Acknowledge your own uniqueness. You are, in a sense, already original. While there will be people who are similar to you, wear similar clothes, read similar books, have similar ideas, no one is coming at the world from exactly your point of view . Confidence is also a vital point. Have confidence in yourself.It helps when you're doing something unusual or different.However this does not mean to compare yourself to others.
Think critically. Pay attention to what works and what doesn't work in both others' works and in your own. You won't be perfect, even when you're old hat at things like writing, painting. If someone doesn't like what you're doing,Don't let that shake you. Don't accept opinions of others without analyzing them and looking from various points of view.
You can improve your confidence by finding things that you are interested in and improving them.
Don't worry too much about being "original" just keep doing what you're doing and you'll find people telling you that you're "original"
Be yourself. That is the key to it.
