As per opening post… I try to avoid being confined by unrealistic expectations of how one should be. That doesn’t mean that I ignore or flout all unwritten rules; it does mean that I don’t want a fear of looking foolish to prevent me from being myself.
One person’s perception may be of folly; to the person concerned, it may be natural or an expression of freedom.
Caveat: no drugs or risk-courting behaviour. That’s not just foolish, it’s bone-deep stupid and a sign of immature brain function.
