We've all been there - most of us more than just a few times.

1. When everyone else is sporting a new trend, and your mom got you the off-brand version.

2. When you realize all it takes to be in the cool kid posse was a complete wardrobe change.

3. When you're squirm your way into a group picture with popular kids only to find yourself sticking out like a sore thumb.

4. When you finally feel like you've successfully done all the right things to blend in, but you're still just waiting for someone to call you out.

5. And then they do.

6. When you have a week of just not giving a shit about any of it.

7. And then the next week, it's back to your A game.

8. When you get on a streak of being "convincingly cool" but still don't feel cool.

9. So you get sick tired of the popular group and start hanging out with the skater kids and wallflowers.

10. But despite your best effort to learn how to hacky sack or do an ollie, you don't feel like you fit in with them either.

11. Maybe you don't have a "group," you realize.

12. Maybe your friends are just a bunch of other "misfits."

13. You think to yourself, "yeah, this is my crew."

14. Then you start to notice all the other posers trying to fit in and failing miserably.

15. And you wonder if you looked as stupid as them when you were trying to fit in.

16. Yeah...you did.

Don't worry, we all did.

17. But that doesn't matter anymore, because you don't need people you don't even like to tell you how swaggtastic you are. You already know.
