How do you feel about this?

Do you want specific text to character examples?
Okay then. Going to talk about you in third person because that’s how I think about literary characters.



This may sound messed up but what he is now is all because of ME.

Completely disregards his own friends will, only thinks of how his own actions affect others. Seems to disregard others feelings for how they generally present themselves to others. Caps lock emphasis on “me” for extra narcissism.



If you haven’t noticed Matt is kinda a conformist…

Sees taking advice as “conforming.” Perhaps insecure in himself, maybe does not understand why his advice would be valued and accounted for. Again, does not see that Matt joining these activities means Matt has to go against Matt’s own will and sacrifice temporary comfort for long term comfort, something clearly “uncomformist.”
Also introduced here is the anger against “conformism.” Protagonist has issues understanding others wills and only sees his own, so it’s easy to see everyone else as “conforming” while he is the sole “individual.”



I introduced him to MY friends!

Possessive. Again, does not see people as individuals, rather as masses. Does not understand the will of others.



He is like way to close to my friends I just saw a status on facebook saying that he went out ice skating with them!

Boohoo protagonist’s friend is becoming a social being, thus the friend is “conforming,” even though these are the protagonists friends who the protagonist apparently valued, otherwise he wouldn’t be so jealous and mad about “losing” his friends. Why be annoyed at losing your friends if they’re all such “conformists.”

And here’s the main thing that annoyed me:



Like I just kinda thing its messed up that people like conformists more than free thinkers…

CLEARLY people who work hard to be social and make themselves better and get friends are the real conformists, not the people who sit in their rooms all day and just “accept” that no one’s asking them out and aren’t making god damn effort to go out. Clearly not being complacent with your current status is “conformist.”

Obviously arm chair psychology is ridiculous, but just based off this, you sound incredibly immature and hung up on being a “rebel individual” while really, you’re the apathetic conformist.
Also, all the grammatical errors and caps lock makes your post seem hastily posted and hardly reflected upon, rather than coolly introspecting on your current situation and how you allowed yourself to end up this way.
