I have always been the kind of person who holds really strong opinions about menial things, and when it comes to big issues, I always take really strong stances on them (Political issues, I mean, like our current US Pres and his stance on immigration). These ideals of mine seem to align pretty closely with Alt subcultures like punk, and I really love how loud and unapologetic I see punk kids being- They know who they are, what they believe, and don't give two shits if it bothers you. I can only imagine having that kind of back bone- When it comes to me and my own opinions, I have never been ashamed of them per se, I believe in them fully and I know my heart's in the right place even if I hadn't thought it all through but I can't bring myself to speak up. I want to, so desperately, but it's scary. What a stupid thought, considering most people would barely give me a glance if they don't already agree.
What I guess I'm trying to say is I would love to be able to speak up about issues that are important to me. To be loud and take up more space. I am so sick of staring at these people who are so in tune with themselves and wishing that were me. Can anyone help? How do you find the balls to live as yourself?

I am a pretty radical girl when it comes to my political ideas, and I can tell you that there are people who will want to silence you. You can start by sharing posts, videos, or creating blogs yourself about what u think.
The people you are most likely to run into are the 'apolitical' ones who will tell you that you are overreacting, and then the people who will tell you that you are conceited or narcissistic for pointing out people's bad actions or opinions. In both cases, they are usually a reflection of the person, not of you.

Well as a punk girl with (literally) no balls (of my own ) you just find someone who doesn't deserve balls and take them off someone else
Nah but fr honestly I just got fed up with beauty standards trying to give me an eating disorder, people in primary school bullying me and I just said 'aight, well they can't hate me any more's and decided to stop giving a fuck and live my own life. Ofc it's tough because I still care about people's opinions, but at some point you have to consider, does it really matter?
You're so right let me go steal some balls rq (On a real note i think you're right! Thank you for this )
