Just Be You: En refleksion over konformitet

I have chosen this topic because I can relate to it, and many other young people can also relate to this, that we not always are fitting in.

Conformist Tendencies

People who strive to fit in are some of the controlled people you’ll ever meet. They tend to follow the flock and are highly influenced by other people’s opinions and they couldn’t formulate their own regardless of what other people think. They seem to be more concerned about what other people think about them than how they feel to themselves.

For the conformists, the only critical thinking needed involves how other people may view their perceptions.

Just Be You

Why is it so important for people to fit in ? Why is there a list of characteristics that we all have to have? Why can’t we just be different. Why can’t we just be ourselves without being perfect? Not everyone can be blonde with blue eyes, wearing a size 0. Not everyone has that advantage. So why are we all going the distance and putting our all into trying to fit in when really, there is no perfect… That word shouldn’t be used anywhere. Just look around us. You don’t just see blonde hair and blue eyes. You see black, white, and brown everywhere. Different sizes, different heights, different faces. Each and everyone one of us were created differently. We were each put on this earth with a different face, a different body and a different life. So what I’m not perfect. I don’t fit in with society and I’m proud of it. I KNOW who I am and I’m not gonna change that. I know I have flaws and I know I’m not perfect… And you know what, I’m okay with that.
