I normally avoid these one-liners as you well know, but I'll make an exception just this once. =;) You're in a community whose heart is based upon being sycophantic and ostracising those who dare not kiss the elite, and yet you still manage to get by quite well. If anything, maybe you should be asking yourself 'Am I not honest enough?'...
Potentially - I love the way you have of inverting questions - it does make me think about other angles and potentialities.
I guess the Fandom is a mix of people and it's not fair to describe its heart was being based on the sycophantic or the ostrascising. I accept that for some, it is, but there are a lot of good people in the Fandom too. Perhaps I should just accept that my friends seem to like me for who I am and the others (the sycophants and the ostrascisers), well, I'm not too fussed about what they think anyway.
I think we both know you are very concerned on what people think though, as indeed you even say it further up the page. =:P If it isn't those people you're fussed about, and you're happy with your friends, then you're fearing having a differing opinion making you unpopular with whom?
I think my biggest problem is that I ask all the awkward questions! =:P
At the end of the day, whatever you do or think you cant make everyone happy and people will get annoyed. That's sadly just one of those things that has to be accepted in life though. =:P
I don't know, I have this constant fear that people will discover the true me and then disown me. It's a fear I have had since I was six. My psychology is such that I don't feel I deserve all the wonderful friends and the constructive life that I have got and sometimes my mind plots to throw it all away. Or at least that's what it feels like.
As you intonate, there shouldn't be a problem with disagreeing with people but sometimes I take it too personally. I agree with your final statement though and I know I shouldn't worry about things as it's a largely superfluous question but rationality and emotion are never happy bedfellows.
