Confidence is a tricky subject.
Overconfidence is definently my biggest pet peeve in life,
And people who aren't confident enough make me upset.
Let's look at the picture I put at the bottom of this post.
There are a bunch of little fish.
Obviously,
One of them stands out from the crowd.
And everyone admires the fish,
But the fish isn't so colorful that it distracts the other fish.
What if some of the other fish have jealousy issues?
If I were the orange fish,
I certainly wouldn't want to act like a rainbow fish in that situation.
The other fish would be jealous of all your colors,
And you would just be swimming yourself into a big problem.
And you definently wouldn't want to be a camouflaged fish either.
The other fish most likely wouldn't be able to see you,
And you would collide with another fish and come crashing to the ocean floor...
Be a happy medium fish.
Don't be afraid to show some color,
Just not too much.
And not too little.
Now in case you didn't get this whole analogy,
The color of the fish symbolizes confidence.
Being a rainbow fish is like being overconfident.
It will convince other people not to like you because they either get jealous,
Or you just annoy them for being so bold.
Being a camouflaged fish is like not being confident enough.
People will probably not even realize you are a part of society,
And you will start to feel like nobody cares for you.
So let's be an orange fish.
People will want to be your friend,
But they won't get jealous of you.
Maybe they will want to be more like you even(:
But in a positive way.
And everyone will be sure not to pull you down,
Because you are making sure that you are a part of society.
And you will feel loved,
Because everyone wants you for a friend.
So let us be orange fish,
Or green fish,
Or purple fish.
Anything that will make us feel confident in ourselves.
See ya!
