This sounds like a bit of a paradox, but I wouldn't be so afraid to be different, and I wouldn't be so afraid to be normal. When I was at high school, I would try to hide parts of me that were different, like my sexuality, what music I listened to, whatever little things the idiots I went to school with didn't like to see in people. So I was acting like someone I wasn't. And then some rebellious thing kicked in, and I went to another extreme - trying to be too different; again, someone who wasn't me. I didn't break the law or anything, but I was just too determined to be different, just for the sake of being different. Anything that was too "normal" I suppressed. WTF?!  And now I'm perfectly happy with being myself :) 

I should also mention, because it is kinda related, how I really shouldn't have bothered with people who didn't give a shit about me or how I felt, or what I liked and disliked or anything. There are too many great people in the world to waste my time worrying about the most popular girls not liking me. If they don't like me, it's their loss, really.

I'm just glad society is becoming more and more LGBT-friendly. Any dislike that results from me telling people I'm bi, is that I worry that that's how people will define me. It's not who I am, it's just a part of who I am, ya know? I definitely still have some self-esteem issues I need to work out, but yep, on the whole I'm pretty happy with who I am :)
