How are you different from others?

Very interesting topic. 

Others consider me different from other women of my age groups just because i don't give importance to make up. Usually i put only kajal. Its only when i ve to attend formal social programs that i apply other light make-up. They also consider me unusual for being very regular in my job and also for showing less interest in social gathering. 

I am happy the way I am but sometimes I feel I should improve my sociability.

Im different from others!!

In my age my friends use to spend lot of money for shopping, junk foods, clothes, electronic items etc., but, i will not and i use to shop only if it is really essential and unavoidable. clothes i will buy very rare may by yearly once but i will keep a stock of new clothes which i will wear on special occasions. My friends use to keep on changing their smartphones every 2-3 month once but I use a smartphone for more than 4 years and till working good.

It is a fact that no two individuals can have the same traits. Can two individuals have same fingerprints? The answer is no.  Similarly, no two individuals in the entire world or perhaps the whole of the universe can be perfectly same. We often hear couples confidently mentioning that they are same. We can often see two friends saying that they are perfectly same and thus they perfectly gel with each other. Two people can be almost same but not completely same. There is a very fine difference between almost and complete.

How boring life would be if all of us were similar ...it is these differences that make life interesting and also teach us to adjust and compromise..

@Reena and @usha manohar Yes, no one can be absolutely similar. It will be certainly quite boring if we all are of a same type. Even I think some twins are look alike but their each and every trait can't be totally same. With friends we do share some similarities in our liking and disliking that's why we gel along with a selected few. Well, I have started this thread to see how much we know ourselves. Wishing to know how you are different from others.  

I was very reserved candidate during my schooling days & had 1 or 2 close friends where my life essentially revolved around School & home, reading stories has been a rather interesting activity each year with new english textbook coming every year, I used to read it before hand. Despite being in the same school for 10 years, I hardly had any friends in touch after schooling!!!

That is rather shocking for me when I reflect back, but now things have fared much better & I realise how introvert I was, nobody in the class was as reserved as I was. I was like a new student till 10th. I used to be happy to count my english & other subject marks except Maths where I fared bad.

I think these are the 2 areas in which I was different.

I socialize very less. As my age is advancing, I am starting to enjoy my company the most. If by chance I socialize, it gives me a feeling that I have wasted my time today. I guess I have answered your question. I am very different from others in this aspect.

Yes, you have appropriately answered my question. See, how different we are. Some love to socialize while you love your me time. That's quite interesting. I too need my me time on each and everyday but I love to socialize though only with my very dear ones.    

Each person is different from another person and that is what makes us unique. For me, I think I was always ahead of others in my thinking, especially in school and so was considered to be different by others. I hate it when people go in for mob mentality and even now, I don't follow any kind of trend but do only such things that I feel right and comfortable with. While on the other hand, I see that most people fall for trends just because they are in fashion, not caring whether they are the right things for them. I guess that makes me unique from others.

Everyone is born unique and so am I. Well, scientifically I am different as I have different DNA and fingerprint.

I was going through all the posts in the thread and I found that there are so many things I share in common with others here and still I am so different. I do not put make up, I prefer not to follow mob mentality and trends and I do think ahead.

I am different and I am happy in my own skin. Though I would like to improve some of my traits, there is nothing that I would like to change about myself.

One thing that I notice about myself is that I accept things the way they are and move on positively.

That certainly makes you unique.

Believe me I was waiting for this question. As Arunima wrote that she found many common traits with rest of the members on this thread. So, do I but still I consider myself different from others just like Arunima does. I am a very considerate person but in certain situations I prefer to have my say. I am a very simple person and extremely against any kind of show off. There are many more differences but would like to disclose them in the future posts.

I can sense the simplicity in you which is the best trait I feel. Waiting for more responses in the future.

@Reena I don't know on which parameter you judged me but I am thankful to you for considering me as a simple person. I am indeed simple in my way of living, in communication, in dressing style, in eating habits and so on but no one should dare to mess with me on any issue just by considering me to be a fragile being due to my simplicity. Knowingly I will not hurt anyone but if I do so unknowingly then I will be the first person to say sorry. On the other hand if someone deliberately misbehaves with me then I will make that person realize the fault. I am happy in my space but I am very tough when an intruder consciously tries to dig a hole within it.

I judged you on the parameter of that simple sweet smile of yours. It's nice to know about you through your last post.

Wow! It's heartening to receive appreciation for my smile from a senior member like you. Thank you very much. I am like this only, if I have something to say then I say it very openly. Never ever have a desire to hide. 

I feel that we all are different because each of us goes through different experiences in our lives. No two humans are same and the reason behind it is that they just can't be same. DNA, socioeconomic conditions, environment, all play a major role in deciding who we are and who we will be.

Right or wrong , I have always been a rebel and extremely frank and forthright in expressing my opinion , which has had it's own flip side. I now try to be more diplomatic but it is not easy ... But , I have never ever been judgmental of people or issues ..
