Conformity

Andrew Worthington Conformity Conformity: the state of having changed yourself to match the appearances and/or personalities of those around you. In many cases, people feel the need to conform because they wish to feel a part of something bigger than them. This is unfortunate however, because it robs people of their individuality and their free will. Without individual creativity and self-expression, a lack of ideas results, leaving a dull and uncultured society, and possibly …

…and many people try and achieve this by changing themselves to fit the likes of others, but people need to learn that their own individuality is more important than what someone else thinks about them. If a person can hang on to that, he will find people who appreciate him as the person he is, not the person he is trying to be. Then he will truly know himself and where he belongs in life.
