Thanks. I have my website and am working on a book series that has begun exploring individuality. Of course, I occasionally get called "selfish," lol, but those are the types of things one must master, not identifying with the alphabet+ people
Part of it is recognizing that we are not wholly individuals. We are social and interconnected creatures but you wouldn't know it. The looks that I get for saying "Good Morning" to people that I pass on the streets. Please explore the concept of individuality, it will be rather interesting no doubt especially with all of the present evidence of extremes.
A great essay about color psychology, monochrome culture, celebrity/influencer culture, and conformity/individuality.
I think most who use their identity in some way today are really conformists even though they think they are not. It is just the current thing.
True individuality is learning your strengths, weaknesses, skillset, and having quiet self-confidence.

Bingo MM. It's like thinking your musical taste makes you a rebel . . . and then going to a concert with 75,000 other "non-conformists".
Great comment and completely echoes my sentiment. What a great, cogent, and perceptive article, GC!

I do talk about the importance of community. It goes along with it, i.e. social creatures.
