How to be original and different from the gray mass? How not to be a cog in the mechanism of society? How to be an individual person?
The article will be useful for all people who, without knowing it, live according to the “herd instinct”, thereby belittling their personal qualities. And there are also individuals who are aware that they obey the herd instinct, and do not even resist it, go with the flow, because it’s just that it’s convenient. And it is also convenient because it is not bad to be in the herd, since there is already a certain warmed up place, that is, a mask, the main artificially grown inside characteristics, by which the surrounding other members of the herd recognize each other.
There is also a leader in the herd who also simplifies the task, decides everything himself, as he says, so it will be, and it is unnecessary to strain your mental abilities in order to come up with something new and original. You can take a closer look at all the positive and negative aspects of the "herd instinct".
If you look from the one side, then being in such a herd environment is not even bad, interaction, mutual assistance, mutual understanding, everything that carries the principle of interaction can be attributed to the pluses. But what to do when there is no herd nearby, if there are no those with whom this interactions are happening. What then to do with your personality? When there is no one nearby, according to whose rules we perform certain actions, ignoring or hiding our personal position and opinion, for the sake of others.
Having shown your individuality, in self-expression or creativity, you can face misunderstanding and pressure from others. Since this goes beyond the herd principle of life for many and from the outside it is perceived by their eyes as something wild, new and alien. But maybe you just need to go through this period, let others get used to your new and such a natural image for you. And believe me, over time you will only be respected for this.
