We are all like snowflakes. No one snowflake is the same as the other. This means that we are all different and that's okay. Why would you want to be like the others?

You can't be like the others because you are not. Everyone is their own unique person and no one should have to change to be like another.

Why can't you be like others? Because you are you. You are a strong and amazing human being. You are interesting, with your own story and I know sometimes you want to be like someone else, but what if the person you want to be like, simply wishes they were you?

Religion teaches us that we were all created to be individuals. Biology tells us that genetic variation is the reason we are all different. Whatever your belief whats true is we are different because thats the way it is supposed to be. Rather try to embrace it ;)

Most people attempt to relate themselves to others and in turn put themselves down for it. Sometimes people completely forget that there is a reason you are not like someone else. Everyone has positives to them that sometimes cannot be taken and given to others. You have a unique strength, do not wish for others but instead, appreciate your own.

Because each and everyone of us is different and brings something unique to the table. If we were all the same, the world would be a very boring place.

Nobody is the same. And being just like others will only make the world bland and boring. Nobody wants that. You are amazing just the way you are. I know it may not seem like it, but you were put on earth for a reason and these little bumps in the road...its all a part of YOU and YOU are amazing . Amazing in every way loves. Its more than OKAY to be like the others. Be yourself. BEaUtiful

Because why should you be like the others? You could follow their positive points and still be you. Everyone have their difference and you're not wrong just because you're different.

You don't need to be like others and that's why you can't be like others. Every soul is unique here. Even twin babies cannot think/do same thing.

Why would you want to be like the others? We are all born with a unique spark. We were not made to fit in, but to stand out and embrace and express our specialness.
While it may appear others might have something that you don't, it might be their mask that you are seeing. The worst thing you can do is compare yourself to others. Just focus on yourself and embrace who you are, the dark the light, everything.
If you feel alone where you are, you are not. There are so many who feel the same way you do. Just be you and you might attract those in the same boat.
