Here’s a little piece that comes from a little bit of experience; a kind that most of us have already had. I hope you feel what I wish to say through words. lemme know what you think! Like,share and comment!! Enjoy reading!
Do you ever have this weird, uncomfortable feeling where you feel like you don’t belong somewhere? You feel like you just don’t fit in?
I do too. We all do. And then we do something very stupid; we try to fit in.
The feeling of being left out is terrible and we blame the way we are for feeling this way. It’s not really your fault, and to be honest sometimes it’s not the other person’s fault either. You don’t enjoy everyone’s company wholeheartedly,do you? It could be because you are very different as people. That way you have to accept that not everyone is going to like you. And you have to be okay with it. That doesn’t mean that you can be treated wrongly for being yourself.
We have to respect each other for who they are. But most importantly, you have to respect yourself for who you are. Only then can you truly be yourself.
Trying to fit in is not the solution. You can’t shrink yourself for people who refuse to grow. Your life is yours. You are the person who’s lived every moment and felt it. Your personality has evolved. Why would you let someone who hasn’t been in your place decide how you should be. It is emotionally frustrating to be in a place you don’t belong to.
You should feel confident in your skin. Make peace with yourself, find comfort in yourself. And you’ll see the difference. When you are in doubt with yourself you’ll have people around who could put you in doubt about yourself. When you are confident within yourself, you stand out. And you come across people who like you for who you are.
You’ve to realise that what you think of your weaknesses can also be your strength. Turn those insecurities into your power, your purpose. Refuse to disrespect yourself by trying to fit in. You should be open to change what you’re wrong at, but change and fitting in is different.
Every piece of the puzzle doesn’t fit in a single spot, they fit only where they belong. Each piece is significant, and important but only where they belong. You are also significant, but only when you stand out and stop trying to fit where you don’t belong.
And while on that note, if you feel that anyone else is trying to fit in, make them comfortable.Tell them that they don’t have to fit into lines and patterns to be around people. They just have to be themselves. Because either ways, there will be people who’ll always judge them and there’ll also be people who’ll simply love them for who they are. After all, we can’t feel good about ourselves by making others feel bad about themselves, right?
I hope you enjoyed reading!! Do let me know what you think! Like,share and comment. Have a great day :)
