The importance of Individuality

One of the core traits of mankind is that they will always strive for material things to make themselves feel good. Another one of the main traits of mankind is that people are always striving to do more and to be better. As people observe those around them, they see traits and accomplishments in them they aspire to have themselves, causing them to be envious of others. This leads to some people becoming driven or desperate to act and become like those they are jealous of so that they can receive affirmation from their peers.

The best way to counteract these negative tendencies is to begin to recognize and acknowledge your own strengths and talents that one else would have. Accepting and valuing yourself for being different greatly increases self-esteem and confidence for anyone who feels unworthy of themselves. This would also change and improve people’s inhibitions and anxiety as they would be more confident themselves to be able to do whatever they set their minds to. If people learn the true value of individualism, it would forever change social communication and the way people see each other.
