No one is perfect, at least for the crowd, so it makes no sense to ask for forgiveness for your individuality. A person who has formed a personality is very difficult to reshape attempts made from the outside, therefore it is better to remain yourself, while not harming others, rather than constantly apologize for your identity and try to adapt to the environment.
Apologizing for wrongdoing is a normal practice in a civilized society. But the individuality of a person and his difference from others are not a misdemeanor for which you should ask for forgiveness. Indeed, in this case, everyone would have to apologize for the color of the eyes, the timbre of the voice and other aspects that distinguish him from other people.
Feel free to be yourself
If you are not accepted in one team, it is not a fact that in another you will not become the soul of the company. Before you ask the world for forgiveness for the fact that you do not fit into someone's contrived standards, you should look for yourself elsewhere.
History remembers dozens of cases when future geniuses were not understood and were considered outcasts. But the same Dali was in no hurry to fall on his knees in front of ignoramuses far from art and apologize for his "daub". Rather, on the contrary, he was looking for his audience, which is what you should do. Fortunately, today it is not so difficult to find like-minded people, because communication on the Internet and even a trip to another country is a common thing.
The more you cave in to someone's standards, the less you will be taken seriously. And if your goal is not to mix with dust and dissolve in history, then get used to asking for forgiveness only when it is really appropriate. And with peaceful coexistence in a society, it is extremely rare to plead for forgiveness.
Do not look for yourself in people and do not dissolve in the crowd
If the question of guilt for your own uniqueness has already appeared on your agenda, then you have already been reproached more than once for not meeting the expectations of the majority. Is the opinion of this majority important to you? Ask yourself if you will be hurt by removing the hard-core critics from your life. If not, then you shouldn't think about their words at all.
It also happens that those who unsuccessfully try to adjust their surroundings to their own inferiority think about their own inferiority. Indeed, when the social circle does not lend itself to "training", there are times that you have to look for problems in yourself with the subsequent entry into depression. The cure for this, again, is a change in the circle of friends. Just as you do not have to be identical to society, so the environment will not adapt to you, you should accept it. And if you really have to apologize for jokes, specific tastes in clothing and music, and eccentric makeup, then it is especially worth thinking about changing the environment.
