Where does real strength come from?

Safety in numbers is the last resort in my opinion although it seems to be the most popular choice for most people. Just look at it like this…..when things are going great…..popularity is always the greatest attraction…..but when it all goes south…..even the penguins run away…LMAO RATF PML

I don’t know if I agree with you that popularity is always the greatest attraction.  Popularity never lasts, not really.  Some people get fed up of vying for someones attention and they get jealous and nasty and end up targeting that popular person with nastiness.  I tend to appreciate the ‘popular’ people and let them get on with it as I find the quiet people more interesting.  I rather enjoy finding a gem in the midst of all the nonsense of the popularity competitions often found in chatrooms.

I look for that one interesting funny character who stands out but is so overlooked by those with the louder voices.  I am attracted to intense characters who have a hidden passion but have found myself being distracted by the opposite of what I would naturally be interested in lately.  I have focused too much on the ‘misunderstood’ only to discover that they really were not ‘misunderstood’ at all.  I suppose I was searching for people who are like me.  I got that wrong repeatedly.  I am working on not doing that again.

The people who crave validation by being liked are transparent and although are often really nice people what you see on the surface is really all that they are about.  I don’t believe you cant really trust a person who wishes to be liked so much because they are too focused on it to be any kind of real friend to you.

A real friend I think is someone who will speak out when someone needs to speak out knowing they will get abuse for it.  Doing the right thing in my opinion is more important than whether or not the ‘majority’ likes you.  Not being someones friend just because ‘no one else likes them’ is very prominent in chatrooms.  Shame really cos often people get judged and overlooked unfairly.

If your penquin runs away, it just was not your kind of penquin

One things for sure, there’s no ” strength in character ” from a deranged tit laughing to himself all day Q.
