Saintess, you're an okay guy, and don't let anyone tell you differently. ;p
Seriously, you're fine. A lot of people will try to impress their morals or standards of living upon you, probably hinting that you're messed up or something. But as long as you feel your life is okay, and you're not harming anyone, then you should feel free to be yourself.
I often think like you; if someone can get past the exterior, then they are a true friend. Many times I have trusted someone, only for them to reveal they were a false friend, only concerned about themselves. A gruff exterior keeps these false friends at bay, and the ones that get close, you know can handle you. All very logical.
What generally makes people upset or why they attempt to change your mind, is because they don't like the implication that they could be a false friend. That if only you were different, like them, then they could get along with you.
So yeah, down with hypocrisy! The only true yardsticks for life are reality and logic; everything else is situational and varies wildly from person to person.
