#DifferentDefinitionsOfDifferent

Here's what you fellows said when asked about what it means to be different:

"Eh, why?" 

               "What's it to you? Well, I think it just means to not care what others think. Or to be unique?"

"In trying to be different, one often ends up being like everyone else who is trying to be different. Being different means finding your own unique self, letting it shine and trusting that it is enough."

"It means to not be indifferent."

                                        "To be different means to not be the same. So if someone is "different", they are not the same as you. Often people are labeled "different" in a negative, stereotypical way, while differences can actually help you appreciate life with new perspectives."

                        "To be different: distinct or separate, not alike in emotion or type."

"Here's what first comes to my mind when I think of the word different: Displaying uniqueness, most often in a social setting; going behind or beyond what is commonly accepted as normal or average in society. Can have negative or positive connotations." 

                                               "Being HAPPY with who you ARE."

"Different to me means: Doing things (hobbies, jobs, desires) that others are not used to.....is that enough info?"

                          "For two people or things to be unalike or varying in nature, form, 

behavior, or quality."

                                       "To be different for me means to be yourself. No one else is like you. So being different means being true to yourself rather than trying to be like everyone else (and thus not being yourself)."
