Why do people label themselves?

Because it is easy. It is much easier to label someone then to actually go through the effort of finding out what kind of human being the person is

I hate labels, they are all annoying. And the worst is when people are all “How do I become (label)”… its ridiculous.

Because they have nothing better to do.

I rather listen to a range of music that appeals to me, dress in what appeals to me and do what appeals to me. Who cares about lables.

And whose going to care in 10 years?

No one.

I think it goes back to when we all belong to tribes. It’s like finding people that follow the same ‘rituals’ as yourself. It’s to belong. We all do it in some form. When I walk down the street and hear conversations like “I was wearing those cool ripped jeans, aren’t im much more indivual than such and such” It just proves to me, what a shiz hole this place is where indivualism is a stereotype.

You raised a good point and I totally agree that people play upto stereotypes. However there are a lot of people out there that have no personality so if we all decided to just be ourselves they’d still be people out there, that’d leach onto it and turn it into a fashion statement.

haha.. I love how you get straight to the point! I’m not sure why people lable themselves. I guess everyone does it, though. I’m from the South and I’m very, very southern. I ride horses, fish, talk with an accent and say “yonder, ya’ll” and things like that. Although, I know I’m southern, and I know I’m what most people would call a “redneck” I can’t stand to be called one! When you think of redneck, you think of a man with no teeth, whos married to his sister, and never made it past third grade, but that’s never the case, even though thats the way its portrayed in the movies! I would never date my brother, I graduated high school with honors, and I have perfect teeth! I can’t hide who I am, but I will admit I do kind of lable my own self.

Imma werewolf. Is that a label?

People label themselves , Because they probably feel as if they finally belong… And You cant become ANYTHING. You can dress or act like something but not be it. Wait, huh? Labels are silly… Label are for cereal boxes, and canned foods… Not people.. :D

So I remember who I am in the morning.
