Stopping wanting to conform

Question, at what point in your life did you stop caring about conforming to what everyone else was. At what point did trying to fit in and be like everyone else stop mattering to you, or is it something you still care about?

  • Middle of my teens. I had tried so hard to fit in and the result was more bullying to the extent it became a physical attack, result was a bloody nose, swollen and cracked lip... So from that day I stopped tryingto be them, to be popular and cool, and became myself. Went from the girl trying to fit in to the girl who just kept her head down and got on with her own life. Eventually the bullying stopped. I'm still like it now, I don't need to be like someone else, I'm me and I rock Grin
