Feeling like a square peg trying to squeeze yourself into a round hole? Yearning to fit in? To belong as opposed to fitting in, is one of life’s big challenges. It’s one that everyone experiences at some point in life.
The thing is, you have to change your values and behaviour if you’re trying to fit in. If you have to change your core values to fit in, then you are betraying yourself. You are not living your truth. This is not sustainable.
It takes a lot of energy and effort to pretend to be someone you’re not; to play a role that does not resonate with your soul. It drains your body, soul and spirit.
You don’t need to fit in. Instead, find your Soul Companions.

Your Soul Companions are people with whom you share a deep sense of connection, common interests, values, and mutual understanding. Finding your Soul Companions is a process of discovering and building meaningful relationships with people who resonate with your authentic self and with whom you feel a sense of belonging.
Here’s what Soul Companionship means, and where to locate your Soul Companions:
Soul Companions share similar values and interests. Soul Companionship consists of people who enjoy similar activities, hobbies, or passions, making it easy to bond and engage in meaningful conversations. They share similar values, beliefs, and principles, creating a foundation of mutual respect and understanding.
Soul Companions provide emotional support during difficult times and celebrate your successes with genuine joy. They understand and accept you for who you are, without judgment, allowing you to express your true self.
Finding your Soul Companions gives you a sense of belonging. It eases feelings of isolation and loneliness and creates a sense of community where you can collaborate, share experiences, and grow together.
Soul Companionship encourages personal growth and development. It challenges you to be your true self while providing a safe space to explore new ideas, share constructive feedback and perspectives, and act as sounding boards for each other. And you can access the collective wisdom and experiences of other souls, and their valuable insights and guidance.
You might find Soul Companionship with friends or family who share similar interests, in say, music, sports, art, or other hobbies.
Soul Companions can be found in colleagues or peers in the same industry who understand the unique challenges and opportunities in your field.
Soul Companions exist in support groups formed around shared experiences or challenges, such as parenting groups, recovery groups, or health-related communities.
Soul Companions can also be found in online communities and virtual spaces where people with similar passions or interests connect, such as forums, social media groups, online clubs, societies or associations.
Finding your Soul Companions is about more than just having friends or acquaintances; it’s about connecting at a soul deep level with people who enrich your life, understand your journey, and support your aspirations. And vice versa.
Your values influence your thoughts and feelings, and drive your behaviour. Your values represent your truth. They reflect your true self. To belong is to be accepted as you are, without having to change yourself to fit in.
