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?

  • It takes your life over trying to be like everyone else. I figured that out midway through big school so I stopped that and started enjoying being myself and embraced my little oddities that make me the adorable chap I am. Innocent It worked for the best, lovely girl at school started noticing me because I stood out amongst the others. She came up to my table one lunch and said "Hi. I like your hair. Do you wanna get a sandwich after school?" I'd been going for a spiky haircut trying to be like all the other guys at school but decided I was better off with my normal swept back style. That lovely girl with the brown hair and sparkling eyes is now my wife - not conforming and just being me led to a happily ever after for both of us. Moral: always be yourself because it's the real you people like.
