I often try to convey originality "
in their language". There are obviously numerous examples other than the "nerd", Facebook-ster and nightclubber stereotypes, and I'm simply saying that what individual people really want can be achieved in a diversity of ways

Hmmm... as far as I remember my philosophy lessons at high school, Socrates would call this "maieutica" (---> focus on what really matters)... but before arriving there, before being able to see that, some people do need to perceive the fallacies in the logic of their fear based mind-set (in socratic language, this would also be called "aporia").
Maybe some people can skip that step, and find what really matters in one shot... but you never know (especially amongst us youngsters in early adulthood, filled with expectations about career, roles and other clichés)
EDIT:
Oh, and I forgot to point out at one thing...

This is also what I once tried... the problem is that this attitude is often misperceived
by them as a patronizing behavior.
And that's where communication (in their language, in their logic, etc.) comes into play.
