We bet everyone has subconsciously felt the need to fit in within a group of people, whether that be among your classmates, teammates, or simply your friends. At times, you might feel the compulsion to wear whatever your friends are wearing, to speak the way they’re speaking, and to sometimes act the way they act. And that’s okay. It’s all a part of growing up - we all go through this confusing phase in our teenage years. However, there can be a negative effect that subconsciously arises with the desperation of popularity, that may persistently affect and possibly change many aspects in your life; may it be your personality, your mindset or even something as simple as your wardrobe. We believe the most important takeaway is to find your way back to your values and passions in order to stay true to yourself.
