Stop Trying to “Fit In!"

[BeRealU]

I have had many great successes in my life, but also many failures. The singular lesson that all have taught me; is Be YOURSELF.

You can’t learn or own anything in this world if you aren’t genuinely walking through your day-to-day as yourself. When I fail, I know that I really gave it MY all, so it’s ok. But when I succeed, there is no greater feeling because I, Me, the real Me, did it.

The same goes for dating, relationships, your career, even finding a church, lol.. just be you, don’t try to fit in. You may miss out on finding your tribe if they come across you while you’re trying to fit in with someone else. Just stop, and check in with yourself today. Who are you, and what do you need to stop fighting against to live honestly and freely?

I'm simply a "non-conformist" as my friends & family call me.
I don't wanna be!

You don’t want to be a non-conformist? Why not?

[DeeDeeDeVour]

Sorry! My thoughts got jumbled up in my mind! Grrr! *
I meant:
"I don't wanna be a conformist!" *
"I don't wanna be a follower!" *
"Fitting in isn't my style." *

My experience in dating most woman don't want you to be you. They want you to be what they want and if you're not what they want they'll just move on. So a lot of guys are forced to fit in to even get a chance at a girl.

Very true, but that relationship is doomed if it begins in you pretending you be something you’re not.

I agree with this. It's too stressful to try to be something you're not
