I have just moved to a new town. People there seem very friendly, although I don't know anyone very well. Because the town is a medium size, most people seem to just live and let live, which is nice, as the previous place I was living in was very competitive and less friendly. I have finally reached a point in my life where I feel like I need to express my real self on the outside, not just be myself on the inside ( I have always been fine in my own company, but tend to be less myself around others). Therefore I think it is best if I dress in my own way and express myself more authentically. I am also hoping that doing this may enable me to better attract other misfits/like minded people etc. But I am also worried that I might put people off if they think that I am too different.  Just to explain, I often like to playfully subvert the usual constructs, challenging accepted norms etc, and I enjoy the silly side of fashion, challenging norms there as well. So I can often dress in quite an off beat manner. But I don't want to be seen as the 'crazy lady' and not sure if I have the personality to carry this off socially and be accepted, as I tend to quietly go about being a misfit...which may seem confusing to kindly but more conventional country folk...not sure. Hope all of the above makes sense, I don't post on forums very often - APOLOGIES FOR LONG EMAIL.
