Being cocky

I`m really at the end of my rope here. Not to be Monoid 2
or anything but with reason the past while has been, more
insecure then I have ever been.

I was thinking, if I paid more attention to mainstream
fashion and acted a bit more cocky I could passably fool
myself into feeling more secure.

Is it because I am really not doing what I want to do? There
are parts of my life that I feel are great. Then there are
other things that my dis trust for some people undermine
everything. I feel paranoid.

I know that`s a bad sign but I have absolute reason and
justifications with tried and true evidence of particular
actions I am afraid of happening.

Do you think that materialistic behavior and cocky attitudes
build genuine self confidence? I`m happy with everything in
my life but I still feel very insecure. Am I really missing
something?

It`s all spawned from all the new wavers on myspace.com.
Fake people have way more friends (and good looking girls)
then I do : (

a lot of people feel they are missing something even when
they have everything they need to make themselves happy -
its one of those spiritual satisfaction things.

"Do you think that materialistic behavior and cocky
attitudes

perhaps it appears that way and it might make you think so,
but then that is fake self confidence isn't it? people say
best thing you can do for your self confidence is to find
what you are good at and focus on that. im still in search
for it :)

a lot of ultra-cocky people are really very insecure behind
their fake exterior..

People who are popular on myspace are very unlikely to be as
popular in 'real life' - if you are always true to yourself
then yes you may have less friends or take longer to find a
partner or whatever but those close to you are then more
likely to really love you. And being true to yourself doesnt
make you feel secure?

that's sort of what I was going to say... when cockiness
makes people look secure, it's usually just a façade anyway
so what the fuck.

first off - real people have insecurities and realize it

fake people hide them with things, stuff, pretty significant
others, and showing off

i myself - i like certain expensive things, like SOME
clothing ($100 for a pair of jeans, for instance, is fine by
me) - YET i ride a bike, drink cheap alcohol mostly (i do
do top shelf but not very often) and live a quiet, meager
lifestyle - it all depends on what matters to you

we all feel insecure it sucks, but its how you deal with it
that matters

ive dated pretty girls with NO self esteem (or piss poor)
and not-so-pretty girls with healthy self esteem...let me
tell you - the non-head turning ones are the ones i still
talk to...because they're genuine reasonable people

between this and your student loans you must be beside
yourself - sounds like me last year after i got dumped - but
you know what? life makes more sense as it moves on...

just dont be a meat head...you can tell those guys are
covering up for...shit look at dog_belch

euphon - lol

fungus - It's normal dude. Just have to get used to
reminding yourself that those people are twats and they
don't mean anything. All those 'friends' you see on myspace
are just whores that accept whoever invites them, even if
they don't chat. Its true for everyone, even me. I have 25
friends but maybe only talk to 10 of them and even fewer I
chill with in real life. But I'm ok with that because they
are all geniune peeps.

i know the feelin bruvvv... sometimes I think if you are
boring and just another cocky phony cunt you fit into the
world quite well which probably has a certain charm to it,
but I'm sure it's not worth it.

Fuck it. Feelings and being all emo about shit is for
pussies. At the end of the day, we're all basically monkeys.
If some girl is breaking your heart, fuck it. If you feel
alienated, fuck it. If the world is a shallow and scary
place, fuck it. It's the only way you're going to get on in
life. One day you'll rotting in a wooden box. So party and
try to get on with things and do what you want. If people
are pissed off with you/look down on you, from your
perspective you can just dismiss the fuckers as boring
farts. I was hung up over a girl I thought I loved during my
teenage years, and one day I just let it all go. It's
liberating. Like Lou Barlow said: "It's a world of
demands/it doesn't stop to understand."

i'd say cocky attitudes are more of a result of self
confidence (but there is always the case of people just
pretending to be that way to cover things up, as mentioned)

and i'd say materialistic behavior is more a way to try and
make up for some other void in one's life.

perhaps looking more towards the root of problems you're
having?

" And being true to yourself doesnt
make you feel secure? "

It does when I am alone. The feeling of being pressured to
socially intagrate myself, often leads to feelings of guilt
because I do not feel the need to be accepted. Which in the
end always makes a odd being out of my reputation, snow
balling into a "Whats his problem" thing and in general only
effects me much later on. Like while eating lunch or
something, "Why the are people breaking me down I didn`t do
anything".

It`s annoence and guilt all wrapped up .

"between this and your student loans you must be beside
yourself"

Yeah. Thanks dude. There are about 4 other big things that I
rather not talk about now, but you kind of helped bring in
perspective that maybe I need to "get away".
Hair loss being the lesser of the few :((((

Your right I gotta not worry about it. Usually this doesn`t
happen but I guess it's been one of those months!

why would you feel guilty about not feeling the need to be
accepted?

who cares, fuck em

dont fret losing your hair, i shave my head, hair can go
fuck itself

i get coined as an asshole CONSTANTLY - mainly because i
dont care about things i dont care about (i know that sounds
ridiculous but let me elaborate) - i used to put up with
peoples shit and be empathetic etc (i still am, to those i
love, which is few) - but, for instance, i meet a girl and
she starts in with her normal girlish bullshit (name any one
of 10,000 things) i just quite honestly stop caring and
communicating...perhaps its that im too busy currently, or
that deep down i really am just an asshole - but it makes my
life a lot less complicated

for instance - i met a girl, we slept together (wink wink),
oh who am i kidding we just fucked a few times - she
gathered for some reason i wanted a relationship...which i
didnt...but it was easier for her to say "hey i cant promise
you commitment we need to end this (whatever "this" was,
mainly just weekly sex romps)" so i said "okay" cool - went
along my way, that night kissed another girl in a bar, etc
etc

the clincher was i went to a party and she happened to be
there and started this "do you hate me" / "why does he hate
me" (to my friends) - it went on for a few hours and at the
end of the night i just looked at her and said

"do you wanna go make out"
she said
"yeah but not in plain sight, let's go outside"
so i said
"forget it...wanna go somewhere and fuck?"
she said
"no"
so i said
"ok, then i gotta go home"
and bounced

"sometimes you gotta put them hoes in their friggin place"
- q-tip

kittens are where it's at, all you angry youths should look
at kittens more often and start emulating their
behavior instead of your cocky peers
