I've always been a non-conformist as well as individualistic. Probably to the extent that it scares most people.
I think humans are naturally weak and desire trivial things to please themselves, as well as trying their hardest to fit into a group of people. I always say work toward getting what you want and try to be part of a community, but also check yourself. Make sure you prioritize being a good and moral citizen, because that's what matters more.
