Is It Normal?
What do you think?
Going Goth?
I am very depressed and I think I probably have been for a long time. I want to become a goth but am very scared of what people will say seeing as I was known as a happy christian kid for a long time. What the hell will they say if they see me with long black hair with face piercings and black outfits? Maybe I should not care what other people think. My mum would kill me cos she smothers me. But looking back I used to lover reading vampire novels, watching buffy and angel, and I went to a goth club once. I have also had massive amounts of desire to destroy and kill and have aggressive sex. I am a 21 year old guy. But life seems to me to be incredibly sh*t. I cannot bear the idea of working in an office until I die. I hated the people I went to school with who still bug me by phone and email. I can't seem to get away.

You're not going goth. You're becoming EMO. Goths are rarely depressed.

You don't have to "turn goth" or "emo"
Be yourself, and if that entails having qualities associated with these groups, then so be it. Associating with a subculture is not being true to yourself, but conforming to a plastic model of a superficial sub-culture.

You are born with a gothic (or alike) attitude or you are not... you cannot 'go' goth, you can only show your real face to the world... and if this face is truly goth, so be it... I'm 28, always dressed in black and happy about it... live your true life...whatever it may be... :)

You're an idiot, becoming a goth will solve absolutely none of your problems, it'll just burn your money on band shirts and studded bracelets.

I am depressed so I am joining a conformist subculture that conforms by not conforming. I am depressed so I think I will take on the qualities of superficial morons.

Your a self pittying moronic fool that needs to grow up and act like the adult you are supposed to be.

Feeling sorry for ones self will not solve anything.

Get a grip.

I think you want to shock people to make them realise you're not happy. Try expressing yourself, you don't have to dramatically change your appearance. If your religion isn't working any more, tell them you are no longer a Christian. Try and discuss your unhappiness with family or a friend. Ignore the cruel people who have replied on here, we're supposed to be helping each other.

You sound more EMO than goth,gothic subculture is loosely based around musical influences such as static x,and msi I personally think that gothic music sucks EMO is more focused on bands like split lip,jawbreaker,bright eyes exedera(much better music,less gay clothes)

Wow, way to bring up every mallgoth cliche! If you "go goth" people won't laugh at you because you "used to be a happy christian" (in fact, lots of goths ARE happy christians--who knew?!), they'll be laughing at you because you'll look like a retard.

Goth isn't all about "piercings, black hair, death, destruction, depression, and agressive sex". And instead of trying to box yourself into a subculture to wallow in your depression, why don't you just be yourself, and try to take joy in it?

lol ^ StaticX is not Goth. To the original posted of this... Why not just be yourself, while exploring the darker side of life. If you are really that depressed seek help, because becoming a teen cliche of what people think Goth is won't make you feel better.

just change your number and take control of your life. stop being fucking polite and express yourself pussy. If you're mad show it, if you hate someone let them know. people will respect you because you are honest with yourself and those around you
