Don't Be Afraid Of Your Weirdness... | R...

MATTHEW HUSSEY
About this episode

Many of us feel the pressure in life to be "normal". Especially in love where we may want to sand off our edges for dating apps and appear like everyone else. But I'm here to tell you... It's ok to be weird. In fact, it will probably be what makes you stand out and do interesting things in the world. Or maybe it's the secret to your creativity, your productivity, or what makes you charismatic. If you copy everyone else, you end up safe, watered down, generic. So if you struggle with the social pressure to conform, this is the episode for YOU!
