Perhaps all of us encountered or witnessed someone being bullied, or even us being bullied. It may be because of our looks, or perhaps being talentless. Thus, it triggers inferiority complex and deprive us of developing self-esteem and confidence.
Being Bullied
Back when I was younger, I am very much prone to bullying. Even from some of the close people I know, and my classmates in school. I am bullied on how I look. The fact that I am dark-skinned and extremely skinny, I looked at myself as very much inferior. Insecurities were boosted, and I even came to the point that I want to be somebody else.
Became an introvert
Because of constant bullying, I became an introvert. In fact, some of our relatives doesn't know me well because I am always at the room trying to comfort myself through reading, and that I don't want to be criticized of how I look. I felt like digging my own grave when I expose myself only to lead me to being bullied. Hence, I haven't had a lot of friends.
For being talentless
I don't see myself as talented. Things that I like are actually my frustrations. I love music, but I don't have a great voice. I can't play musical instruments except some basic piano skills. I love arts but I cannot draw except basic drawing. I was bullied on how I work on music and artistic skills that I don't have.
Things changes
As we grow old, our experiences build us up. Surround yourselves with positive people. People who are upbuilding, and uplifts your spirit. It will draw you out of insecurities. It doesn't matter if you're in the minority. Remember, great things come from little things.
#Untalented is a motivational force
One thing that I learned from regarding his #Untalented campaign is we are all equally special. We might not have what others have, but there's something in you that others' doesn't have, and that is YOU. We all deserve to be credited for being US, and thankful for having someone in the Steem-sphere who uplifts down-spirited people to come up and shine.
