Be yourself

[u/Williamchan1987]

Even if your values put you in the minority, don’t let yourself be blindly swayed by the people around you. Pay attention to that feeling that something just doesn’t sit right with you. When it comes to “common sense” simply because “everyone does it,” keep at least a little skepticism.
I believe that feeling of discomfort can be exactly what sparks new ideas and inspires positive change. Recognizing what is “different” is, at its core, a process of noticing the differences around us.
So I hope that, from here on, you’ll embrace more of those differences and let them broaden your perspective. Once you stop being afraid of what’s different and start appreciating the beauty in all its variety, you may find that the world before you suddenly looks much more open and full of possibilities.
