Many people tend to imitate others. However, if you want to avoid stress (and have a lot more fun), try to be yourself. There are many ways to express your personality - through clothing, speech patterns, and hobbies. Make your choice and feel free to express your personality.

Steps

Part 1 of 3: Wear Unique Clothes

1. 1 Get your favorite garments out of the closet. If you were asked to put together an ensemble of garments in which you feel comfortable, attractive and confident, what would you choose? What style would you see in your outfit? Is your chosen outfit really vintage? Does it match the current fashion trends? Do you have an avant-garde look? Choose clothes in this style, as they suit you best.
2. 2 Buy clothes from second-hand stores. No matter what your favorite style is, you can find unique pieces of clothing at second hand stores. Thanks to this, you will not worry about meeting a person in the same shirt as yours. In such stores, you will find more interesting things than those that can be purchased in a regular mall.
   • Follow your instinct. If something unique catches your eye and you like it, buy it! Try not to lose confidence at the last moment. Put on the item you purchased at least once.
3. 3 Choose clothes without a branded logo. You should not buy branded clothing with a logo or a brand name written on it. Your clothing will not be unique if it has a logo that indicates that the item belongs to a particular brand. Look for shirts and T-shirts that are unprinted unless you really like the garment.
4. 4 Create your own clothes. Try yourself as a fashion designer. Take a sewing and sewing course to learn how to sew garments from the material you like. Alternatively, you can try creating a new garment that doesn't require sewing skills. For example, cut your T-shirt or T-shirt in an unusual way, and then try wearing it over another T-shirt. You will be proud of yourself and highlight your individuality.
   • You can also try dyeing your clothes to make them look more interesting, or using decorative items that are attached with a hot iron. These decorative pieces can be purchased at a fabric store.
5. 5 Do not give in to the pressure of others who insist on the need to be fashionable. Don't think that every piece of clothing you wear should be fashionable. If you like the way leopard-print trousers are paired with a striped shirt, then allow yourself to wear these garments. If you like to wear black garments, do it with pleasure. If you want to be an individual person, don't be afraid to be different, even if you have to consciously take risks. It will also help showcase your inner peace.SPECIALIST'S ADVICE

   Focus on style, not fashion. Style expert Candace Hannah says: “If you want to express yourself through clothes, the first thing you should do is determine what you look and feel best in, from styles that suit your figure to your favorite colors and drawings. If there is something that you hate, do not wear it, even if it is in vogue now. "

Part 2 of 3: Act as an Individual

1. 1 Take time to do something you love. Do not hide from others that you love collecting stones, making furniture, or practicing Tai Chi. Even if all your friends are going to play football or dancing together, you shouldn't force yourself to do it if you don't like the activity. Tell them what you do and why you enjoy the activity. They may also want to try something new for themselves. In any case, it's good if your hobby is different from your friends' favorite activities.
2. 2 Listen to the music you like. If you like a certain genre of music that is unpopular with your friends or doesn't play on the radio, this is not a reason to give up your favorite music. Don't be afraid to listen to your favorite music in your car when you pick up your friends. If they ask you about it, don't hesitate, just tell them that you like this kind of music.
3. 3 Decorate your personal space. Your bedroom, study, desk, or locker should reflect your personal style. Paint the bedroom walls your favorite color. Use decor items that are related to your favorite pastime, such as collecting coins or figurines. If you have your own desk or office at work, hang posters or frames with pictures of your hobby.
   • Purchase special décor for your dorm room or locker at work or school that won't damage the surface of your wall or piece of furniture.
   • Place a whiteboard in the room on which you can write down the inspirational or funny quotes you like.
4. 4 Surround yourself with people who accept you for who you are. Your friends can either be like you or be completely different. However, in any case, real friends should encourage you to be yourself. They shouldn't force you to do what you don't like. These people should do whatever they can to ensure that you show your personality. They should not suppress it in any way.
   • Put it to the test: Try telling a friend about something personal, like the biggest fear in your life or an unusual dream. If a friend laughs at you and says it's silly to think about it, chances are it's time to find a new friend.

Part 3 of 3: Give your opinion

1. 1 Be prepared to voice an unpopular opinion. If you disagree with what others have to say, say so. Perhaps you don't like it when others make fun of someone, or you may have a different opinion on a political issue from your friend's. Of course, it's okay if you agree with other people, but if you don't completely agree with them on something, don't be afraid to tell them about it. Do it with respect.
   • For example, if your friends prefer to dine at a certain restaurant, but you do not like the cuisine of that establishment, you can say, "I do not like this restaurant."
2. 2 Use the vocabulary you are familiar with. How do you usually talk to yourself? In the same way, you should talk to other people. Don't be silent in the presence of other people and try to speak smart and interesting thoughts.Use words you like instead of popular slang phrases you don't like. Also, don't use long words that you don't understand.
   • If you like using slang or expressive speech constructs, you can. Just make sure that you always say that in everyday life, and not just trying to imitate someone.
3. 3 Share your real feelings. If you cheat by talking about your feelings, people simply won't be able to know who you really are. Think less about the reactions of others. Also, reflect on how expressing your true feelings helps others understand you better.
   • For example, if someone invites you to go out to dance and you don't like dancing, tell them. Invite the person to do something else so that he does not take your refusal to heart and does not take offense at you.
