“OTHERNESS IS MY STRENGTH” suggests the idea that diversity or being different from the norm can be a source of strength or advantage. The term “otherness” typically signifies the state or quality of something or someone being different or distinct from others.
1. EMBRACING DIVERSITY: It may imply that a person sees their strength in diversity, whether it be diverse experiences, cultures, thoughts, or personalities. This diversity can contribute to a unique perspective or creativity.
2. CONFIDENCE IN UNIQUENESS: The person uttering this statement may believe that their unique qualities, diverging from the majority, are a source of strength. This could include the ability to understand and accept differences, as well as adaptability in var-

3. RESISTANCE TO CONFORMITY: It might suggest the individual’s stance against con- forming to societal norms and an assertion that their strength lies in rejecting conformity.
