Simplified Meaning:
Belonging means feeling accepted for who you are, while fitting in means changing yourself to be accepted by others. Imagine you love painting, but your friends only like sports. If you try to hide your love for painting and act like you enjoy sports just to be part of the group, you are fitting in. However, if your friends appreciate you for being a painter and support your passion, you belong. When you belong, you can be yourself without fear. It's important to find groups where you belong, not just fit in, because that makes you happier and more confident. This way, you are truly accepted and don’t feel the need to hide your true self.
