Fitting in
It is something most of us do
This can start at a very young age
Peer pressure to dress the same, think the same, own the same things
Fear that if you are different you will be excluded and bullied
And if you grow up still wanting to fit in this can lead to the need to be 'Perfect'
or the worry that you will be found out
or even worse, depression because you never feel good enough because what you are doing and saying is different to what you really feel inside
But we are all different.
Even if we experience the same thing we will perceive it differently from our siblings and closest friends
But that's OK and you are OK
Difference is what makes the world an interesting place
Difference is what gives us room to grow
Difference means you can educate and illuminate other people's thoughts and experiences
If you do worry that you are not good enough
⭐ Journal about all the things you have achieved. Remember your wins.
⭐Identify where you feel inadequate get some training or collaborate. People love to feel wanted and asking for help is not a failure
⭐Don't compare yourself. What is important to someone else and what they want to achieve is different to you. Set your own goals
⭐Don't worry what other people think about you. I'll let you into a secret, most people are worrying about themselves. You don't need their approval
