Recognizing Additudinal Responses

In going through my OTM posts, I instantly recognized the glaring attitudinal response that I have and it was staring me right in the face all semester. All four of my OTM posts weren't about any hard hitting topics like race, politics, or religion. I literally avoided those topics all together. The exception being my Well Informed posts.

In and of itself, avoiding heavier topics is an attitudinal response and the reason is not entirely lost on me. I did not want to post about the same things as the rest of the class. I wanted to be different.

Wanting to be different, not going along with the norm, or what everyone else is doing has been an attitude of mine for as long as I can remember and every single time I have tried to fit myself within the confines of a specific point of view, or lifestyle; I have always felt constricted and have automatically rebelled against those constraints.

Said another way, I have always had the notion, or attitude that society is full of either sheep, or wolves and if I'm going to stand out of the crowd, I can't be a sheep or a wolf. I have to be something else entirely, because simply being a black sheep, or a white wolf is not enough. Being a lion, a dragon or even a unicorn is more my style.
