have you done any act of defiance against informal norms?

-using forks to eat rice [coming from asian culture. spoons or chopsticks are norm]
-using green or purple pens in a class
-using a friction pen in exams [not sure if its acceptable though]
-being different and unique, Prideful of one's individuality
-wearing extra accessories when required to wear uniform to feel different from others
-taking the front seat of any class [even if i'm a bit of a slacker at times]
-refusing to do the Gangnam Style when all was doing it
-not going to parties and clubs during adolescence [even though that was the norm]

WHAT'S YOURS?

I have been defiant since I was a juvenile until now and I shall continue doing so. My life is all about defiance.

@quinnVneck: It's too late for that. I have been living like a hermit for many yrs now. There are many pathways up this mountain called life and I am making my own pathway. The other paths are too crowded...:-)

@Wraithorn: did you seriously take the word individually seriously? its not about living like an island. its about presenting oneself with pride because we enjoy being ourselves than wearing a mask

@quinnVneck: It's not easy to explain. Let me try...I don't worry about being isolated because I know that my life force (whatever you want to call it) is connected to everything and everyone else, so being isolated is not a problem. I can feel everyone from here and that's good enough for now.

its naturally what you want to do or be, i dont know why the hell there are norms, just so that you fit in? be brave
quinnVneck · 31-35, F
of course i am brave as i don't fear the crabs and sheeps of the society... let them talk for i have a mirror to deflect it all! like a shield i can wield in lightweight but heavy with defense against social "cool kids"
