Do you often feel like a misfit and outsider? The below quotes about standing out from the crowd will inspire you to celebrate your uniqueness and follow your path no matter what other people think.<\/p>\n
Our society has always been driven by conformity. This behavior is in human nature and has evolutionary roots<\/a>. In the distant past, it helped our ancestors form communities and survive in the harsh conditions of the wild world.<\/p>\n Conformity is the reason why we intuitively trust the familiar and pull away from the different. It’s the reason why “normal” people follow the unwritten rules of socially accepted behavior and support the conventional views. As a matter of fact, these rules and views that constitute society’s agenda are constantly changing, so a “normal person” is expected to keep up.<\/p>\n As for the weird ones, the misfits, the freethinkers<\/a>, the loners – they just don’t care. They are not interested in conforming to what is considered “normal” today, keeping up with trends, and following the crowd. They just remain loyal to themselves.<\/p>\n I could never blend in with other people and fit in with the crowd. While this made me feel inadequate<\/a> during my teen years, now I realize what blessing it is.<\/p>\n If you have a hard time fitting in just like I do, read these quotes about standing out from the crowd that capture the beauty of being different and the futility of conformity. They will encourage you to stay true to yourself and remind you that if you refuse to follow the crowd, then you are probably on the right path.<\/p>\n
