As someone who is studying sociology this is going to be something that goes a little away from what is expected. Sometimes in life we need to recognize what is needed for us. Sometimes we have to stray away from the norm and from what everyone else is doing.
In society we see so many expectations. We might be expected to the follow crowd and to go with what everyone is doing, but sometimes that is not going to help us. Sometimes in order to grow or to do well we have to change the path we are on and we go against the path that society has laid out for us. Sometimes by straying from the path we are able to find who we are destined to be and we become happy.
If you are struggling to fit with in with those who are around all the time do not worry. Maybe you are not meant to be like them. Let it be and stay true to who you are. Why conform to others when you are not meant to conform?
