Why can't I be just like others ?

Sometimes all we wish is to be like someone else. "Oh, but I wish I had hair like her!" "I wish I had a body like him!" when in reality, being yourself is being the best person you can be. We tend to compare ourselves to others and make it so that we feel bad about ourselves. What if you would be as mean to others as you are to yourself? Try to be a little bit nicer to yourself. It will help you find out who you are and how beautiful you really are as a person.

No one single human being is exactly like the other. That's what makes us all unique. If you strive for happiness, come to an understanding of your flaws and embrace them. They make you different from everyone else. They make you who you are.

Why would you want to be like everyone else, when you can be yourself? "They all laugh at me because I'm different; I laugh at them because they are the same."~Kurt Cobain "I'd rather be hated for who I am, than loved for who I am not." ~Kurt Cobain

I guess the most obvious answer is, you're not them. There are certain characteristics of a person in which you can pursue- for example kindness, and that's probably what today's world needs most and you can easily be a kind person. If you're talking about aspects such as beauty, then remember that beauty is in the eye of the beholder. Nobody's perfect. Some people may seem beautiful to you, but to others they are not. Even if you try to be like them, you will still get reactions from both sides of the spectrum- those that love you and those that hate you. Everyone is made different because everyone has something to contribute to the world and you shouldn't try to change yourself because you're beautiful just the way you are :)

Everybody is different. I know how you feel. Sometimes I am so happy to be different. Other times I cry myself to sleep because why can't I just be the same? As long as you are happy with who you are, then it really doesn't matter if you're different. I know it's easier said than done, believe me, but it'll be worth it when you finally fall in love with yourself.

Feeling like you are different to everyone else actually MAKES you the same as everyone else. We all feel out of place at some stage in our lives. The best way to deal with that feeling in the short term is to focus on the things that you have in common with people you know. In the long term, try to make other friends (or find support groups) who embrace your more quirky side. I felt like some of my strict-thinking law school friends weren't fully embracing my loud and vibrant personality, so I made some theatre student friends and hang out with them when I need to let a little of the crazy out.

You are just like every other human being, you are a Person with feelings, thoughts, worries, goals, strengths and weaknesses. But we have our own differences. So in the same sense no one is the same. Everyone of us is unique the way we are. But If you are surrounded with people who have a hard time understanding it, its their problem.

To be honest I think, every single person on earth has something they struggle with. You are not alone either if its anxiety, depression, list goes on.... Everyone has something they struggle with.

While you may want to be like others, why would you want to change yourself for someone who’s just going to move on. Who will take over you? It’s fine to feel lost from time to time, but you shouldn’t think that others are higher than you. You are just as important as them, mind you that while we may not feel comfortable with ourselves the beat thing we can do is learn how to love our flaws the little things that make us unique. For if we were all meant to be the same, that’s how the world would be. Don’t change yourself if you don’t want. You are in control of you, not some person who doesn’t like you. “ What ever happened to just trying to just live your dream. When no one cared about a cover of a magazine... can’t you hear the sound of a thousand screaming voices eager to watch you succeed give them something real to believe” Woe Is Me. That quote works so perfect while people want to change you, others want to see you find yourself. Who are you going to follow?

If everybody was the same, life would be boring! Everybody has their special qualities, that make them unique, whether you're intuitive to people's emotions, good at maths, or good at making your little sister laugh - everybody is here to be unique and offer something different. Don't be like other people. Be like yourself.
