Here’s my theory, feel free to smash it to bits.
Everyone strives, at some level, to be unique. So the more you try to set yourself apart from the rest of the bunch, the more you become one with said pack.
The thing is, we are already unique. We all have beautiful minds, each worth exploring. And we all have our own thoughts, each one of them being ours. Naturally, we all have a lot in common, and we are all alike to some extent, but that’s not the part we’re talking about.
The thing is, you will not become unique, or any more unique — if you’ll let me get away with that phrasing — if you dye your hair pink, or wear high heels in winter, or pierce your tits or the tip of your cock. Rather than trying to change stuff that does not matter anyway, try focusing on others, and how you make their lives better.
So, the less you do trying to become unique, the better your chances are at staying that way.
Of course, you’ll still be part of the group of unique people and nothing can set you aside from that one.
Bummer, eh?

uniqueness…just like titties. they all look quite similar, but you won’t find one tit that’s exactly the same as the other, not even on the same person
)
but thinking about it…what do titties do to get unique…nothing, actually. they grow up to a point, like written in their genetic code…and, well…dangle about. they do what comes natural. and this is what uniqueness is about.
stormrider, precisely. In funny way, being yourself is enough to be unique.
Took me a while to figure this out, but most people wrongfully equate uniqueness and loneliness – i.e. the more alone they feel in a given situation, the more unique they assume they are.
However, as you said, there is absolutely nothing wrong with belonging to a group who share the same fondness of something, because every single individual perceives it differently. I think if more people came to that realization, they would be much happier, if only because they wouldn`t be embarrassed about enjoying mainstream music or a Hollywood blockbuster.
ily, right you are! And on the topic of blockbusters, many, if not most, blockbusters are such successful simply because they are genuinely good movies. Shunning away from them, just because they appear to be mainstream, is silly!
