How to be yourself

A lot of people believe they are unique, but in reality they are not. How can they be unique when everyone is also trying to be unique too? These days, people misinterpret tagging along with the crowd as being unique.

Being unique doesn’t mean you have to do what everyone else is doing even if it’s in vogue. Rather it means doing things that might be in vogue but doing it your own way and comfortably too. Below are a few ways you can go about creating your own unique identity.

Know your opinions, while being open to suggestion. During discussions most people feel because comments are being made they too have to make one. Well it is best not to say something for the sake of saying it. Take a moment after a conversation is struck up to think about what you know and what resonates with you before you begin talking. If not try to listen to what other people are saying without being sucked in, and without immediately casting aside their ideas. Have even thought of being the silent listener in a discussion and only chipping in a firm contribution and leaving it at that? That is a unique identity in its own little way, being the silent listener or observer.

Have you noticed how people buy things because they are in vogue and at the end they can’t make use of them? Labels don’t mean anything. Buy stuff because you like it, want it look good in it, and most importantly, because you need it. If you want to be unique, avoid buying something just for the label or sake of it because that’s what everyone else is doing.

Loving your personal space doesn’t make you less a unique person. Don’t think that being alone means that you are lonely. If you feel like being on your own, don’t think of yourself as weird person. See it as someone who needs personal space and time to reflect on better things in life. When you are in a situation that leaves you alone without it being your choice, try not to think about what you could be doing with others, and what they are doing; this only leads to dissatisfaction. Do something that needs quiet, while there are no distractions around. Enjoy the freedom of being able to do things without eyes watching. Even if they are you are just being unique in your own way.

Doing things because others are involved doesn’t make you unique. We need to find activities that we are comfortable with. Do things for the right purpose. In other words, try to find things you really enjoy like a hobby or sport, and participate in them. You tend to meet people that are more in tune with you, when you are going places you love to go, and doing things you love to do.

This dress suits someone doesn’t mean it will look good on you too! Dress for yourself. Avoid trying to dress to please others; it may attract certain people into your life, but not ones that really matter to you. People who mater may be seeing an entirely different you, and it prevents any real connection.

In also trying to create a unique their own uniqueness so why tag along with theirs if it’s not your style of uniqueness identity you need not to be influenced by other people’s emotions. You need to have a mind of your own no matter what. Spending too much time thinking about other people’s thoughts can lead you to stray from your own creative path. Everyone has his own emotions and is guided by the way they intend to create.
