People say "Stand out, be unique" while others say "blend in, fit in". It is good to be yourself, but I feel like society now has gone the opposite direction which is why people on tiktok are faking mental disorders; because it's rare and quirky. For example: if you're a girl and you like dresses, and most of the other girls like dresses, it's not a bad thing to be like the others. If everyone in a room was sitting down and one person stood up, suddenly they're unique. But then everyone copies and suddenly the majority has changed; everyone is standing up. So then to stand out you have to step onto a chair and the cycle goes on.
Society puts too much pressure (well at least in the west) to be unique and be quirky (heck there's even an entire subreddit dedicated to this) and I think something needs to be done about it. Follow the cheesy message of "be yourself", but don't feel bad if yourself acts like or dresses like a large group of people.
Also acting like your oppressed to give yourself attention is utter bullshit.
