Is it good to be different?

I did not have an outstanding early school life. Being a skinny kid and introvert did not helped at all. My low self confidence affected the way I think about myself which was not much at that time. My fellow classmates were like any other active, normal and michevious bunch. Being different is painfully lonely at times. Often leaved out in games and party. It was not because they purposefully isolated me but I was the one shying away from joining. I felt that I did not mattered. We all yearn to belong to someone or something . To stand outside of the circle makes you feel not important and unwanted.

Is it ok to be different? I outgrew my insecurity through many years of working on my inner self. Got myself involve in school clubs and taking various leadership role which slowly boosted my confidence. I have learned that focusing on building others was a great way to achieve this.

Today, looking back, I am glad that I kept putting myself out there, challenging my invisible boudaries what we call comfort zone. The uneasiness was the cue that something need to change. Just like my current project of doing a series of Vlog on personal motivation. It reminds me of those days when I felt uncomfortable again because I have no experience yet. However, we all learn and grow from the mistakes we make.
