I was asked “How do you come to terms with the fact that you’re just ordinary?”
My answer is: Help others.
Very few people actually do this. That means that you’ll no longer be ordinary. In fact, you may appear to be extraordinary in the eyes of those you help. You can help build houses, give blood, raise money, visit isolated folks in nursing homes, staff phone banks. The need is literally endless.
Another possible side effect of helping others is that you’ll stop worrying so much about whether or not you’re ‘just ordinary,’ or how you appear to others. Knowing that you are contributing to the world can help you worry less about how others see you.
Do a web search on ‘volunteer opportunities near me.’ you’re almost certain to find something that appeals to you.
