why do misfits have to do things or change the world? Just be a misfit for the sake of being a misfit. Just be yourself.
You're trying to fit misfits into the same type of homogenous box that school systems put kids in.

Please don't do that. The world has enough people trying to be unique and quirky for the sake of it.
> Just be yourself.
Yes, do this.
Good luck with that.

"Be your realself" bears the same psychological paradoxes and pressure than "be yourself". Check http://beyondgrowth.net/identity/be-yourself-but-not-because... for a casual approach.
Now that I'm in my forties, I definitely feel like I am more myself than I was in my twenties.
You make it sound like it's mutually exclusive. You don't need to express your authentic desires or to fulfill them to be a psychological healthy person.
I stand by my point that we are always ourselves, wether we want to hide what we call ourselves or not. And hiding it isn't a problem in itself. Reality boundaries are healthy to our desires of "total desires".
It's normal to be stressed out by the limites life impose on our desires.
