If you're tired of the ways fitting in has you bending yourself out of shape - particularly if you're in one of those many environments in the world that talk about change while maintaining a dogged insistence on speaking, working, observing and practicing in long-standing, familiar ways - some words of support adapted from George Bernard Shaw:
Reasonable people change themselves to fit the world. Unreasonable people change the world to fit themselves.Therefore all progress depends on unreasonable people.
