...sigh.
Yes. Yes, I do.
That realization bothers me, but it's true, and there's no escaping that. After all, we humans essentially base ourselves on how we think others see us, so it's inevitable, really.
What matters though, is the extent that you let people's opinions effect you, whether positive or negative in nature. It's important to set your foot down early and come to terms with the fact that people will always be judging you, and that's okay, because you are who you are. This is why self-honesty is the most crucial thing in life. If you like ponies or anything else for that matter, don't lie to yourself - accept that you like it, and identify why you like it. Accept that deep down, it reflects a part of who you are.
In accepting what you are and what you like, you'll have no problems dealing with what other people think - and why would you? If you can say, in all honesty, that this is who I am, and that's okay, then there is no reason for anyone else to think differently. (Talk about superficial judgments, too - judging someone based on their interests? Pssh, That shows a lot about someone's personality.)
So, chin-up. Don't let other people's narrow-minded judgements get you down, whether silent or not. Come to terms with yourself, and I guarantee you'll be so much happier - it's one of the main secrets to living an awesome life.
And by the way, honesty, in all forms? Sexy. Self-honesty and self-acceptance leads to confidence, and nothing screams attractive like confidence. So, y'know - just saying
