hello all,
what does being "unique" mean to you?
i do not mean literally, though that's acceptable too, i mean moreso what it means to you personally. what's your relationship with the idea?
i know quite a few people who feel a need to try to be unique, while others, like myself, find themselves in a polar opposite mindset.
to me, being unique is an anti-individualistic & anti-conformist quality. uniqueness, to me, is someone who is themselves. they are who they are because of what they enjoy at heart, and build their identity and personality based on what they feel drawn to.
these unique people are some of the most intriguing people i've ever met. uniqueness gives a person's character substance... they are not shallow or superficial, or conforming to whatever is valued.
i like being unique. i am unique because i simply am — to some it comes naturally. identity is very complex, and uniqueness comes in a variety of ways.
really, i could talk about it from various standpoints, but my phone is on 7% and i also would like to not be talking out of my ass if i bring up anything informational or something as fact.
