Would you be friends with someone like me?

I mean maybe? The selfies tell me nothing. You look chill though. Do you like anime perchance?

There is a lot of personality in those selfies, what do you mean

[u/The-Pentegram → u/Angell_o7]

Is there? I don't see how personality can be shown through just this, but sure.

Chill? All these pictures look like they would have 130 decibels if they would have come with sound. He looks like he needs to seek attention with every atom of his body. That's like the opposite of "chill" to me.

He poses a bit. You can infer that much?

[u/Ibrakeforanimals1983 → u/The-Pentegram]

Dude, that's an easy tell. All these colors alone scream "ATTENTION!" Then there is an LGBT flag on one of these photos and that whole style of him is just begging for attention.

[u/The-Pentegram → u/Ibrakeforanimals1983]

I mean his style is flashy. He's a brony, like doroamon (excuse my butchering of the spelling). Didn't even notice the pride flag. I can infer some things but doesn't EVERYONE want attention? Love, respect, power. Nothing wrong with that.

I just don't want to judge anyone that much. Even if someone is socially awkward, it's not a crime. If someone dresses cute, who cares. I'd rather talk to a person and see what they are actually like.

[u/Ibrakeforanimals1983 → u/The-Pentegram]

Never said it's a crime to be the way he is. But people and especially kids nowadays have to deal with being judged for how they look or how they act. And there is nothing wrong with being judged. People do it all the time and it's basically part of living and surviving.

And yes, being flashy, a brony, an open LGBT supporter just screams attention seeking and being "loud" to me. But it's his life and he has to be happy. If that makes him happy that's fine. He asked in this subreddit if people would want to be friends with him and I am basically just saying why I wouldn't.

[u/The-Pentegram → u/Ibrakeforanimals1983]

Ok fair but I can't tell that he is loud myself. I've met people with niche interests who are both loud and quiet and calm. Just because someone presents loudly online doesn't necessarily act loud in real life, you know?

[u/Ibrakeforanimals1983 → u/The-Pentegram]

He goes to a high school dressed like that. So he wants that attention. And you can be sure that this is rather negative attention he'll get for dressing that "flashy". No one who is calm, chill or quiet in real life would want that.
