I know how hard has it been for you. All these years you've been trying to figure out what you could do best to stand out. You have been looking for ways on how people could notice you and your work. You're seeking attention.

You've been longing for someone to look at you and praise you when you are doing great, laugh at you when you've done something funny, correct you when you're wrong, and cheer you up when you're feeling down. It's the kind of attention that no one has ever guessed you would want.

When everyone is looking at you, you always want to be your best and not commit any mistakes because you know they are looking at you. All eyes are on you and the moment you made a mistake, you will be judged.

In the eyes of many, you were nothing special and you're not someone to look up to. Some believed in you but many despise you out of jealousy. You've heard unacceptable things that made you upset about yourself.

You were left alone to ponder upon what people thought of you. Before, you didn't care even for a second about what people may think of you. You were confident and no one has ever thought that you weren't.

It has been like this that you've inclined yourself into reaching out to them. You've learned to imitate what their doing, act like how they do and speak like how they would. You completely changed yourself to fit in.

Is it a good thing that you did so? Are you happy? Everyone finally acknowledged you and treat you like one of them. Don't you feel like you have lost something?

> __"Why are you trying so hard to fit in, when you're born to stand out."__ - Oliver James

Why do we always try to fit in? Is it necessary so we could feel that we belong and not alone?
