During my driving lessons a few years ago, my instructor told me something that was kinda profound, he said
while driving I should asumme that I'm the only
sane road user and every other person was not normal
this was seemingly a safety mindset he was trying to imbibe in his rookie driver at the time.
I've had my fair share of relationship and friendship which has brought Me to some conclusions about being different. Sometimes when you're the only sane person in the room its like you're the only insane one, because how can you probably speak the language of mad men?
Standing out from the crowd has never been an easy task as people get tagged all sorts of names because they probably do not talk like every other person does, they do not look like every regular guy would, they don't act like the masses and dress like them, they are the guys who sit alone duribg kunvh breaks, or that fellow who is always reading and has no time to socialize. This has resulted to people being stereotyped and called all manner of names like, Nerd, Judas, Jew, weirdo, strange e.t.c.
After a quick study and survey I discovered that the problem is not us the "nerds" , the problem is with everyone else out there who expects everyone to do things the way they dim fit. Everyone has an opinion on everyone else, they expect you to like a certain way, talk a certain way, act a certain way, love a certain way, dress a certain way and be interested in things that also interest them and you see that's the problem. Until they grow up to understand that no two persons are created the same way and no two persons is ever the same the stereotype will never stop. But this doesn't mean we are going to change because of them its better to be a nerd than to be one of the herd, if being different is a disease then I'm infected.
Embrace your difference, stopped being pleasers of men, anyone who will love you would love you, for you and if they don't well that's their loss. You just enjoy being you, you are better being your Original, u know how just one original can make a million copies in the copier machine? You'd be shocked to know that those who mock you are walking miles in other people's shadows.
