People care about what others think way too much. That is what makes them chase all the social statuses, careers, and stuff like that. People care about their ego so much that they are prepared to sacrifice their lives for a success which they don't even need. Why? So that someone who they don't like would say "Oh, look, he/she has such a wonderful life." Sadly, those people usually add, "And he/she doesn't deserve that. I do." But that is a whole another problem. I want to talk about being seen as a loser today.
Actually, I would love that people would think that I am useless, do nothing, and cannot achieve a thing in my life. That would make me incognito and gives me all the freedom in life. Of course, at the moment, I am too perfect to fool the people that I am not a successful mofo.
But seriously, think about all the people who are seen as losers in life. They don't have any pressure on them as society doesn't expect a thing from those people. All they have to do is survive without committing any crimes. That is a perfect position to find yourself at. That is a position which brings you all the time and power in the world to work on your goals and dreams. You don't have to think about other people opinion and if your tie fits your suit. You can just be you and do whatever you want.
I even try to make myself look a little less than I actually am. On many occasions, I find it a very good thing to do, especially if I create this image of myself in jealous and angry people's minds. They just write me off and let me be, and that is the only thing I want from the society.
Should you talk about how much money you have? No way. Should you tell everyone that your life is perfect? I don't think so. Stuff like that just makes others angry for some reason. I am still figuring out what is wrong with people that they cannot be happy for others, but that's the case in most of the situations. And I don't want to make people angry. That is why I let them think that I am only doing alright, just like everyone else. And after that, I slowly but steadily move toward my goal and try to get rid of those chains that society puts on us.
