I dont know how to cut things...

[silent_revery]

I find that I become very tired when I go out... I think the concentration of people weighs my head down somewhat. I feel heavy and almost exhausted to the point where I just want to lapse into sleep.

The constant reminder, while out and about by myself, that a large percentage of the people are practiced, adhering to a formula of dress, demeanour

You can't necessarily decide, though, that just because someone likes something that is 'popular' or dresses a certain way that they're doing it just to fit in; perhaps there's a REASON it's popular and appeals to so many people, in which case you're saying that someone should only like things other people don't otherwise they're not being their 'true selves'. I understand what you're saying about people changing to fit in, but you can't automatically assume that every single person is hiding behind a mask when they like something that other people do just to live vicariously through or to try and avoid being an outcast.
