The simplest way to increase happiness in the world? Teach the opposite of this. Teach people how to NOT ‘fit in’. Fitting in is the source of pretty much all of our unhappiness and suffering. The reason the advice we get is the opposite, is that the people who run the world and write these articles are the weak folk who do fit in. Who don’t rock the boat, who turn a blind eye to the world’s bullies, hoping for a life free of conflict. It doesn’t work, the conflict just becomes internalised as they compromise their true selves to the bullshit requirements of their social groupings.
