When I say this I don’t necessarily mean that you have to exfoliate and scrub until your skin is clear. It may help ultimately, but it’s not what we’re talking about today. When I say that you should work on being comfortable in your own skin I mean that you shouldn’t be bothered by the things that make you unique, even if they aren’t the same things that make other people special.
It’s hard to be someone “different” when you’re surrounded by a lot of the same. It can often make you feel like an outsider, especially when you are in the minority as far as your personality.
The first step to being comfortable in your own skin begins with a piece of paper and a pen. Draw out a T-chart for all of the good and bad attributes in your life. See if the good doesn’t outweigh the bad. I’m pretty sure that it will and if it doesn’t ask someone you’re close to help you come up with more pros. It’s often the case that there are good things about us that we can’t see ourselves.
Remember that it is normal to feel like you have things about yourself that you’d like to change. No one is perfect and even if they were it’d be annoying as heck. Focus on the things that make you the best person you can be and while you should never ignore the faults you have you shouldn’t focus only on them either.
Surround yourself with people who are like you or at least have the ability to appreciate the things that make you different. If you have a morbid sense of humor make sure that the friends you take are those who either have the same or can at least appreciate jokes about dead puppies. It’s not for everyone but as long as it’s for you you shouldn’t feel badly for being yourself.
When you have taken one of the steps you need to in order to be more comfortable about being you acknowlege your hard won understanding. Treat yourself, give yourself a little pat on the back, do whatever makes you feel good. It’s a freat fhet, conquering yourself and you should be proud of the effort you have put into making a better man or woman for the world.
It’s always much easier and much more fun to work towards a goal that has incentives so set yourself up to get something you’ve been craving when you are able to accomplish a goal.
The most important thing to remember when you are trying to work on being more comfortable in your own skin is that it is an ongoing process. It’s not something that you really “win” or “finish,” but rather something that you have ot get up and work on everyday. When you reach one milestone you should always have another one waiting in the wing. We are all different, the only real question is how we show it.
