I tend to keep myself to myself and don't really get noticed. It is really sad things like piercings, tattoos, certain bands/artists on tshirts are responded to in a very hostile way. I had hoped on coming back here things would have moved on but they haven't. I realise I'm conforming to fit in but I haven't the energy for constant confrontations if people hear knew my dark heart-I keep it hidden

Wow that really sucks. I feel bad for you. I'm going to appreciate my expressive freedom and individuality a lot more now.
