Well, before I even knew what the actual term was I think I most have always been one deep down, but often I feel frustrated with the rest of the world loves authority, rules and system of control and generally often sides with them. Often I feel pretty left out, I suppose just in regards to the fact that my personality and way of looking at things/opinions fall into this way of seeing things and it reflects on the type of person I am but I find that generally it makes most people angry at me.
It often seems to sort of follow suit long the lines of "no, why can't we think for ourselves, what's wrong with thinking for yourself" then others in reply "BECAUSE, ...BECAUSE, UH, IT'S JUST THE WAY THINGS ARE, WHAT MAKES YoU THINK YOU'RE ANY BETTER" and then often times I am shunned, completely ignored. But I've just never quite had respect for extreme forms of authority, and systems of control, or that very idea. I think we should all be in charge of our own lives, and that mostly people should be able to do whatever they want. Actually, I think that most social interactions, or conflicts I get into usually stem from this. I would consider myself a left leaning libertarian though, I don't agree with the assumption that it's merely "capitalism" or that, well I'm not sure. I 'm not completely against governments or something, but sometimes I could go both ways. Sometimes I imagine what the West used to be like when their was just a sheriff and I think it would be awesome, but kind of too extreme by today's standards, but I think it's good to at least keep the mind set alive.
Also I find this weird, but in my own personal experiences I have noticed that liberals today are more authoritarian then conservatives and while I do not agree with conservatives on a lot of things, they are less strict/controlling and easy going where as liberals are all tight wads. I find this strange as well. I thought liberals was always about "power to the people" anti-authoritarianism and the like.
