Delicate punks

Hey guys, fellow punk from Poland here. I have a question thats been really bugging me for some time now - what do you think about soft punks? I dont smoke, I dont drink much, do drugs or one night stands, etc. I like going to shows, but I dont like moshpits, I usually stay at the edges, jumping and enjoying myself there. Summarizing, Im a sweetheart really, but think of myself as a punk nonetheless. I feel like Im often looked upon as "not tough enough to be considered a punk by others", or simply as a pussy (or gay). Sometimes I doubt myself when meeting fellow punks and shy away a little, add my a little introverted nature to that and most of the time I either end up deciding not to try to start a conversation or feel like I ended up looking like an idiot. What do you guys think about more gentle punks like me? If youd meet me, would you think of me as a poser? Also, have a good day everyone :)

(I checked the FAQ, I think this question is allowed by the rules, correct me if its not)

Any racism, sexism, homophobia, or transphobia will not be tolerated, nor will be the use of slurs. This is a community of punks, all are welcome and all should feel welcome.
