Social media can often force us to compare ourselves with others, to put a number to our worth, a number of likes or a number of followers. But were not objects and we’re not here on earth for other people to decide our value for us. You are your most valuable when you are being you, not trying to measure up to societies standards.
So I hope these Be Different Quotes can help you to realise that you don’t need to be anyone else, and you shouldn’t want to be.

Thank you Becky for those beautiful words.
I particularly liked the one by Kurt Kobain,
“You laugh at me because I am different. I laugh at you because you are all the same”
I think it’s a great reminder for all of us.
The harsh truth is that many people seek validation from others. Thus, instead of being 100% honest (with ourselves and others), we try to fit in.
Basically, we hate uncertainty, and love certainty.
So what can we do?
One of the solutions is increasing our self-awareness and self-knowledge.
I’ve found that to be truly helpful.
Best,
Maxime
