The fear of being different

There is a fear associated with being different from the people around you. It’s when you feel unsure of whether you are doing the “right” thing or not. Lacking the comfort that comes from doing things in numbers, it’s easy to feel out of place and fear making mistakes.

The range of areas in which this fear is present is large, as you can identify it in just about everything we do. Having a set of opinions that are different from the popular ones is an example. You feel the difference as if it’s wrong. It’s not, if you’re being yourself. Not everyone’s opinion is supposed to be the same. I mean, what kind of world would it be if that were so? Not an interesting one.

There is no need to feel out of place. Just be yourself and live life, because no one knows with surety what we are doing here on Earth. Some might guess, but that doesn’t mean their opinions are correct.

In all the confusion and uncertainty, we live and exist.
