If you are an "insecure" human, such as myself, it is very easy for people to make you feel worthless, whether they do it consciously or unconsciously or even in a slightly-conscious-but-don't-mind-me sort of way. Anywho. My resolution, coming far after New years, (ah well, I didn't have any then so this will make up for it) is to be more independent and just ignore my inner down-talker.
Since saying to myself 'oooh, you aren't doing everything in the world-feel guilty!' or 'if you aren't in 50 school clubs and don't have 2 trillion friends on Facebook, you'll never get anywhere!' (just made these up. Don't go to school, don't have Facebook, but maybe these are more universal problems than ones I would have otherwise stated...?)  really doesn't help anything, not at all, I have decided to just give these and many other destabilizing whispers a good smack, and barge onward in life, to what end I do not know.
I am not going to feel pressured by anyone or anything, ever again; I am not going to do things I have a bad gut feeling about just because others say it will be good for me; I am not going to agree with people for the sake of fitting in (I'll either plainly state my opinion or not say anything); I am not going to pander to social norms nor am I going to belong in any "outcast" categories.
So there! I realize that these resolutions may be waved in certain situations, but they apply to most. I also realize that semi-colons may not be acceptable here, but I feel these resolutions are sometimes linked, so deal.
