Socially Acceptable.

 It may really seem that I have abandoned my blogs.I really haven't. There are two reasons why I have not written my blog for so long. One, I have been really busy lately. And other being I did not have any ideas in my mind.But today after so many days, my mind was running with ideas. This really got me excited and I felt like writing again. So here I am. Okay enough with the welcoming. Let's go on. 

Being socially accepted is something that most of us want. This need is extremely normal in nature.We want people to like us, we want them to think we are fun and cool etc.But sometimes I really wonder, in the process of making us socially accepted, do we lose our own self? When I say socially accepted, I am inclining towards the idea of popularity and fame. I do not intend to mean that a person should never adjust or never understand the needs of others. Sometimes these expectations of being accepted, makes our own image blurry to ourselves. 

People may mock or ridicule these thoughts of mine. But I speak through experience. There are times that I really want to be socially accepted.Sometimes I am accepted, those moments that are so exciting and happy. But on the flip side, there are also moments that I am not accepted. Those are moments where in it is difficult, extremely difficult to accept and love myself. I get too hard on myself. I know these moments may just be the time where in I need to be there for myself, but sadly those are those moments where in I lose myself the most. 

People are strange. We often categorise people and label them.In this process of labelling people, we are also grading them. Making one person seem superior over the other. No person is superior or inferior, people are different. People are not objects, they do not need to be labelled. This process of labelling is become so common because of the media. Often in media, we see movies and shows, we can see people are categorised. This system of categorisation may be obvious or may not be obvious. But it does happen. Some behaviours and actions are portrayed in the way that, they seem to convince, I rather say foolish people into believing that some behaviours and actions are better than others. This does not mean that we should not watch movies or shows. You can watch any show or any movie but be conscious of how things are placed and how things are portrayed.

I just want to convey that we as people need to learn how to be more open. We need to start accepting different kinds of people. Not all people are extroverted, not all people are very talkative but that is okay. We need to start embracing diversity.People are different and that is okay.
