I do stand out from the crowd because I really do that literally. I don’t follow someone or something because everyone is doing it. I need to be convinced that it is the right way to go. If I am convinced, I would follow but will still use my reason, my brain.
It isn’t that I think I am wiser or better than others, it is the non-conformist in me that wants a solid reason to follow a certain course of action. The blindly following is not for me. Being one of the crowd, just a stat in the general scheme of things has never appealed to me. So I would claim this as my only remarkable quality, that I don’t want to be one of many. If possible I want to be the one many follow. And that would be because I think I would be going the right way!
How about you? What is that makes you stand out from the crowd?

First, I deleted Facebook, which apparently makes me unique among my peers. I know of only one other person who doesn’t have an account. I don’t like doing what everyone else does just because “it’s the way things are done.” Never have. I question it all.

That’s great. Why should we follow blindly?

I’ve always stood out, was never one to follow the crowd; a very consistent person. When I was young I thought I was moving to the beat of my own heart, but realized later in life; it was to the beat of God’s heart! Nice post!

Thank you so much. Being an unthinking follower goes against the grain for me.
