Yes, be who you are. That's what makes us unique! If we all did the same thing or looked the same, it would be a very dull and boring life.

Simple answer... YES! no two people are completely the same, not even twins. every individual person is unique, from eye color, to hair color, from height and weight, to accents and lifestyles.

Yes. It can be confusing and distressing when everyone else seems able to cope with things you can't. But that's not strictly true. Everyone on this planet is different from another and that is what makes us special. You are you and no one else is anything close. Be yourself and thrive, you are amazing.

Yes it is. Everyone is unique in their own special way. No two people are alike. Just like all the planets are different even we are.

You're not everyone else, you can only be you. How any more different could each other be to everyone else ? It's diversity. It allows exchanges, sharing. Take it as a benefit !

I know this is an old thread, but i googled pretty much the same question and this thread came up as a result so I felt compelled to respond...Being different is what distinguishes you from the rest of the mouth breathers on this planet. For the longest time I felt pretty much like you..that there was something abnormal about me cause I don't fit in or get along with most "normal" people. But that is exactly what makes us special (i.e. better), you don't conform to the standard. Everyone else seems normal because there's so many people that are deficient that that is what has become the generally accepted state. You don't want to be like everyone else.. being different is a blessing, it's a prize, it's a gift... being different means you're not like every other plebe on this planet, it makes you unique. Most people are the way they are because they follow other people's examples because they're not intelligent or coherent enough or willful enough to be their own person..being different only means that you don't conform to societies normalities... but who is to say what is normal and what isn't, maybe it's us who are normal and everybody else that isn't....

It is perfectly normal. Or i would go ahead and say it is the rule of nature that every one is different. To site a simple example do you find even two leaves of a tree being exact replica of one another? You would not find. Same thing is with people. Every one is different, every one is special, Some people may pretend to be like others but it can never be reality.

Absolutely is. To not be forgotten, be different, do you know ? Imagine this world with everyone being the same. Boring, right ? The difference - you, color this world. Always remember that and be proud of who you are, never change. "If you are lucky enough to be different, never change." Taylor Swift said that.

Everybody has different features emotionally and physically you are never different of left behind because you have a weakness or a part of you that makes you different. Different is good because everybody that is the same is weird and doesn't have the qualities you have because you think differently, feel differently, and act differently!

Everyone is different and unique in their own way. In our society today, being special is considered a bad thing, repressed. It is important to remember that being individual should be celebrated. Try connecting to people of similar interests, and I'm sure you'll soon discover you're not as "different" as you may have thought :)

It is normal for you to be different from everyone else because no one is the same, we have different ethnic backgrounds, religions we come from, different food preferences, likes and dislikes and even different style of outfits to speaking different languages and our smartness and where we may fall as well as different trigger points can arise too.

Everyone is unique. Anomalies and normality are just concepts. You are different and special and that is nothing to be embarassed of.

Being different from everyone else is completely normal and I understand very well. Being different is not a bad thing, it means that you have your own special features within you that no one else has. And I understand that you may feel overwhelmed right now but it will get better, I promise. And if you ever need any additonal assistance, you should check out the 7 cups guide, it will really help you out a lot. What makes you feel different from others? Everyone is different in their own way and it is a good thing, it is normal!

Everyone is really different from everyone else. Our diversity is what allows us to solve problems and adapt to new situations. And at the same time, no one is that different from anyone at all. We’re all human - we all are made of cells. Our brains tend to work in similar patterns. We all (unless this being read in some strange future) inhabit the same planet. We are all jut living, no matter what that means for each individual. So try not to worry about whether you’re the same or different to the general population. Just live, whatever that means for you.

The truth about differences in people/individuals is we all have something different to offer and all offer our own unique take on life, personality, beliefs, morals, opinions etc. No two people are alike. Saying that, social norms which are an accumulation of what a bunch of people deem "normal" is actually a fallacy. You being different is normal and many have felt the exact same way you do. Maybe your version of different is what this world needs. Maybe it is you who is normal and others are different? truth is we are all normal and all different and we are all perfect in our own way.

How different it is exactly? You should know that difference can be a unique thing too, which is amazing. So why worry? You may or may not be different , it's alright:) this is when we say *be yourself* , no matter what. You've a unique identity and be proud of it. Your question is, is it normal for me to be this different from everyone else?, Even if you are, why do you care if it's different from others. They're all different too. They're not conscious of their identity, their way of living, then why do you think so much? ..... Relax yourself and enjoy life being whoever you are. 💖😃

Of course it is! I know what it's like to be an "outcast". I know that it's hard, but keeping your head up will help you to stand up to bullies and even make new friends!

Everyone is different, and what is perceived as the norm isn't the same for every person. Are you comfortable with who you are? Are you happy with your life?

Everyone has their own body shape and personality type. Just because your's may not fit into the niches of those around you, doesn't mean it is any less spectacular.

Everyone is unique. We all have celebrations, challenges and experiences that makes us who we are. There are no two alike. We should celibate each others differences.

I am sure it is normal. Everyone is unique and there is not a single pair of people that would be the same. Naturally, everything has it's pros and cons, but you have to be more optimistic about it. You are unique :)
