Fitting In

When we are with our friends or people we do not know, it is human nature to want to ‘fit in’. We like to feel we belong and part of belonging is having things in common with others in the group.

However, sometimes wanting to ‘fit in’ can actually make us do things we don’t feel comfortable with; behaving in a certain way or saying certain things. When this starts to happen, we are compromising our individual thoughts and values.

There are ways to feel we belong without needing to agree with everything others in the group say and without going along with things that go against what we believe, think or feel is right.

Today we will be looking at by being ourselves is important. WE ARE ALL UNIQUE!

Thoughts, Opinions and Feelings

Do we all think and feel the same things?

Do we all hold the same opinions about things?

As we are all individuals, we all have our own thoughts, opinions and feelings. It is OK to think and feel differently to others – we are all unique!

We should respect the thoughts, opinions and feelings of others, even when they are different to ours.

Listening to and respecting the thoughts, opinions and feelings of others helps us to get to know and understand each other better and live and work together more happily.

Although being unique and an individual is a good thing, there are times when this can feel more difficult. A person can be torn between being an individual and 'fitting in'.

What do you think the person should do when faced with the following scenarios?

Scenario 1

Scenario 2

Scenario 4

Statements of ways to confidently and politely express a different opinion, thought or feeling.

I respect what you are saying but in my opinion...
I understand what you are saying but my personal belief is...
From my personal experience...
I do think you are making an interesting point. However I feel...
There are parts of your opinion I agree with. However, in my experience...

I really enjoyed hearing your opinion. I find it interesting that we see things differently.

Our individuality means we all have our own thoughts, feelings opinions and interests. These can be shaped by the special people in our life but ultimately they are unique to us!

Our uniqueness is what makes us special and it is very important to feel confident about being an individual. Be happy to be you – you are wonderful!

You can complete task 1 or task 2.

Task 1

Draw a picture of yourself in the inner box and write all the things which make you unique in the outer box.
