[Discussion] Can healthy humans truly be nonconformists?

[Kenotthib]

A friend and I had a lengthy discussion over the title to this thread. I feel like mentally disabled people can come the closest. And possibly the moment you become fully conscious of your own actions, the periods from childhood to young adulthood is when you lose your ability to be nonconforming in its purest sense. Anyways what do ya guys and gals think?

I somewhat agree. Nonconforming is kind of like conforming.

If you define a healthy person as being decently socially integrated into their community/society, then no. Everyone conforms to some varying degree in order to be socially cohesive individual and co-exist with others. Conformity is not entirely bad.

exactly. People do things, for different reasons.

No one is 100% fully nonconforming...there's a time and a place. A mostly/fully conforming person is someone with a subservient ego and can't think for himself. If I do ever "conform"...it's cause it's necessary, not really to "follow" anyone...just cause I see an actual purpose in it...or to avoid anything super unnecessary. If I don't agree with something, most of the time I just WON'T do it.

Sometimes, I don't care.

Well of course. Being healthy just means having good emotional health and being intelligent enough to make rational decisions. You could argue the men that chase after money and own 5 to 10 properties are all non-conformists, and so is the female that decides to wear a coat rather than a burkha. It's all about the doctrines of the land, religion or any other matter. As long as she is covered well, it's fine, so long as he is not breaking the law, he is fine.

Similarly, if they like ganguro or lolicon culture, then they can express themselves so long as they maintain social construct.

 

[Chikombo]

Yes. I think so.

 

[Donald J Trump]

I think this sounds completely retarded.

You had a friend put the battery in your back to make this thread?Lmao.

God that makes no sense. Do this, "stop thinking"...lmao, do yourself a favor. You couldn't be any more self-imagined than this...

So much twisted/deceptive logic.

Degen.




OT: I don't like conforming. It's not an act. It's not me trying to be unique, It's just something I was (perhaps) born with. Ever since childhood, if I conformed to something I don't agree with, I feel very guilty and bad and therefore this feeling of guilt has changed me to become the way I am, where I don't conform (consciously) that much. I hate being told what to do. In SOCIAL scenes, I'm a great guy, I have friends and I get along really well with people. However, in a professional or formal scene like schools and jobs, I have always been disliked by the top tiers because of my dislike towards authority and conforming to their requests. So, I don't know, you be the judge.

Conforming? The word is too broad to NOT do it. If people started a movement against it and went to extremes as far as living in forests, people could still construe it as conforming. It's just like as sports rise from some children trying something different, then years down the road, it's suddenly a sport with very specific rules and streamlined play. What I'm trying to say is becoming a "nonconformist" doesn't really entail some kind of special freedom(so much of everything is already "conformist") & may actually lead you to the opposite as you trek across things like indecent exposure or lack of money(aka options). I think anyone can stop conforming and do whatever they want, but I feel the same for murder. It would just put off options and people that you'd rather have though.

Charlatan.You're making this up.

I notice you low-key racially profile me. It's not even factual, just you profiling me, for the simply fact that I'm black. Like the "kunte kinte" avatar that you thought I would've been offended by. Too much attention-seeking.

You don't conform, because you like attention and you have jealousy issues, which you express through the use of twisted logic. Guy, you're major twisted...and you have no idea.

You claim to be a "non-conformist" because of your self-importancy issues...you act like you have something to prove. And you seem to think by NOT conforming, that somehow makes you an "awesome" person...no, it doesn't.That's not the PURPOSE of this.

If I don't conform, is because the situation either serves me no real purpose,I see no logic in it, or for the simple fact that I don't have to...not because non conforming is some kind of "sentiment" or "religion" I live by.

In fact, I don't see things as "non-conform" or "conform"...I do things by necessary means, and it's just as simple as that.
