50 Hilarious Moments Of People Trying To Be "Different" But Just Ended Up Humiliating Themselves
So much arrogance... for being so unique.
Humans, by nature, have a desire to be “normal”—whatever that means to anyone. This stems from a subconscious—and sometimes conscious—desire to belong to a certain group of people.
However, wanting to be normal does not apply to everyone. There are others who wish to deviate from social norms and identities to establish a sense of individuality, and that is not a bad thing.
Sometimes, breaking the normative rules of society can yield positive outcomes—it can promote uniqueness, originality, and independence. A person’s abilities and goals should not be confined to what people perceive as the “standard.”
The image that the public paints of others does not define that person’s overall value. Each individual can be different and unique in their own way, as long as no one is hurt.
However, some take “breaking the norms” a bit too far—so much so that it drives people away, often literally. Reddit’s “r/NotLikeTheOtherGirls” subreddit showcases many examples of this.
No matter their efforts to showcase their uniqueness for the world to see, they are shamed and ridiculed—the opposite of what they probably intended. Here are 50 of the best posts found in the thread—enjoy!
