Do you find yourself adapting to fit in?
I think we have all been there at least a couple times in our lives. We know in our teens and 20s we are still trying to figure out who we are, so we adapt to our social circles and social "norms." Then we hopefully start to understand ourselves a little more and really embrace our amazing self for who we are. Just when we think we are getting there, life throws us a curve ball like a new job, a marriage, a divorce, a child, buying a home, getting fired, a loss of a parent and the list goes on. We start to find ourselves adapting again because we don't quite know who we are again.
I think it is good to adapt sometimes. If it takes a little pressure off yourself and helps when you need the support of similar people or need to just fade into the background a little bit. I do not think it is a good place to stay and instead only using it as a temporary tool to get you through a changing time.
Instead of adapting all the time throughout your life, give standing out a whirl. You standing out, being you, saying anything and everything because it is who you are - that is how you influence. Think of the humans you are interested in and what they are doing. I bet they are being exactly who they are and you identify with that. You are influenced by that.
Be you, be real and be the influence the world needs. There are plenty of humans who just adapt.
