Social interaction is something that all humans need to survive. We are social animals! This need can be difficult to meet when you feel like an outsider or if you feel like you do not belong. Finding your place in the world can sometimes be a life long journey, and it is worth pursuing. We all have a reason for being and finding that can be one of the most satisfying things you can do in your lifetime. If you need help with this I am happy to assist.
This journey begins within your own heart, not out in the world. Those who look outside themselves for answers, go without. Upon inner reflection and getting comfortable with yourself you can begin to explore the outer world. Just because you are going through some motions like going to school, going to work, and doing activities does not mean you are exploring. So what do I mean? I mean once you discover who you are, sharing that with the world and looking for loving acceptance. If you have found the acceptance within your heart then you will find it in the world.
I like to think of my life as a rose bud unfolding, revealing its inner beauty. So now that you have decided to share yourself with others then get out there and re-member. Join groups that interest you and give your all. Keep the groups limited to a few that you are passionate about and become passionate about them. Volunteer in the community, be active, and most importantly do this from authenticity. This means be honest with yourself about who you are and share that even if it is non-conforming. It does not mean that you try to be different, it means that you be yourself without concern that you will be accepted, because you have accepted yourself!
Once you have accepted yourself all else is gravy! If someone objects or questions who you are that is fine, because what they think of you is none of your business. Objections and resistance from the outer world is simply a sign that you have more inner work to do. Do not waste your time attempting to change them, instead go within and change your own heart. You will be amazed at the reception you get from the outer world when your inner heart is healed! 😉 Sequoia Elisabeth
