What do you know about personality differences when it comes to the tendency to join groups or the tendency to stand off and watch. I find that I can become enthused about certain ideas but when I realize that there are a large number of people espousing them, I become skeptical.
Everybody has their own perspective, and to me, that's the beauty of being an individual. I've never been one to follow the masses or to do something simply because it's fashionable, in fact, I would rather not fit in to "ordinary" ideas and/or mindsets. My best personality trait is uniqueness, and I get bored easily with the mundane (yawn).
