yes there are some people that try to be different. However the truth is that everyone is different, recognizing those differences doesn't mean anything is wrong with you. I recognize that i am different than most of the people in my culture, however i also recognize that i fit snugly into certain subcultures (metal and punk). I guess you could say i 'try' to be different because i consciously chose to wear denim, leather, boots, etc. However I just like the way that clothing style looks. Probably because my mommy didnt hug me enough

Because I was bullied throughout middle school for doing my thing. I have permanent mental health issues because of it. Being different isn't something I aspired to be. I tried to fit in plenty of times til I realized the world was just full of a bunch of judgemental assholes who were going to put me down regardless of what I was. So now I take pride in who I am. I don't judge people for drinking beer, or working at mcdonalds. The only people I judge are the ones who can't wrap their head around the fact that none of it matters. The ones who are getting up in my face in the first place and telling me what I need to aspire to be, and what will make me successful, and what religion will bring me happiness like there was some kind of objective path in life. I hate that shit. It's not conformity I hate, it's lack of tolerance for those who don't that I hate

I see it around here as well, people trying so hard to be artistic, unique, a snowflake. Were you people not hugged as a child? What makes you try SOO hard to be so against conformity in any way shape or form? And better yet who the fuck are you to suggest those who buy McDonalds, Drink shitty beer, watch football, are somehow beneath you? 
Grow the hell up. I have a hard time believing the majority of our users are 16-18, and if you really are over that age bracket its time to realize you are a normal fucking person and while you may do some things that are unique.....you are no different than the rest of us 
But you ARE special. Only YOU can make posts so consistently vapid, pointless, and degrading. Seriously, I can remember all of the names you've used here; I don't have to be told who you are, because you're the only one who makes posts this ridiculous.

As Joie put it, no two minds are the same. But as unique as one individual might be, there's plenty of other people with similarities. Everyone does something the same way as someone else. We're all human when it falls down to it. Nobody who thinks they're unique stands out from the rest of the world.

Everyone compares themselves to other people to some degree, we see what we like and don't like in them and we do our own thing.
You're criticizing people trying to rise to their own potential, downplaying creativity and rejecting ambition as cries for attention, and guess what? It's coming off as a cry for attention of your own.
You wanna know how I'm different? I have an insanely sharp memory and tested in the upper percentile of everything I've done academically, I'm an unintentionally published author, I dropped out of school to pursue entrepreneurship and haven't had to work for anyone else in years. I've managed and lead people since I was a teenager, people with white collar degrees who were twice my age.
You could definitely find a few people who are similar to me, but I'm objectively not average and I am different and unique even from the people who could make similar claims. Sorry that you are not.
Go on, call me an egotist now because I defended the fact that I am in fact, different from most people. I'm still not the one here who thinks he's better than everyone else.

Pff what kind of a degenerate mind wants to appear different. Thats how they spot you with their special cameras and software designed to make an educated guess about your interests based on your general appearance or search history.
You gotta look the same or be truly anonymous.

I know I'm not special which is why I try to be different. No I don't think I'm better than anyone. I want to be artistic since its all I know and I don't want to get a job. Yeah that's right, I don't want to get a job and contribute to society, does that hurt you? I want to be different and I will continue to try to be, deal with it.

What is op trying to do? Make people feel bad? See his perception of 'the truth? You just have a cynical view on people. Embrace creativity and get out of your 'everyone is pretentious everyone is full of themselves' state of mind.

The thought of being different or special or whatever doesn't even cross my mind, probably when I was younger I might have seen things differently. Why is this thread even made, like I don't see where you're pulling this from OP. Now that I think of it, I'm pretty sure this thread was inspired by a certain poster you don't like but really why even waste your time thinking about this stuff. Just try to focus on your own shit and be happy, why even dwell on stupid stuff like this. Just be happy or pursue things that make you happy, have fun and laugh about things, why be pissed over silly things?
