Om nom nom nom. You type these words, you type them only because you saw your friend do it, and you have always looked up to her. She was the popular one, the good looking one, the one with all the luck in the world.

You feel these words make you cool somehow, like they give you some sort of personality that isn't yours.

You hit send and smile. Maybe they will be impressed with your choice of words, like it really matters wat they think, you just want real friends though. That is the only reason you try to change yourself.

Even so, it doesn't impress anyone. They wonder what your problem is.

"What was that?" They say. Now you feel stupid. There is an even smaller chance of being their friend. Although the words seemed innocent enough, you still ended up feeling like the worlds worst idiot, because it wasn't you. You were proper and different than this. And now, you have done it. You made yourself sound like some stupid person no one wants to talk to.

"Sorry..." You say. You realize it might have been funny if you used it in the correct context, but now, it was stupid. You looked like a dumb poser.

"I'm gunna leave now..." They say, making you feel like a bigger idiot.

"Okay........."

And that was it. That was your failed attempt at trying to fit in with people on this chat you will never meet. You have successfully made yourself a fool. Now you go back and change your username and picture, this time try to be yourself. See what happens. Because in real life, there are no redo's. If you mess up, you are screwed. So just go with's what's naturally, and there is a large chance it won't fail you.

Personal experiences of an attempt to be accepted way back when. I was stupid and young and I was trying to be cool. and I sounded like a retard. Now, I am less like that, that was years ago, but now I am myself, so don't worry bout me.
