Sprout Therapy PDX

We're told over and over that we should celebrate our differences.

And we're also told over and over that different is wrong and we all need to conform.

Yeah, confusing.

But we're all different. There's no changing that.

So what makes you different? Do you like the things that make you different?

Why or why not? Thinking about these questions can help you reframe how you think about your unique qualities.

Whether you're starting a new school, a new job, or just being out in the world more—feeling different can be uncomfortable.

Let us know something different about yourself and why you like it in the comments!

What is it about trying new things that make us so anxious? 😳

We'll be bad at it.

We won't like something that everyone else does.

We'll look stupid.

It pretty much all comes down to being afraid of what other people will think.

And yeah, sometimes we get laughed at or criticized—but not as much as we're afraid of.

And sometimes we find something we love! 🤩

There will always be new things to encounter. Try thinking about it in a new way.

It's an opportunity to learn something about yourself.

What were you afraid of trying that turned out to be great?
