Of course I would tell them.

There is nothing wrong with you.

There is nothing wrong with what you think, or what you say.

Express your opinions.

Your opinions are part of your growth phases, and authentic growth occurs when you accept your phases.





So I know the quote at the bottom by Dr. Seuss sounds a little cliche, but if you'd set aside your pride for a moment you might get something out of this. Also (like most things in life), try not to interpret things too literally. Self-expression and individuality is good, but if it becomes conflicting or parasitic toward others... you've got some introspective work to do. And while I cannot do it for you I can give you a hint: self-love is unconditional, never limit that. However the "chiseling" of yourself (growth in humility) comes only from empirical interaction with the world around you. That's all.

"Be who you are and say what you feel, because those who mind don't matter and those who matter don't mind." -Dr. Seuss
