How to Be Unique
There are loads of labels these days, and a lot of people believe they are unique but they are not. How can they be unique when everyone is wearing them?
[edit] Steps
- Do things for the right purpose. In other words, try to find things you really enjoy,like a hobby/sport, and participate in them. You tend to meet people that are more in tune with you, when you are going places you love to go, and doing things you love to do.
- Dress for yourself. Avoid trying to dress to please others, it may attract certain people into your life, but not ones that really resonates with you; they'll be seeing an entirely different you, and it prevents any real connection.
- Don't think that being alone means that you are lonely. If you feel like being on your own, don't think of yourself as weird or a loner. When you are in a situation that leaves you alone without it being your choice, try not to think about what you could be doing with others, and what they are doing; this only leads to dissatisfaction. Do something that needs quiet, while there are no distractions around. Enjoy the freedom of being able to do things without eyes watching.
- Labels don't mean ANYTHING. Buy stuff because you like it, want it and look good in it. If you want to be unique, avoid buying something just for the label because that's what everyone else is doing.
- Be aware of your own emotions. Try not to be influenced by other people's emotions. Spending too much time thinking about other people's thoughts can lead you away from your own.
- Know Your Opinions, while being open to suggestion. Don't say something for the sake of saying it. Take a moment after a conversation is struck up to think about what you know and what resonates with you, then begin talking. Try to listen to what other people are saying without being sucked in, and without immediately casting aside their ideas.
[edit] Tips
- No matter how much money you have or how well dressed you are, the most important thing you can wear is a smile. Smiles can make someone’s day a little brighter.
- Just be yourself. Everyone's different already, so it doesn't take much effort.
- Search for a unique hobby/interest that you might have, and be proud of it! But, don't pick a hobby/interest just because it's unique. You must really love it in order for people to believe you!
- Learn something valuable from everyone you meet.
[edit] Warnings
- So you have found the courage to be yourself. Just be yourself and be happy with who you are. But avoid trying to push your ideas onto your friends - you will just all end up looking the same again.
- Do not try so hard to be unique that you give the impression of being "different for the sake of being different." This is not becoming of anyone because it comes across as fake and/or stupid.
