We Are Wired For Connection
We’re wired for connection, but let’s be honest—sometimes, “fitting in” feels like the only way to find it.
The truth is, trying to fit in isn’t the same as belonging.
Fitting in is all about changing who we are to be accepted.
It’s saying, “I’ll twist myself into whatever shape you need me to be so that I’m not left out.” But here’s the hard part: when we’re constantly trying to fit in, we lose touch with who we actually are.
Belonging, on the other hand, doesn’t require us to change a single thing about ourselves.
It’s about showing up as we are and finding a space where we’re valued for our true selves. And sometimes, not fitting in is actually the bravest thing we can do because it means we’re choosing our own path over someone else’s idea of who we should be.
Yes, not fitting in can be painful—our survival brain loves the comfort of a group.
But being okay with not fitting in means trusting that we’re enough, exactly as we are, even if we don’t get everyone’s approval.
It’s knowing that we can stand alone if we have to, with the integrity that comes from honoring our own values and truth.
It’s okay to be different.
It’s okay to feel like you’re walking your own path.
Because when we stop trying to fit in, we make space to truly belong—to ourselves, to people who see us, and to a life that feels real and right.
