But trying to be different (and perhaps better) can be a good thing in some cases. If the people around you are doing things that you think are harmful are wrong or just plain stupid, than there's nothing wrong with deliberately setting higher and "different" standards for yourself, and therefore trying to be different.
... In this case, you are 'being different' because you do not want to act like your freinds, it is not of your personality.
THAT is being you.
Thankyou, you just totally proved my point.
...But!! Where you say that you are "deliberately setting higher and "different" standards for yourself, and therefore trying to be different", you are being different for the sake of being different, to put yourself above others.
That is stupid.
If 'being yourself' calls for you to be different, then so be it! But don't go out of your way to be 'better' than everyone else. That is being snobbish.
People make their own choices, and simply because you make differen ones does not make you 'better' then them.
