Hello,

i have just noticed that i am not very up to date with tv shows, and trends like fashion and so one. I have always been a person who didnt follow the trends i have always watched things that i like, movies i like , tv shows i like in one time. For example i have never watched game of thrones.My friends are up to date, they watch so many tv shows, modern tv shows like mr robot - i didnt watch. they know popular music.

these are the people that follow the trends and are always one step before me in everything.

but it doesnt bother me. it bothers them. so many times ive heard i SHOULD watch some movies, some tv shows, i SHOuld go to that place, visit this show and so one.

i have always thought-be yourself, dont change, do what you want.

but sometimes i think they think that i am old fashioned. i am not at the top.

i dont need to.

i dont do everything like everybody. i do what I WANT. and sometimes i think that i lose in the 'game' of life, of being on the top.

were are young like 23-30. sometimes i dont have topic among my friends because they know whats going on in the city, they know the bartenders, they know everything new. and i dont.

is that bad?

should i open myself? should i go with the flow like them or should i stay in my place?

I don't even watch TV anymore thats for old people lol but for someone who doesn't care of trends I usually know what's up. I like coming up with my own style s and get told I don't look like I'm from "here"
It's funny you say TV is for old people. I do this thing where I say, "I want to watch my stories," and then I put on 'Downtown Abbey' or a documentary. ☺️

yea the same for me. and for example social media. i dont use facebook any more as well as instagram. all of my friends from my country are like wow for instagram since sth like 6=7 months - i've had it since 4=5 years and i didnt consider it like a big wow. really.

but they do consider because it became the tool to make money and a business market. i dont know.

i really do now know if i should change or not.

i dont watch tv either.

"Should" is basically a figure of speech or a euphemism. It's like when people say "those shoes are my life!" - Being dramatic is just part of being young. You don't have to do anything as useless as watching TV if you don't want to.

yea 'being dramatic'

i am not dramatic at all.

really.

is that a bad thing.?

i live my peaceful life. i dont want to get in any drama .

maybe i should?
If being dramatic is how you like being - go for it.

If not being dramatic is what you prefer - go for that.

Do what makes you happy (and doesn't hurt others.)
