i dont conform much i do my own thing most of the time but some times i do, like this party im going to i was asked to come and the only reason i said yes was because of everyone else going. Thats what in my eyes see as conformity.
Nah that's not conformity. That's having no balls!
And it's a weird example.... it's strange that in your original post you complain about having to conform to rules and conventions.... and then the example you give is something you are actually choosing to do.
You've complained about conformity taking away the right to express your individuality, yet you don't have the guts to say "I don't want to go to a crappy party" to your mates. Just doesn't make much sense.
I guess that's the difference between you and me. It never bothered me to stay at home on a Saturday night on my own, rather than do something I didn't want to do just cos my mates were.
You'll think I am, but I'm not having a go, I'm giving you a different perspective. You have to ask yourself if your real issue is with conformity in society or the fact that sometimes you aren't strong enough not to conform when you don't have to.
Something to think about.
