It is hard to maintain an iconoclastic personna and NOT be ridiculed or belittled by others. Even in bohemian circles, where you'd think eccentricity would be welcomed, it is only to a certain degree, and usually only from moment to moment.
It has to do with people's need to define themselves 'above' or 'as better than' those whom they are often in contact with.
I think sociologists call it 'cognitive dissosanance' (sp??) or something like that. It is a normal component of societal living and plays out in every social organization on the planet involving humans.
They only solution lies within you my friend, for you aren;t going to change their inherent natures.

I recommend the selectivwe placement of a choice booger, and assorted other bodily derived additives to people's diets. Does wonders watching an asshole eating one of your private reserve boogers, believe me. Very empowering!  Sociologist call this "getting even".  |

I thought cognitive dissonance was when people reinterpret old beliefs when conflicting evidence is presented. But yes, it's a lot easier being ordinary. |

I'm not a sociologist. I just came across cognitive dissonance by arguing with creationists on the internet. |

I like re-enacting bad afterschool specials at my desk. I'm not kidding. Ofcourse I have my red Converse hightops on so I don't look to conspicuous.
