    it’s not a lack of self respect. it’s a lack of give a fuck what you think about my clothes. if anything, that’s more self respect than trying to live up to someone everyone else’s “fashion” expectations, regardless of how I want to express myself. and what have you done to warrant me being obliged to wear what you think i should wear to the store?

    “iTs SoCiEtAl NoRmS!”

    indeed it was

      We all live in this world and we should take consideration for others. People obviously exclusively care about themselves and it seems people want to show of how much they are the centre of the world by actively showing off to everyone how little they care. Contradictory I know.

      No one wants to see you in private clothes, no one wants to see “Juicy” written on your arse, no one want to see your gut hanging out, no one wants to see your huge cleavage going to your bellybutton, no one wants to see your arsecrack.

      People now almost take it as a sense of pride that they can look as shitty as possibly just to show off. Yea great, you look a state congratulation.

        this i agree with.

        but then you take the liberty of speaking for the entire world:

        No one wants to see you in private clothes, no one wants to see “Juicy” written on your arse, no one want to see your gut hanging out, no one wants to see your huge cleavage going to your bellybutton, no one wants to see your arsecrack.

        you are speaking as if your opinions are/should be EVERYONE’S opinion, which you’re free to believe, but it’s a dumb opinion that i shit on. more information . see also: “nO oNe ShOuLd HaVe TaTtOos!!” “nO oNe ShOuLd BrEaStFeEd In PuBlIC” etc.

        i’m not telling you what to think. i’m saying you’re in for a miserable life if this is really what you think. and i have zero sympathy. and i can tell you 2 things: 1) i have plenty of self respect, and 2) i can’t think of anything i give less of a fuck about than having YOUR respect

          You really seem to care about showing people how little you care.

            you’re right, i admit: i would like everyone to care less about clothes and other superficial crap, and argue about it online. usually when i’m drunk, which i am.

            sober me knows this is a battle of snowballs vs fireballs, but fuck it. it’ll make me smile, thinking of you getting red in the face mad every time you go to 7eleven and see an asscrack emerging from pajama pants

        Depends on context. If I’m interviewing for an office job that’s one thing, if I’m running to the convenience store at night that’s another.
