Try your best to use (personal) differences to connect with those around you, not to differentiate / "elevate" yourself in comparison to them. Your differences will not leave you if you allow them to connect with others. Trust your differences, i.e. yourself to stay. Trust in the quality and worth of your differences, and those of others. Trust them enough to let them flow, to let them become. You are the processes of your differences' becoming. To love yourself, you must love your processes. To trust yourself, you must trust your processes. This is the way to the connections you seek. This is how to keep becoming what you desire.
