You can't just decide to have it, can you? Individuality.

Being called 'unique' or 'individual' now is truly enviable.

In anything, people with strong individuality really stand out. For better or worse.
Standing out means, in today's world, you have an advantage in whatever you do.

If you write a blog, your individuality will make you stand out, right?
If you plan something or create an original business, you'll stand out, right?
Even when you talk, you'll stand out, right?
Even if you do YouTube or something, you'll stand out, right?
What you're communicating really stands out, right?

Having individuality makes you really stand out! This is especially true when communicating something online!!

But that's similar to being born handsome or cute.
People's individuality changes depending on their environment.
You can't choose your upbringing until you're old enough to understand, and even if you could, you wouldn't know if it would lead to individuality.

So, even if people shout 'It's the age of individuality!', many probably don't get it.

It feels like it's being called 'the age of lucky people'.
It has qualities similar to personality, and it's not something you can just decide to have.

That said, is there really no way to acquire individuality later on?

That's what I think.

Individuality isn't something you can just add or change later.
Just because it's the age of individuality and you're told to 'be individual,' it doesn't mean you can easily change yourself.

But still, it's definitely more convenient to somehow acquire 'individuality.'
You won't get lost in the crowd. People will remember you.

I tried to think about how one could acquire the weapon of individuality later on.

Acquiring individuality later on is extremely difficult, though.

But since it's convenient to have, I'd like to think about it.

When I suddenly think about it, there are people in this world who can turn their individuality on and off.

Actresses, actors, and comedians.
They might be individual on stage, but backstage they can be quiet or not particularly noticeable.

In other words, humans can turn their individuality on and off if they're motivated.

I think acting as an individual self, even if not to the extent of actresses or actors, is possible with training.

However, since it's difficult to create individuality from scratch, it could be in the form of copying someone else's individuality.

In fact, I also「Boost Your Abilities in an Instant! What is the Copying Power to 'Become' a Capable Person?」wrote an article like that, and it's true that I've often overcome challenges by 'becoming' someone else.

Therefore, if you copy the individuality of someone you feel you want to be like, humans should have the potential to create individuality later on.

So, specifically, how can you copy individuality? That's the topic.

First, let's thoroughly observe and analyze.

I guess it all comes down to this.

Anyway, carefully observe the person whose personality you want to copy.

Observe their personality, actions, expressions, movements, and even their statements thoroughly, so that you can instantly imagine what kind of actions or statements this person would make in a given situation.

When people are with someone they like, their actions and statements tend to become similar, don't they?
If it's a boyfriend or girlfriend, their statements might even overlap.

I think that ultimately means it's possible for someone to trace another person's thoughts.

So, observe thoroughly, feel it, and make sure you can imagine what that person would do.
Analyze and observe until your actions and statements naturally become similar.

First, if you don't do this, it won't even start, right?

Practice by meeting and talking with someone, or by writing a blog.

Once you've input, it's time for output.
With that person's personality, actions, and statements input, try acting it out.

How would that person think?
What kind of actions would a person with this personality take?

Continuously be aware of it and try acting.

It's quite difficult to keep embodying something that isn't yourself, but if you continue, it gradually becomes natural, surprisingly.

For example, improving writing skills or learning English requires continuous awareness at first. Similarly, a 'personality' that you want to embody cannot become natural to your body unless you continuously remain aware of it.

Well, of course, I think it's fine to rest if you're tired, and time spent without conscious awareness is also important.

However, generally, the longer you spend being consciously aware, the faster you will acquire the target personality.

This applies not only to actions but also when you want to express personality through online posts or blog articles.

If you want to write something like this in a text, it's important to first observe and then output while being thoroughly conscious. The more you output, the more you'll be able to create similar articles.

The same goes for other skills.

Even in sports, if you want to play a certain way and fully embody it, you can achieve a certain level. So, if it's something you can dedicate time to, like a creative style, you can definitely do it.

Go ahead and imitate the personalities you like.

Personality can be added later. The problem is whether you can suppress your true self.

While you can't express your fundamental personality completely, you can physically take the same actions as the person you aspire to be.

That's right, isn't it? If there's someone acting in front of you, and you act and speak in the same way, you'll be categorized as a similar person.

You can't become that person, but you can embody them as much as you want.
Furthermore, it's possible to switch it on and off.

By playing the role of that person, let's learn the art of suppressing your original self and bringing out another self.

I think some people might find that difficult.

However, in reality, everyone living in society does it.

How many people actually have only one version of themselves?

I think there are very few. And it's not a society that allows for that.
To a greater or lesser extent, there are multiple 'true selves' hidden behind the facade.
You just need to add new personalities to those multiple selves.

For those who think, 'I don't have any personality.' Even if you can't create it from scratch, you can try to embody one. Please give it a try!
