Title says it all.
I feel like recently over the past 3 months I have changed who I am in reaction to try to fit in on the site and make friends. Its like a live 2 different lives. I have changed my name trying to get a certain name so people would remember me. I would've sold my soul or done anything for some of those badges so I could "fit in" and be like the popular members on here. Recently I have realized that they are just numbers on a screen and just pixels that make up a badge. Outside this site we are all the same and that stuff literally means nothing. It would be nice to achieve some of those special badges, but I wont go out of my way anymore to try and get them. Or try and suck up to staff in the shoutbox like many others do for rep or badges. The reason for that is because they are just numbers and pixels on a screen. I know I am not the only person that feels this way. It feels great to say it though.
Thank you Prodigy for helping me realize all this.

Not that I know much, but there are a lottttt of people on here who can relate to that. Sad really, but you're right. You should just be who you are and not change. If people like you the way you are then cool, if no then a to them

Can't relate. I just be myself- a dick to everyone. And I somehow end up with badges.

I realised this the moment I came into this site, I have only ever really tried for one badge which came down to one thing which kind of upset me that something that terrible beat me. I moved on. Just on this site to help & have fun!

Well in the shoutbox there are obvious groups. Not sure if you go in there often enough to notice that.
