When people say 'You are different.' or 'You are strange.', do you, by any chance, feel different or strange? Do you begin to question yourself?

Look around. You will notice that not only you but everyone is different too. Some has a knack for writing then some has a flair for singing. Some sleep a lot and some sing pretty well. Some are into general knowledge then some are an expert in relationships.

Every one of us is unique in one or the other way. So, the bigger question arises here is - how do you accept your uniqueness?

In other words, how to accept yourself? Here are a few key steps to to just that - 1. KNOW YOURSELF!Sounds funny and maybe a bit ironical, right? After all, you live with yourself 24 hours a day through the 365 1/4 days of the year. How would you not know yourself?
That is the trick here : You may NOT! You can be aware of your hobbies but do you know what kind of a person you are? What sort of people you want to connect with? Whether you are a social person. If you are an introvert then what subjects you like to concern yourself with? If extrovert, which subject pisses you off? 
Believe it or not, there are myriad of aspects of your personality that you may not be aware of. That is why knowing yourself is the first and vital key step to accept your true self.2. BE FEARLESS!Fear is an equalizer. Be it a job or communication, we are always afraid of one or the other thing. 
But do you know that you do not need to be afraid! 
In order to embrace the true self, letting go of fear/s is another key step. For example, you might be afraid of letting your mother know that you don't like to be treated in a certain way or in telling your friend that you'd like to opt out of the group study idea. You are afraid that they will get angry which may cost the relationship.
Know that not putting your concerns/thoughts out there is equally damamging. More you burden yourself with unnecessary fears, more you are layering your unique identity with unwanted emotions. 
Be fearless! It's as important as wanting to be treaded fair.3. BE RATIONAL! Being rational helps you realize your hidden potential. When you are able to tackle people, situations or relationships in a tactical way, you project yourself as a confident person, someone who knows how to be in the space provided. Many people, believe it or not, do not even know how to just be! They feel as they will crawl out of their skin if someone blames them for something, anything. 
Staying calm and focused are the two very effective ways to deal with the challenges. 

A secret? i too was afraid to accept my uniqueness but now i am learning a great deal about it. 
Accepting your uniqueness has endless benefits such as:It makes you confident.You realize your true potential.You can design your life according to you (and not others).You discover a rare freedom within yourself.People get to see you true self and find easy to connect with.You become OKAY with imperfect things of life.Being fearless helps you communicate better.Less of - stress, anxiety, sleepless nights, sadness, loneliness etc.You are fine being on your own.What's your story? How do you accept your unique self? Do drop your views so that we can connect easily.
