Why do we feel like we have to blend in?

I had a major problem with this my freshman and sophomore year. I did not want to be seen, known, or even looked at really. Freshly awkward out of middle school, I was not aware of the difference high school would most certainly bring.
     But, eventually everything comes to an end, like did my shy personality. It was if something fell off the shelf inside of me, and I suddenly needed a friend.
     So why? why do we need to feel like we cannot stand out?
My theory, is that everyone has that fear, to show thier true self and personality, but most of us do not have the bravery to actually let our light shine.
there are so many people now-days that are so consumed in their outwards appearances that they are afraid to show what is truly on the inside. For some, showing their true personality could be a sign of weakness, or perhaps they may be ashamed of who they are.

I guess what i am trying to say is, do not be afraid to make yourself different, and to let go of the stereotypical wants of society. Wear a crazy outfit, or maybe even do something that you could never see yourself doing.

Tell someone that you love them

I bet that got your attention!
