1. Nope!
Figuring out how to be proud of non-conformity is pretty damn freeing, too!

2. I'm lucky that I conform to the extent that I do
Otherwise I'd have long ago been locked up for a long time. I've done a some things that could have gotten me a lot of time when I was insane. I guess I'm pretty lucky to tell you guys about it. Or that is tell you about it in vague non-incriminating ways.

3. Conformity is highly rewarded in our society,
but it's not freedom. I look at it as a form of mental slavery, giving up your drive and true being to blend into the scenery.
