Do you sometimes feel like you want to stand out from the crowd?

No matter if you’re a member of the swimming team or a golf club, everyone wants to be different. Everyone wants to stand out in some way even if they are part of the crowd. Belonging is a detrimental need in all us humans. But when we belong, we still feel the need to be different. Even if it’s physical or psychological.

Maybe us humans wanting to be different from each other is the reason why we do anything. Maybe it’s the reason we make the decisions we do.  There were people before us who have been in the situations we’re in now and yet we are all determined to choose our own fate.

There are 6.5 billion people in the world. Can someone be exactly identical to you? Why do we try so hard to be different? Is it because of the reaction we think we might get from other people?

My one advice, no matter how different or similar we are just be yourself and don’t let life pass you by. Seize the moment and live life how you want to live it.

Best wishes!

    Nice… I think everyone wants to be different because they want the fame. Standing put from the crowd gives you a fame. Doesn’t it?
