Unique. Being different is better than being inside the lines

Unique. I am a very different person than most people with many of my interests (and disinterests); my values, world view and the (few) things that I require and make me happy in life. But I'm happy to be the person I am. 🙂 There was a time in my life when I hated who I was because I didn't "fit in" and it was tiring to feel like an alien, walking amongst a sea of humans (still is in some ways), but over time I began to realize just how much I love the qualities I have, and that I didn't have to be anything else than who I have always been. It took a long time to truly love myself, but now that I do, I'd never want to be any other way. 😊
However, I think being understood and valued for who we are is something that is a universal human trait and requirement. Regardless of who we are or how people perceive us. We all want to be Seen, valued and understood for who we are as a person. Whether we realize/recognize it or not. Even if only by one person to feel close to. It's the entire reason why friendships and relationships exist in the first place.
No one has to understand you for you to be right. No one knew a word of the things Einstein was spewing until years later they researched and found out he was right about it all. Be unique and someday they'll understand, you're just ahead of the curve.
Most people in this world prefer to be unique. But, the reality is, it is better to be understood.
When one is understood, they have fewer problems in society, as all know that what they state is what will happen. They deal in absolutes, and not a lot of questions. If there were questions, they have already done the work to answer those questions for clarity. Understanding does volumes to help this machine called society to work smoothly together.
It's quite reasonable to yearn for and, to be accomodated with both. We're all unique, and we all desire to be inderstood. The choice that I voted for was merely an arbitrary decision in order to submit this post.
Unique cause If we lose our identity, personality and uniqueness, we won't be the same person anymore
by the way, how did you make that 2nd pic? It's breathtaking
Did you use some type of filter, software or makeup?
I would like to be understood, because I apparently got the unique thing down, if by unique you mean I don't see or respond to things the same way as others. And I wish they could see what I see or even understand what I am talking about.
It's hard for me to find people of like mind, even on mundane non-controversial things.
I am already a bit hard to understand, so I am used to it. Some call me weird, although over the past 7-8 years I have really opened up more as to stating my opinions. It's funny, because I was super diplomatic before, and then from literally one day to the next I just decided to be more blunt and just state my opinions (to my friends/family). It was a bit abrasive, so I actually toned it down a bit again later, so now I am not as much an enigma as I would like haa!
Being unique also helps me weed out people who aren't intelligent enough to understand me.

Understood. I LOVE the girl with the pearl earring. 😍
Being understood. Unique only works if you have a personality that fits in with the masses. Being too unique causes isolation.
I´d rather be understood because I feel like being unique already. Being unique can be good or evil sometimes it´s not best thing because if you´re alone no one understands you.
Unique...
I want to be me, never confused with anyone else.
Being unique makes u stand out and as such, many people will get to know you more and understand you better too
I’ve never felt understood and it can be very isolating
I only ever need to be understood by one person. I just haven't met her yet.
To be myself, unique as you really don’t want to clone or copy me lol
Unique for me being same of everyone else is boring to me
I said understood, but can I be both? They should not be mutually exclusive! :-)
Love walking to the beat of my own drum. I always keep people on their toes. Peopel always have trouble figuring me out and I like it that way.
