WE ARE ALL UNCOOL

@lotusb14 ・・・ I am not cool, but i am loving this movement. Guess what people? NO ONE IS COOL! We're all nerds and geeks about something. :) Here's why I am uncool... 1) I love art. My life is art and creativity. But not all my work is a masterpiece. For each perfect painting there are tons of throw-aways. And it took my entire life to be able to be happy with even some of my work. So for those who want to be artists, keep going. Keep practicing. Work hard. Work a lot. Live your work and love it even when it is frustrating. 2) i am in my mid thirties and do not have nor want children. It's a difficult, overpopulated world out there. I don't need to bring another body into thus world. And while i would do anything to help a child, i dont want them in my house. I dont do diapers and i cant handle sticky. I just plain cant be a mom. But i can be a great Auntie to my nieces and nephews, and i can teach and encourage the new generations. Teacher, not mommy. 3) i am afraid of moths. Yes. I said moths. Go ahead and laugh, its cool. 4) I am very pale-skinned and for a long time did not feel comfortable in my own skin. Until i started getting tattooed. Then i realized my skin was the perfect canvas and now i cant stop decorating it! Ill take my art collection to the grave with me. 5) I am a high-fiver. Totally not cool but i cant help it! 6) My favorite type of movie is of the Kung Fu genre. Gordon Liu is my hero and i secretly wish i was a master of Wu Shu. 7) I snort when i laugh. Seriously. So thats it, just a few reasons why I am not cool. Im a big dork who gained confidence through art and tattoos. And alonf the way realized how uncool everyone is. Dont compare yourself to others. Focus your energy on being happy. #wearealluncool #iamnotcool #iamuncool #wearealluncoolmovement #personalmoment #realtalk #behappy #liveforyourself #loveyourself #dontbecoolbehappy #artists #artisthumor #nerd #nerdalert http://ift.tt/1cV2vhd

@claxdia.p ・・・ 1. My hair gets dirty really quickly 2. I'm insecure about my weight 3. I'm really awkward, I have many thoughts but what I say is quite minimum. 4. I overthink too much 5. I get really emotional in movies & books #WEAREALLUNCOOL @wearealluncool http://ift.tt/1RMI3yM

@beautiful_breezy18 ・・ #wearealluncool We all have flaws. That is what makes us unique. It is not about being cool. It is about being yourself. 1⃣ I am not the "perfect" girl. I don't have perfect hair, perfect skin, perfect walk, perfect talk, perfect smile, and I am not skinny. I can't get all the guys. But you know what, at least I am not afraid to be me. I like who I am. I don't need a guy to tell me I am beautiful. And I encourage you all to tell yourself that you are perfect. You are all beautiful. 2⃣ I don't have a perfect family, but who does? We might not have a lot of money, or don't have perfect things and we have been through rough times. But one thing is for sure, we have love. We care about one another and will do anything to help anyone. We are loving people. 3⃣ I have a low self-esteem. I don't think of myself as I should sometimes. I put myself down sometimes which is not good. It is hard for me to take compliments sometimes because I think they are lying. But I am getting better at changing that. I thank god everyday for the life he gave me. We should be happy with who we are. We shouldn't change for others. If you want to change, do it for yourself. ❤️❤️❤️ I love you guys! @wearealluncool http://ift.tt/1GPVKtI

@jeff.le_ ・・・ #WeAreAllUncool because 'being cool' is not a real term. We all have flaws and do, or like things that are unique to us. It's not about being cool, it's about being you. I challenge all my followers to do the same. 1) I'm a big fan of country ballads. In particular, Carrie Underwood's 'Temporary Home' is one of my favorite songs of all time 2) My biggest fear is not being enough: good enough, funny enough, smart enough 3) I bust out into song and dance because I enjoy it. Even though I wouldn't make it past the audition rounds of American idol or So You Think You Can Dance. #ImNotCool (Inspired by @mja5041 (my idol)) http://ift.tt/1HtlhVk

@sarahsandin ・・・ I was conflicted posting this...only because I didn't want to be judged but my struggles make me who I am. I love being real and I back this movement 100% I thinks it's incredible. I nominate all of my followers for the I am uncool coolness:) please follow the movement and share your realness @wearealluncool #wearealluncool 1. I grew up really poor. We couldn't even afford to shop at Salvation Army so we stole the nightly donations from the back. We got food from church pantries and sometimes went without. 2. I have suffered from severe depression my entire life and been in therapy on and off since I was 9. 3. I am extremely afraid of sickness. So much that if you are sick around me I will leave you, even if it's the middle of the night, even if I love you. 4. I have suffered from severe anxiety attacks my whole life and at times will make people pull over to let me out of the car, leave important functions, cancel plans because I can't leave my house. I wish it didn't happen, it's really embarrassing. 5. I spent 5 months in a rehab and treatment facility because I was addicted to Xanax (anti-anxiety medication) and self destruction. I didn't want to live anymore and had to be "babysat" They saved my life. 6. My head tells me everyday that I am not loved, that everyone I love will leave me. I have to fight that and I do so by showing others as much love as I can so they never feel that way around me. 7. I could make a list a million miles long of reasons why I am not cool:) http://ift.tt/1EnQE1x

@stjimmy1230 ・・・ #wearealluncool This has been a fun movement to watch build momentum.  We are all so uncool 1.  I struggle daily with parenthood.  I think I'm the cool dad but am I really a good dad?  I beat the hell out of myself because I feel my one daughter is my only shot and I can't get it wrong 2.  Being extraverted is a blast but it's also the mode I feel people expect of me so sometimes I just fake it instead of being true to myself.  I then beat myself up later about it 3. I am a big kid so I constantly feel like I'm short changing my wife of a grown up husband.  When I try to step up my maturity game, a lot of times I just come across sounding pissed off and failing miserably 4. I really want to leave a legacy of leadership development behind but honestly wonder if anyone I teach really gets what I'm trying to say at all.  I feel like I could go on and on. http://ift.tt/1FyVsIl

@thesammiejayne ・・・ ➵ i absolutely adore the @wearealluncool movement! in a world that puts so much pressure on people, to be/look/seem cool, it's refreshing, to see people stand up and speak their truths. i am a firm believer, in being uncool. i am honestly, the most uncool person, i have ever met. i live inside make belief worlds; in books, and in TV shows. i wish my favourite TV characters were my best friends. i wish i lived inside the pages of my favourite book. i would much rather spend my night drinking tea, watching netflix, and cuddling my puppy, than partying and drinking! i would rather live in pjs, than in designer clothes. i often go out barefoot, because i hate wearing shoes. i collect funko pop vinyl figures, despite being 29. i am obsessed with the carpenters, and the beatles. i have OCD and obsess over the stupidest of things; odd numbers which i despise - even to the point of not being able to sit in an odd number seat, or have an odd number concert ticket.. numbers of food items.. the page number i stop reading at.. the list is endless! i have severe anxiety, and talking to people scares me to death. i have been known to cry, if my phone rings. i add up numbers in car registration plates. my self worth is based on the number of instagram followers i have and the number of likes i get on my selfies! i talk to my dog. i wore braces for 10 years. i own colouring books. everyone says my smile is beautiful, but my bottom teeth, are incredibly wonky. i laugh at my own jokes. i stand in the mirror and tear myself apart. i hate myself, more than anyone else could ever hate me. i am the epitome of uncool, and i am ok with that. #wearealluncool http://ift.tt/1d4eKZT

@coreydurkin ・・・ Cheers to @tamarlevine & @nicalvarez for the #WeAreAllUncool campaign...today's generation spends far too much time comparing our less than perfect lives to what we see on social media not realizing that we all struggle, we all screw up romantic relationships, we all come from messed up families, we are all nerds at heart & we're just hoping that when we finally reveal those parts of ourselves to another human, they will not judge us and simply accept and love us as we are. I am uncool, bro. here's my list: 1⃣The Harry Potter books are still & will always be my favorite series of all-time. My goal this summer is to re-read all of them whilst laying on the beach. 2⃣I started shaving my head after completely nerding out on a two day long opportunity-cost calculation of the money I was LOSING by spending 60 minutes at the barber shop every 3 weeks vs the cash I could generate in that simple 60 minutes. Leave it to me to become obsessed with the most obscure business leverage methodologies to justify some of my more irrational life decisions (also filed under: reasons I randomly stay up till 4am and wake up to my office covered in loose leaf paper looking like a scene from A Beautiful Mind) 3⃣I take myself out to a movie or dinner once a week. I'll read a good book in the middle of the restaurant while the couples alternate between staring at their phones and staring at me, wondering when my date is going to arrive. Often, it's extremely awkward and that makes me smile. 4⃣I am the most untidy person you will ever meet. My car is always a disaster. And if I didn't have a housekeeper, no woman would ever set foot in my place of residence. Ever ever ever. 5⃣I'm a big fan of movies like The Notebook & romantic comedies are totally my jam. 6⃣I had the same 8 pairs of boxer briefs for the past five years. It's not a healthy lifestyle choice and I don't recommend it. 7⃣I own zero nice pieces of clothing, suits excepted. All of my clothes are bought from Goodwill or flea market-type places. I nerd out on shopping at spots like those. **tag me if you see this and do a list as well, I want to read yours 👌 http://ift.tt/1H4i3Y9

@e.greeno ・・・ #WEAREALLUNCOOL @wearealluncool "Let’s stop apologizing for who we are, let’s stop living in fear of what others might think, and let’s start celebrating our differences. They might not be 'cool', but they make us, us." c 1. I avoid conflict like the plague and whenever I'm in a situation where there's tension I try to redirect it away from negativity. I don't understand why people gotta be salty towards each other. Love each other. Empower each other 2. Falling in love is my Achilles' heel 3. I am an empath http://ift.tt/1zWiFSD

@rea_sunshine ・・・
Not that I ever really feel like I "fake" much on IG, it's easy to caught up with how perfect life seems on social media. The #WeAreAllUncool campaign is pretty... well, cool. So here I go. 🐱 I am absolutely and completely a cat lady. I love cats and in fact, I own a Pusheen necklace, cat yoga pants, a kitty in space shirt, and cat Vans. I also have two fat cats who I think of as children. 💋 I really don't like my voice. It's the worst when I hear it on camera. I also often mispronounce words and get sh!t for it. And when I'm not tripping on sidewalks, I'm tripping over my words. It's always fantastic timing when it occurs during an interview. 😹 I have an obnoxious laugh. Everyone says I sound like a dog or a squawking bird. But because I dgaf, I only make sure to laugh louder. I also tend to clap or stomp my feet when I find something ultimately funny. 👶 I look very young. My crooked teeth, large nose, Armenian eyebrows, and lack of height don't help matters. I've done my best to embrace this and turn it into a "guess how old I am" game. But it still gets old. No pun intended. 🍕 I am a cheese addict. I once fantasized about being stranded on an island with rivers and waterfalls full of cheese and wine. For my birthday this year, I want to go cheese tasting. I can party later. 💁 I'm not cool but being cool is overrated. #EmbraceYoSelf #PetCats #EatCheese #GetSome @wearealluncool #blackandwhite #glasses #totes http://ift.tt/1DTkafe

@voodooflowerchile ・・・ 1. I post pictures of myself taken in good lighting, at a good angle and people compliment them and it makes me feel good. Because I never feel attractive. And for those few moments when someone tells me that I am, I forget to hate how I look. But this is me in reality. Messy hair, tired, pajamas, chubby face and cubbier body. Cellulite and belly and pores and circles under my eyes. I never look at myself and think "I look pretty today." v 2. Everyone has this idea that I'm all awesome taste in music and film. And I do have awesome taste. But I also love Bryan Adams and 90s teen movies and Grey's Anatomy 3. I'm 33. I don't really make my age known. And no one ever guesses it. I'm not comfortable with my age or the idea of aging. But there I am. 33 years, a lot of them pretty difficult, but I'm still standing. So maybe I shouldn't be so ashamed of these years. #wearealluncool http://ift.tt/1FNiY2Y

@quentonquill ・・・
I just recently discoverd this campaign, and it really spoke to me. I won't give some long speech about my history of insecurity. Just know that everyone is awkward in their own way, so on the flipside we're all beautiful in our ways. 1. I'm deathly afraid of arachnids and insects of all sizes. Even something as harmless as butterflies. 2. I cry at the end of Saving Private Ryan, Toy Story 3, Monsters INC., Bridge to Terabithia, etc. 3. I have a crooked jaw, which makes me doubt all of my facial expressions, especially when taking photographs. 4. I speak without thinking. Sometimes I'm tactless and offensive, and sometimes it's just my words becoming all jumbled. #wearealluncool #truestory http://ift.tt/1KDAB5h

@dar.petebardeguez ・・・
@wearealluncool is a social media project where people express some of their flaws/insecurities and let the world know that nobody's perfect. 1. I get really intimidated around other guys. I always feel I don't have a lot in common with most of them like I'm not into that whole alpha male persona, it's annoying to me. I don't care for sports, I'll play some and go support friends but that's about it. 2. I always feel people see one thing when it comes to me and that's my face. I feel some of my friendships started off and still are going on because of sympathy. 3. I'm a very loyal person, it's a great strength of mine but it's also a weakness because I can become attached to someone easily and basically be a doormat for them. Go follow @wearealluncool, learn about other people and hopefully you'll feel inspired to be real and post your flaws, we all have them. #wearealluncool http://ift.tt/1GlbgsE

@onewithitall ・・・
I'm glad to be sharing this through @wearealluncool #wearealluncool Because I spent so much of my life in school as an outcast trying to fit in, and I didn't even fit in with the other outcasts. I was a self-perfectionist, but only so that people would think I was cool. Now I see how unimportant it is. I just focus on myself for me now and it's a lot less stressful. Here are some of the things that make me uncool. 1. I will make any situation awkward. I am not used to being around people a lot and I can think of plenty of conversations in my head whenever I am alone but during social interactions my mind goes blank and I end up accidentally saying something stupid in an attempt to show people that I can speak. 2. I am super nerdy. I like to read and learn about anything and everything. I'm also really into Spider-Man comics. 3. I do not have 20/20 vision and I can't for the life of me put contacts in my eyes. I can manage fine if I'm not looking at something at a far distance. But wearing glasses always gotten in my way of trying to play sports and do fun things and it's embarrassing when they get knocked off your face. http://ift.tt/1JpTAm8

@melidarenee ・・・
So I have decided to take part in a project that aims to make social media more genuine and realistic. Society pressures us to be a certain way but everyone has their differences and quirks. One thing we all have in common is that #wearealluncool so post a b&w picture of yourself and tell the world 3 things you would normally never share. @wearealluncool 1.I dread big crowds or even small groups of people.. I am so awkward I never know what to do with myself when im around people..I start stuttering when I talk, I tear up, I say the dumbest of things.. so I just try to avoid anything that involves a lot of people 2. I LOVE milk.. I can drink it with any type of meal. If I could I'd probably drink a gallon within a day.. 3. My stretch marks make me feel so self conscious about my body.. they constantly remind me of how my my body is not up to society's standards and how my body doesnt look "perfect" http://ift.tt/1Gqst6y

@_brookachooka ・・・
#wearealluncool is a movement that encourages people to portray their authentic selves in a digital world that demands perfection and condemns flaws. We are able to pick and choose how we want to be seen online all while creating a persona that may not be true to ourselves. @wearealluncool ask social media users to list three things which they would otherwise keep off of the Internet in order to attraction attention to the cause. Here are mine: 1. I have had trichotillomania since the age of 7. My legs are riddled with scars as a result of my compulsions and is something I am very self conscious of. 2. I've never understood how people can be so close to their families while mine was so dysfunctional and estranged. 3. When I'm home alone, I speak to my cats in different accents or sing songs to them. Weird, I know. #wearealluncool #iamnotcool #itsgoodtobeme http://ift.tt/1IKUwOk

@tabtaabs ・・・
#wearealluncool. this is one of the coolest things I've seen going around on Instagram lately. check out their page, post a black and white selfie, and tell everyone what makes you uncool 😎😎 1) I have more selfies with my cats/photos of them than probably anything else on my phone 🐈 2) I'm super socially awkward. I get reeeally anxious in social settings when I don't know many people. I get super quiet and forget normal social cues such as shaking a persons hand or introducing myself when I meet them 👍🏻😅 3) I feel emotion very, very deeply. my parents always told me that I feel things much deeper than most. it's a blessing a curse that's for sure! 4) I have a bad anxious habit of picking the skin around my fingers. my mom always called it "busy fingers." I'm really self conscious about it, but I can't get myself to stop! 5) I still sleep with my baby blanket. 6) I fart like any other human in this world. and I like to give @peterson801 a sly smile until he realizes what i have done...😈💨 http://ift.tt/1Fdk8od
