Dare to be Different: Counseling in Society

In society today, there is always someone or something telling us how we should be, should act, and what should be acceptable. There are memes being shared on all social medias about what you wear to be considered “in style” or what you should expect from a relationship for it “to be perfect.” Everyone wants to have “relationships goal” or to “slay all day.” But what do you really want for yourself?

How To Become More Different?

It is normal to want to fit in with the “it crowds” we all want to be seen on the inside instead of the outside. But, at the same time we all want to be ourselves. In counseling you can learn to be yourself and to be proud to say you are different. Knowing who you are and standing up for who you are as a person makes you stand out far Research shows that a person that has confidence in themselves will show a dramatic shift in their lives and their emotional well-being will improve. This means greater happiness for yourself, so if you think you are happy being one with society, then imagine the happiness that can be given when you are different for yourself.

Counseling is a safe place. It is available so that people can learn more about themselves, become stable and life, and be happy that they can be different. Counseling will help you regain sense of control and regain you your identity for greatness.

Showing The Way To Be Different

I’m sure you have heard many times “just be yourself.” It sounds like it should be something simple to do. Well not everyone is able to do so simply because of what society has claimed “to be right.” The real person has been covered up with society’s condition-based thinking and behavior. It reminds me of those pictures in the magazines of the celebrities and the headline reads “Who wore it best?”. Did anyone wear it better? Or did they wear it the way they wanted to look and be different?

Everything is not meant to be the same. If it was supposed to be the same, then we would all look and wear the same. And even then, someone will dare to have change. Being different recognizes who you really are as a human. Counseling helps challenge society, learning to be different helps overcome issues to make life meaningful. It shows what lies beneath the surface. Being different is being willing to take a risk. Having confidence to be able to show society who you truly are as a person.
