An ex girlfriend of mine is a progtard now. Hacked all her hair off dyed it green. frickin nose ring and covered with shitty tattoos. Went to private school her whole life and grew up in the nicest neighborhood in Pensacola. Never wanted for anything. I just don't understand it.
Highlighted the important part.
Generally, people need something to strive toward. Whether it's having to work to earn enough to pay rent, finding a constructive hobby, etc. we have a drive for accomplishing things. We also need time to think, contemplate and understand ourselves and the world around us. This means we need a balance in our lives, people like her seem to be missing that balance. Not having to really push herself to achieve things of importance (or even having something important to work toward) can often create an imbalance which can leave a person feeling restless, like they need to "find themselves".
Going with drastic, superficial changes in appearance occupies their time while making them feel they've accomplished something. They will literally feel (temporarily) like they have a different view on life when all they've really done is change their hair color. The real change their wanting comes from within (that sense of balance I mentioned earlier) but instead they focus on the outer appearance. Such outward expressions can have many different origin points, but those points are almost always some dissatisfaction with themselves or something in their life.
