What are self-identification as outliers?

Self-identification as outliers means figuring out what makes someone or something different from the rest, like when you're the only one who likes pickles on pizza.

Imagine you’re at a party with all your friends, and everyone is eating plain cheese pizza. But you have a slice with pickle slices on it. You look around, and no one else has that. You might think, “Why do I like pickles on pizza? Are they weird?”, but actually, you're just being yourself, even if you're different from others.

An outlier is someone or something that stands out because it’s a little different. Like the tallest kid in class who wears a hat to hide their height, they’re still themselves, but they might feel like they don’t fit in.

Sometimes people are outliers not because they want to be, but because others don't understand them yet. But that’s okay! Being different is just part of being yourself. You can still have fun at the party, even with pickles on your pizza.
