how to be special person
March 10, 2022If you’re like most people, you’ll do anything to be special in some way. But what is the best way to do that? There are a lot of ways and we’ll talk about a few of them, but we don’t know which one is the best. Maybe the answer lies within you and what your tastes and preferences are. The following paragraphs will give you some pointers on how to go about it.
What it means to be a special person?
What does it mean to be a special person? If we take the word “special” literally, it doesn’t sound very good. A special needs person is usually defined as a disabled person, like a blind or mentally challenged one. However, when we talk about being a special person in an abstract sense, it means you possess some characteristics that make you different and above the rest. It’s not necessary that you possess all of the listed characteristics. It’s most likely that you’ll possess one or two of them and they will be prominent in your personality.
Identify special characteristics in others
How can you identify special characteristics in others? It’s very easy, really. Just observe people around you and look for something that makes them different from the person sitting next to them. For example, if you’re talking with a person and he’s saying something really stupid or boring, look for another person in the room that’s doing something interesting such as reading a book or talking to another person about something interesting. You’ll definitely find one if you just look around for a few minutes.
Make a list of your values
What values do you have that make you special? Again this is an easy one. Just look within yourself and write down all of your values that are special to you. It’s not necessary that you’ll have a lot of them. It’s most likely that your list will be short to medium length. We’re pretty certain that you’ll have at least one or two values that make you special to others, whether you know it or not.
Values can be your inner feelings or maybe something you were taught from people in your life. Perhaps you were taught how to value something from a book or someone told you about a person of importance who valued that particular thing much more than anyone else. How can you get your values? It’s best to think about what is special about you and start by identifying those things that make you feel happy.
Take off your masks
Now that you’ve made a list of your special characteristics and values, it’s time to take off the masks. Masks are things people wear to hide their true identity and as a result they become invisible. Everyone wears masks, but some wear them longer than others do and therefore they forget who they really are or where they came from. It takes a lot of courage to take off your masks and once you see who you really are, you’ll also discover that others see the same person. You’ll be able to live without wearing any masks for the rest of your life.
Keep your ego in check
Like we said before, everyone wears masks to hide their true identity. They wear them for so long that they forget who they really are and where they came from. This causes them to lose touch with reality and their ego takes control of their lives. They don’t know where they are or where they’re going and they let their egos tell them what to do. For example, if you ask a person what he wants out of life, he would probably say something like “I want to put food on the table for my family and retire like most people do.” But that’s not really what he wants out of life. His ego is telling him those things and he’s just following along like a mindless zombie.
It’s time to get back in touch with reality and take control of your lives. The first thing you need to do is take off your masks and see who you really are. The second thing you need to do is get your ego in check. When you take off your masks and get your ego in check, you’ll find that others see the same person that you see. You’ll understand who you really are and where you really come from.
Tips to become special
a. Follow your heart
There’s something very important you should know: Everybody is special in their own way, and the best way to be a truly unique individual is to always follow your heart, even if the majority disagrees with what you want to do and the rules say otherwise. Different people have different ways of being special, and it’s important that you find out what your own are before you start trying hard on ways to be different from everyone else. Knowing what your own are, and then pursuing them, makes you an original and special person in your own way.
b. Don’t let anyone change who you are
First of all, it’s important to know that no one can change you unless you want them to, because only YOU can really change yourself. You may not like yourself very much right now, but the best way to change your self-image is by changing yourself. You don’t need other people to help you do that; it’s something that only you can do for yourself. For example: Let’s say people around you say negative things about your religious beliefs or ethnic background. No one can change your beliefs or heritage, but you can change them yourself by proving to yourself that they are wrong.
c. Make yourself better
Once you’ve changed your self-image and no longer see yourself as being “bad”, “stupid” or “disgusting”, then it’s time to take care of your appearance. Let’s say people around you have told you something bad about your looks or personality. No one can change those things except for YOU, because only YOU have the authority over both of those things. You’re the only one who can make yourself better looking and smarter by making the changes in yourself instead of waiting for someone else to do it for you.
d. Respect yourself
Once you’re better looking and smarter, it’s only fitting that you respect yourself as well. Let others disrespect you as much as they want, but always respect yourself and other people will respect you as well. It’s human nature to do so because we all know that there’s very little in life that is worse than being a person who doesn’t respect themselves or anyone else. Make sure that you’re not one of those people by keeping your pride in tact at all times and treating yourself the way you’d like to be treated by others.
e. Help others
You may have heard the saying “people are alike. They’re all alike!” while growing up in America. That’s true, but only just slightly above the truth. We all have our own personality that can’t be changed no matter what we do to try and be different from everybody else around us. People aren’t generally nice to each other for no reason, so it’s best that you make a habit of helping others. By doing so let them know that YOU are different and YOU are special.
f. Create your own environment
If you feel the need to surround yourself with people who like and support you, then create your own environment instead of letting other people give you their opinions about what your environment should look like or how it should work. If you want your room to be a certain way, color, or shape, then do it yourself because if you don’t then no one else will do it for you. No one can make your environment better than you can. You know what’s best for your environment than anybody else because only YOU are there during the time of day when the sun shines in through your window.
g. Surround yourself with people who support YOU
When creating your environment, it’s important that you surround yourself with people who truly care about the things that matter in life and support those things as well. By being around people who support you, you can be assured that they will be there for you whenever it’s needed. If you’re into good music, then surround yourself with other people who like the same kind of music. If you’re a sports lover and always have been then surround yourself with others who love the same sports as well. If you want to get into politics and your friends don’t, find new ones instead of trying to change your current ones.
h. Don’t be afraid of being different
A lot of people are afraid to stand up for themselves or what they believe in because they think it’s going to make them a “bad person”. Well, guess what? It doesn’t. If you want to be different from everyone else and don’t care if people think it makes you a bad person, then by all means go for it! But only go for it if it’s something that you truly believe in and support 100%. Don’t just go along with things just because most people are doing them otherwise you’ll be a follower who doesn’t take control of your own life.
i. Be who you are
Last of all, it’s important that you be who you really are as much as possible. No one can be someone else for very long before everyone around them starts to notice and loses interest in them if they’re not even trying to be the person that they want to be. Be yourself, because everybody wants to know a person who is true and honest with themselves and others. People love those kinds of people! The more real you can be, the more loved you’ll become by those around you.
Everyone has a different personality and character. Some people are more shy than others, some people are more outspoken, and some people just can’t stand being told what to do. Some people are more loyal than others, some people are more selfish, and some people don’t care about anything at all. We all have things that make us unique and make us our own person. The thing about personality is that no one can change it if you don’t want them to. That’s exactly why it’s said to be something that you can change for yourself instead of waiting for someone else to do it for you.
