at cause it makes me feel like im some cind of freakin museum object.
