if everyone's trying to be different, aren't they all the same?

Yes, that's where NPC's and blue haired people come from

@Demolishun true

Classic scene from Life of Brian: https://youtube.com/watch/...

Well being different often times comes down to "all being a new kind of weird together" which is just the same old sheep mentality.

Not necessarily

I'm just trying to be me 🫥

@MammaNeedHummus I thought you were just trying to eat hummus

@electrineer they're not mutually exclusive goals

@MammaNeedHummus I was wondering if they were in fact the same thing

Who tries to be different?!

Most people seem to try to be the same. Common interests, common fashion styles, common hobbies, etc.

There's lots of people who just want to be themselves, and don't care about social influence - good on them. But I don't think there's many who actively go "Ah - Brian likes playing tennis, I'm going to be different and never do that."

Unless Brian is a massive dick of course. Then they might.
