Trying to fit it is a life long struggle. From our personal to professional life, we always try to fit in, in many ways. It's okay and it's natural. It saves us from the feeling of left alone, it gives us security and gives us validity. But what if you feel you don't fit it, you can't fit in?
Well, it's not very common in our life, I think. We all have faced it at any point in our life that we don't feel the connection with any group, job or society. And we feel different. It's actually up to us what we really want to do, how we want to deal with this?
First, you can try to fit it by following and accepting what others are doing.
You can choose your own way, be yourself and try to establish it.
I would suggest if you feel the strength in yourself that you can fight for what you believe and have the courage to make others understand and accept what you really are- go for it. But if you don't have that much courage then try to fit in.
- Fitting in doesn't always mean, you are coward. Rather, it's a way to accept life, it's a way to find happiness in a peaceful way. And do follow others, accept the rules and act the same. If you believe in fitting in, then do try for it. Don't resist.*
And, if you have your own way then fight for it, to establish it. Go with your thought and make others understand your point of view. It will take time but it worth to try.
If you are not feeling right in any positing whether you are trying to fit in or making your own way; you always can choose to move. It's okay to desire acceptance from groups or society. And it's also okay if you are feeling totally opposite. Don't feel awkward. Choose what you want to take action as per.
