why is expressing and being oneself being looked down by norms and society?

is it to keep the ecosystem of society. is it to keep order or do people [groups and cliques] just envy our individuality to the point that we are the first easy targets because we defy the natural order of society by being different and unique from the rest of the crowd simply by being ourselves

i see injustice when those pesky societal crabs keeps pulling individuals down to their level...

I think you should stand up for what you believe in even if that means standing alone. Some of the most wicked things in the world happen because people who want to be part of the crowd and desire to be accepted more than anything else are not willing to stand alone and say, "That is wrong !"

oh believe me i had my share of encounters with Crabs in the past i just can't help but talk down the oppressors of the weak using venomous words towards a group of Cool Kids bullies who are the real losers in my eyes

means girls group, cool kids group, well i had my encounters in the end...individuals had their wings clipped by those crabs and eventually fell to peer pressure while i stood alone like a lone rebel not giving a damn what others think of me. their words are mere bullets that can't even aim right at me
