It is not easy to become an independent person in the face of pressure from social institutions, social attitudes, obligations and authorities. However, everyone can develop individuality if they are not afraid to challenge the standards of thinking and acting.

Step 1
In a person, there are always several principles that make up the facets of his personality: animal instincts, adherence to social attitudes and individual traits. Many people who are very successful in life, at the same time, feel that over time, being within the framework of social institutions (family, educational institutions, then corporations), they lose their unique sides of character, under the pressure of external circumstances they cease to be themselves.
Step 2
Awareness of the problem is the first step towards solving it. If you want to develop your personality, remember your beginnings in childhood and adolescence. Pedagogy considers creativity to be one of the most important ways of developing a child's personality. Why not transfer this practice to adults? Moreover, at the present time there are many studios and sections aimed at developing their own "I": art, dance, theatrical, vocal.
Step 3
Stop being shy. Individuality is a set of traits, behavioral reactions, one's own style, manner of speech, gestures and hundreds of other little things that make up a complete picture. No one will notice your identity if you hide it carefully. Do not try to be like others, express your point of view, enter into discussions, offer your own options - most likely, there will be people who are ready to follow you and imitate you.
Step 4
Work on yourself. Watch your appearance, because an unkempt appearance, a neglected figure, clothes chosen without any style and gloss do not contribute to self-confidence. Develop speaking skills: learn to tell jokes and funny stories, try to speak in public (make toasts at holidays, read reports at meetings, etc.)
