....encouraged to repress some of the characteristics that mark us out as different. Even if our parents are enlightened enough to encourage a sense of individuality, we may decide for ourselves to play all this down when we go to school. The children who stand out from the crowd are often the ones who get bullied. All so very wrong, especially when that bullying encroaches well into adulthood.
There may be many reasons why you have learned to repress some talent or proclivity but there is a far greater reason to let it loose. How can you be successful if you are not truly being yourself?
The opinion that other people have of you is their problem, not yours.
