edit: What do I do If I think being fashionable is shallow?
being fashionable shows that you're a human being displaying solidarity with others of your culture. It shows that you follow the rules that we've subconsciously laid down and are willing to meet your own goals by working with others and making a mutual gain rather than being an unpredictable "lone wolf" who may or may not have others interests in mind when he interacts with them.
In other words, if you dress well people are less likely to think you're a creepy fuck.
And this is another thing you have to do for your family and friends, so that they don't have to make excuses when someone says, "What the hell is up with that guy?"
Notice how self improvement also helps out the people around you? The more confident, happy, and successful you are, the more the people around you will be, too, in an amazing number of ways.

I hate how you make sense. Guaaaaaa.
edit:
I disagree with society standard of dressing nicely and the need to update one's appearance based on the trends seen in vapid television shows like Gilmore Girls or whatever the hell people are watching now.
How can something so mercurial be used to judge a person's character.
EA: Most of mine end up in a pile on my bed. I'm so bad at putting things awaaaay.
That's exactly what I do, mine end up thrown over the end of my bed though. or instead of hanging them I throw them over the coat hanger bar. I've been better because my mom's place is on the market so it has to be spiffy clean now.
Machinarium is taking way too long to DL... I want eyecandy adventure game NAOW!
Prox: How many times do I have to tell you that you don't have to be trendy to dress well!?
Pretty much this. Wear clothes that fit and colors that work together. The only reason what I wear might be considered "trendy" is because I'm wearing what I want to wear and some of that happens to fit in the "trendy" zone. Not to mention i've found it all on sale for 15 dollars or less at one point or another.

Then drawing also makes you shallow. Being fashionable is an expression of self, not a stamp that says "I am a Gap mannequin". You find things that you like and express who you are as an individual, much like you draw what expresses your inner self.
However, fashion, much like art, has rules. You wouldn't draw with black ink on a black canvas, much like you wouldn't wear clothes that don't fit or colors that clash. This is fashion at it's most basic.
Prox, I won't pretend to know what your issues are based on your previous post about being selfish. Though it seems that you burden yourself with things that are beyond your control, such as what others perceive about you. It is important to establish a good relationship with your friends and family, but a relationship in which you give to others at the expense of your health is not good. You must have a balance! If your family knew that the way you acted was creating such an unhealthy situation for you I'm sure they would want you to stop and do what makes you happy!
Relationships are about give and take. You can't have a healthy relationship with your friend's, family or girlfriend if all you do is GIVE-GIVE-GIVE-GIVE! (TAKE TAKE TAKE TAKE)
Prox, if you wan't change in your life you have to be willing to change!

How can something so mercurial be used to judge a person's character.
First off, I make sense because I'm a fucking misanthrope. I hate people and society in general and take it as a point of pride when I can use society's own rules as a kind of predatory camouflage in order to get what I want. The fact that this kind of shit doesn't come naturally to me might be the reason I'm able to explain it so well, even if I'm not the best in practice.
And your clothing is a form of non-verbal communication. The military is the best example of it. The state of a soldier's uniform is a pretty good indicator of how well a person is willing to play by the rules. When everyone's clothes are exactly the same, you notice the smaller details, like polished boots or a sharply pressed uniform that tell if you're a slacker or not. Like an old Chief once said, "If a guy can hardly keep his fucking boots shined, you think I'd trust him keeping my airplane maintained?"
Of course it's not 100% accurate. There are plenty of lazy fucks out there who look good. But by looking decent you at least get the chance to prove your worth as a human being.

You bought it in a pair. So a unit of measurement.
You don't say "In football, gains are measured in yard" you say "In football, gains are measured in yards"
You don't say "People (general you) buy pair of pants" you say "People buy pairs of pants (clothes)"
So you called me a liar for saying that people buy pairs of pants with the counter "I BOUGHT A PAIR OF PANTS"
Brilliant.
You'd might as well give up law school and become a chimney sweep now, buddy.

No, you've completely failed to convince me that I'm buying more than one item when I'm buying a pair of pants. You suck at lawyering.
No he's actually being a great lawyer. For a lawyer, it doesn't matter who is right, but rather negating the argument due to a technicality such as spelling.

You are a moron. And honest to goodness moron. I didn't even know that they made shortbuses with wifi, let alone trust you fellows to not eat your keyboard.
But then again, it makes more sense if your half of the conversation was made by a voracious mental patient chew, chewing away.

Yes. Full well. One pair of pants
ONE PAIR THERE WAS ONLY ONE OF THEM.
Go ahead, you lawyer wannabe. Argue with me.

of course, I don't actually know what I'm talking about. my version of class is eating dry cereal off a saucer instead of just out of the packet.
edit: and now apparently off my boob. I'm all about the manual dexterity here.
I don't know how many cheerios and popcorns and things I've caught there. I don't even have much! So effective.
