Whether the individual is a person who chooses to be different for whatever reason(s) versus someone who is born different, that person has to often make choices as to if, when, and how much that individual is willing to compromise beliefs, behaviors, etc. in order to \u201cfit in\u201d and\/or be accepted by mainstream society (or even a subsection of mainstream society). These issues, as well as topics related to this concern, will be discussed. Suggestions as to possible avenues for increased satisfaction with one\u2019s self, regardless of which choices a person makes concerning that person\u2019s \u201cself\u201d, will also be made in this podcast.<\/p>\n\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"mr_social_sharing_wrapper\">\n\t\t\t\t<!-- Social Sharing Toolkit v2.2 --><span class=\"mr_social_sharing\"><span style=\"display: inline-block; width: 51px; height: 21px; overflow: hidden;\"><div class=\"fb-like\" data-href=\"http:\/\/www.rockandrollshrink.com\/?p=229\" data-send=\"false\" data-width=\"51\" data-show-faces=\"false\"><\/div><\/span><\/span><span class=\"mr_social_sharing\"><a class=\"mr_social_share_facebook\" href=\"\/\/www.facebook.com\/sharer\/sharer.php?u=http%3A%2F%2Fwww.rockandrollshrink.com%2F%3Fp%3D229&amp;t=Individuality\" class=\"mr_social_sharing_popup_link\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"http:\/\/www.rockandrollshrink.com\/wp-content\/plugins\/social-sharing-toolkit\/images\/icons_small\/facebook.png\" class=\"nopin\" alt=\"Share on Facebook\" title=\"Share on Facebook\"\/><span class=\"mr_small_icon\">Share on Facebook<\/span><\/a><\/a><\/span><span class=\"mr_social_sharing\"><a href=\"https:\/\/twitter.com\/share\" class=\"twitter-share-button\" data-count=\"none\" data-url=\"http:\/\/www.rockandrollshrink.com\/?p=229\" data-via=\"rocknrollshrink\" data-text=\"Individuality\"><\/a><\/span><span class=\"mr_social_sharing\"><div class=\"g-plusone\" data-size=\"medium\" data-annotation=\"none\" data-href=\"http:\/\/www.rockandrollshrink.com\/?p=229\"><\/div><\/span><span class=\"mr_social_sharing\"><script type=\"IN\/Share\" data-url=\"http:\/\/www.rockandrollshrink.com\/?p=229\"><\/script><\/span><span class=\"mr_social_sharing\"><a class=\"mr_social_share_email\" href=\"mailto:?subject=Individuality&amp;body=http:\/\/www.rockandrollshrink.com\/?p=229\" target=\"_blank\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"http:\/\/www.rockandrollshrink.com\/wp-content\/plugins\/social-sharing-toolkit\/images\/buttons\/email.png\" class=\"nopin\" alt=\"Share via email\" title=\"Share via email\"\/><\/a><\/span><span class=\"mr_social_sharing\"><a rel=\"nofollow\" class=\"linksalpha_button linksalpha_link\" href=\"\/\/www.linksalpha.com\/social\/mobile\" data-url=\"http:\/\/www.rockandrollshrink.com\/?p=229\" data-text=\"Individuality\" data-desc=\"The issue that Dr. Mathis tackles on this podcast is the issue of individuality and\/or being a \u201cunique person\u201d living in a world that may or may not understand, appreciate, or sanction the difference.
