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.

being unique izzz a very complicated term like many others, and that if i were to dissect it, id probably fry my brain in the process.. heres what i think though, although its rather perfunctory ^_^💧

from how i see it, uniqueness within group settings is not real. there will always be some sort of group dynamics that youll be perpetuating with others, but uniqueness depends on solely you ! its a concept i dont really have an opinion about.. though, i do think that trying to be unique is respectable; as it goes against the instinctual want to fit in with society :> fitting in with the mass is basically hardwired in your brain as you seek the security and comfort it gives you, so seeing someone standing out is interesting!
