Community

I've never really been a TV series person, but god do i love Community. It has got to be the quirkiest, funniest, most entertaining, yet surprisingly heart warming show ever. In a community college full of weird, socially awkward people, i feel like i can fit right in.

You know, I use to really despise being called socially awkward, i thought it was some sort of shameful personality flaw, that somehow, it made me a lesser person. Well, now i openly embrace my awkwardness. It is a part of who i am, and it is something i can never change because i will always be me. The way i talk, the way i think, is what defines the person i am. If being socially accepted means feeling ashamed of the person i am, then fuck social convention, fuck the social norm. Im not going to let society's perception of how i should behave, dictate how i conduct myself. Because you know what? Society's pretty awkward itself. And its dysfunctional, its discriminatory, and its depraved. It is simply an amalgamation of selfish, socially dysfunctional human beings trying their best to coexist with one another.

What makes the show so amazing is that each and every character is socially inept on some level. And watching their honest, entertaining, and sometimes painful attempts to communicate and connect with one another really speaks to my heart. Each and every one of us have communication problems on some level. Even the confident, narcissistic playboy who knows how to chat up women, has problems interacting honestly with the people around him. No one wants to watch a show where every character just behaves in a socially acceptable way. Thats fucking boring.

I am proud of who i am, and if someone were to look down on me because they behave in a socially more acceptable way, then it begs the question, does that make them more of a person, or less?
