Have you ever wondered, how to end up being socialized with everyone, just like all the others in the world. The question becomes so relatable to those who always finds it difficult to establish a connection between others, and some calls them introverts. But the fact is that, they are UNIQUE.
The reason I came up with this topic is that, Yesterday I got a chance to have a talk with one of my cousin. He is one of a kind, who enjoys his own company. And all my family finds that really odd. We as a family consider ourselves super cool! And we always thought, how does this boy ends up in our family. Finally I got a chance to interrogate him, on such a rush, I started shooting questions on him. And all of a sudden, he started laughing. Asked me ‘Is it really that strange?’. Without any further guess I told, “Yes, You are not talking like others, you are not behaving like others, You are not socializing like others, You are always on your own!”. ‘Why should I be like others?’ and that backfired.
And that triggered my thoughts, Why are we asking him to be like others? Why are we just following the path , that someone else paved. Why is it so difficult to have a life in our own terms. At some point or another, we always think of having a normal life, without realizing the ‘Normal Life’ is defined with terms and conditions of some set of strangers we call ‘Society’.
Be the unique. Live a life in your own terms. Set your own rules. Never expect others to follow the way you live. Never expect anyone to follow anyone. Everyone is unique in their own way. Introverts and Extroverts are some random keywords, and it is never meant to degrade someone, just because they don't behave like others. Stop being judgmental, and start appreciate the uniqueness in each others. When every others points out that silent boy, I stood by his side and appreciated his uniqueness and that went a really long way. Little efforts can bring out the big in others. Do stand with others despite their behavior or character or look. The things we lack would be strength of others. We are no one to judge others. Always try to bring out the smile in others, rather than pointing out their weakness
BE THE UNIQUE, BE THE EXAMPLE
