You think "You're the odd one out?" It's not easy being different. Sometimes you get mocked up being different. The others make you feel like you are not of their league. You don't perfectly fit in to the everyday puzzle of life. Here let me give you an example, Imagine you and your friends are talking about a TV show, like "Game Of Thrones". Every friend of yours keep on saying that how they love the show & bam, you say "It's good but I don't like it much", everybody starts looking at you like they're gonna kill you. For you it might not be a big thing but others sitting in that room might think that this guy isn't one of us. And, by this one small thing they start to ignore you & the reason is "You didn't say what they wanted to hear, You're being different". You start to think that what should i do about it, to which i say "Accept It". Accept that you are different from others. It's not a crime.
Just be yourself, have the confidence & deal with the means comments people say about you because you're different from others. Admit It. Say to yourself, "Yes, I am Different. I am Unique. and, to make yourself feel good, say, "Yes. I am different, unique & cool. And, no one can change that. Get that self-confidence in you. Sometimes, you wake up in the morning thinking that you would feel better if all could just stop, thinking that maybe you should be like everyone else, just to avoid social awkwardness. But ask yourself, "Do you really want this?" While being different can be a bit hard, but it's not a crime. Being different is what makes you who you are. It means that you're daring to live your own life, that too on your own terms, with your values. Everyone has something that makes them feel awesome. So just do it. Do the things that make you feel great, buy clothes, buy games, sing, dance, act. Do whatever that makes you feel that you are being yourself now. Because, you need to have self-confidence to be different but feel awesome at the same time. It makes your personality "interesting".
Let me give you an example of myself. When I was in school, most of the students wanted to be lawyers, engineers, doctors, teachers etc. Whereas me, I just hated these professions. I didn't want to be a person who does what 99% of the people are doing. I wanted to be different. Normal jobs don't interest me. People thought I'm different. At that time, I seriously didn't know what i wanted to be when I grow up. There were too many things going in my mind at that age. The only interest I had at that time was "Cricket" & I was just 11 & you can think of various things that you want to be at that age. You can like every next thing you see in that age. So, one day out of no where a cousin of mine was looking for a child to play a character in a Theatre Drama and when he asked me, I said yes. I had nothing to do with acting. It was just a role of 15 minutes, which i did. And, I got such brilliant reviews for my acting that people kept on saying to me, you should carry on with this. And, I totally loved it. Since that day, I knew that I wanted to do something with Acting when i grow up. As i grew up, I took acting classes to pursue the dream that I once had. People would laugh at me, when I used to say that I want to be an Artist. They would say that "It's not a normal job". I know, its not a normal job. And, i am so happy that I am not doing one. This is just an example of myself being different.
Never give up on your dreams. It's yours. I start to remember the lines said by "Will Smith" to his "Son" in "The Pursuit Of Happyness". He says "Hey. Don't ever let somebody tell you You can't do something. Not even me. You gotta a dream. You gotta protect it. People can't do something themselves, they want to tell you that you can't do it. If you want something, Go Get It." Always remember this that "You have no idea what you can achieve if you don't give up.
Just go out there & scream "Yes, I am Different & I am proud of it".And, Keep smiling Always. Cheers!
