Why is my life so cliched?

"You could argue he was 'being himself,' but the notion that he was the sum of his portrayal is moronic"

That point was so moot, to the person he was talking to he was "Being Himself". I would like you to define what it is the individual is defined by? Social Class? Karma? Astrology? Dick size?

"I like the attention, for one thing"
You are doing it for attention, and thus for other people. You say doing something to get laid is "not being yourself", and it's just the "Gene pool sorting itself out". Maybe your lack of attention is there for a reason, but instead of accepting it you get pink shoes. You don't like encountering the empty shells of people, what do you do when you see yourself in the mirror? Besides put your lip gloss on.
