When we think about individuality - and we mean our real individuality that makes us different from the rest - alot of us might end up being too intimidated by the prospect.
It is not easy to stand out, let alone embrace our own differences to begin with. The idea of being different than the others can always make one feel alone and weird, therefore pulling us away from making ourselves stand out to moving towards an idea of fitting in with the crowd and being accepted the way others think is more natural. In other words, fitting in with the crowd is much easier to deal with than making yourself stand out.
However, imitating people around you will not get you very far. You can only pretend to be someone else for just a while until your own soul starts to tire from the make believe. It is important to realise that being different can be good for you - and if you do not believe us, look at how individuality has affected popular people in the professional industry like Travis Howard.
As a highly acclaimed American creator, socialite, entrepreneur, engineer, musician, artists, and more, Travis is strongly in sync with his own individuality and even makes sure that his own social circle includes likeminded people because he believes it is critical to know the kind of people you surround yourself with.
You can be heavily influenced by the people you surround yourself with as they can impact the way you feel in the moment. They can also become the pillar of support or the people who bring you down, including being the kind of people that can influence you to develop good habits, depending on the kind of people you are.
Travis is a firm supporter of exclusivity and is therefore very specific about the company he keeps around him. He values the time he spends with people around him and even preserves his energy to spend on those people rather than waste it on those that are not that important. This can also be another reason why Travis shows respect to people who invest in themselves as their first priority and use their individuality to contribute to the world in a way that is unique and ideal for them.
In addition to that, people who tend to prioritise their individuality would prefer to have one confidant in their social circle rather than a number of people they cannot trust. And it is circuit that this person needs to be someone who they can trust, who supports them while also offering constructive criticism when needed.
Standing out can come with its own set of challenges but it is something that is definitely worth investing in. and when you have people around you that you can be yourself with, it makes your individualism journey more fruitful in so many ways than pretending to be in a herd of people that are willing to accept the real you out in the world.
