Society is based on social relationships and it is these relationships that make life so complicated. Every person is different and every person compensates for someone else. In life, people often have different groups of friends, each with different interest. The person then alters his own "image" so as to suit the group. As we progress in life the alterations increase and this causes a strain in maintaining a personality as well as social web of connection.
As one progresses. These crystalline webs increase and hopefully the bond grows stronger. However, sometimes the differences between you and the group are too great. Be it habits, upbringing or simply distance. And sometime you cannot bear the tension and your whole crystalline system decides to come crashing down.
In trying to fit in you try to shape yourself and alter that single thread not knowing the strain it puts on the entire social system with in yourself. Once in a while the whole crystal system breaks and the suddenly your not sure who you really are anymore and if its right to fit yourself into the mold of the group.
Random thought: To which pipers' tunes do you dance to

so the moral of the story is.. don't try too hard! because some things are just not meant to be
i think as time goes by, who you truely call 'friends' are people who accepts for who you really are.maintaining a wide network is tough but you get to see the side of them you'll never know eventually. alter your image but never be fake in front of them.
hmm. i guess for me wat is most important is to feel comfortable and just be yourself, even when meeting up with different groups of people with different common interest. yes, having common interest makes the pack more closely knitted, but friends aren't supposed to be just people who have common interest as you. they are the ones who have gone through a particular stage of your life with you, who can give you advices & be a listener. most importantly, they are the ones who accept you as you. hope this helps?
