We are all unique in our own way. The trick is to "Not Keep up with the Kardashians "- you are your only competition!!! Being different need not mean standing out intentionally.

5 ways to be different when everyone wants to fit in
To be different is not something that needs to be done just for the sake of going against the trend. To fit in or stand out is our choice . The choice is yours to go with the flow or against . Either way the bottom line should be a win win for you.
Choose You- The Real You.
Know yourself first
Know what type of personality you have. Are you an introvert or an extrovert? What type of activities do you enjoy and feel charged up? What is something that makes you get out of your bed? What is something that will matter to you in the next 5 years? Who matters to you the most?
Once you are clear on what you are, you will never indulge in something like being different or fitting in. You will be doing whatever you feel is right for yourself and your well-being.
Set principles and values for yourself
Have some values and stay by them in life. For instance, being honest with your profession and family is a value. When you stick to it, you will do everything that takes to pursue your values. If staying away from the things that make you stray from your work or your near ones, you will do that as your duty.
Once you choose your values, you will do whatever it takes to pursue them.
Accept yourself
Whatever you are – an old fashioned school girl or an outgoing extrovert.. love yourself for who you are . If you are studious the world will call you a nerd if not they will write you off . Does it matter what they think or rather don’t let it matter what they think .
Accept your – trends are temporary. You are permanent. If you are feeling left out by fitting in then you are not in . So it’s better you Stand out n proudly so!
Create your own identity
People will always treat you the same way you are going to treat yourself. By following your values, you also create your identity. When you have your own identity, the place you don’t fit doesn’t solicit you anymore.
Having an identity is like eliminating the things and places where you don’t belong.
Stop being different
At last, stop being different. Be what you are. Be what makes you happy. Do what is right for you, your family, and your nation.
Being different or alike to others will take care of itself.
Bottom Line
Being different and fitting in are not the attributes. Live your life your way. Live it righteously. Stay happy and do everything joyfully, either differently or by fitting in.
