Stopping wanting to conform

Billy87

Question, at what point in your life did you stop caring about conforming to what everyone else was. At what point did trying to fit in and be like everyone else stop mattering to you, or is it something you still care about?

  • It's really strange...I kind of still want to conform, but now, working with children as I do and seeing how wonderfully unique they all are, and how that uniqueness manages to shine through even when they're trying to conform, I'm starting to realise that the world is beautiful because we're all unique. How boring would it be if we were all the same? Isn't it great that we're all different? I must say it helps that my lovely B has stuck by me through thick and thin (literally!) and loves me for who I am, too.

    I know what you mean. Life would be so boring if we were all the same. God made us all different and we don't need to try to be like anyone else, just be the unique person we are.
    I found working with special needs children made me realise this even more, its almost like they cant help being themselves if that makes sense and it makes me realise we all can be ourselves

    Btw I love your name and picture, I love giraffes too. We have had a baby giraffe at our zoo recently and he is so cute
