We are all the same

One of the most recurring concepts in teenagers is the concept of individuality and being unique. We are force fed the idea that we need to be unique and this manifests itself in various forms that may seem unorthodox. The first is the strive to perfection. When one strives to be perfect, they want to be on top. The core of social hierarchy is the inherent difference in the top and the bottom. The bottom is many while the top is few. Perfection is a way to climb up this system. The second is to be different from everyone else. Being unique is when people delve into the taboo of society. Trying things that are unknown to others and delving head first into the esoteric arts. The last is isolation. While this is the more difficult one to understand it all relies on an subconscious form of individuality. This form is when the individual removes themselves from society and creates an illusion that they are different from the rest of society; most typically the idea that they are not human. In reality people are nearly the same. The fact that these types of displays of individuality are categorizable show that all humans are the same. We all share the common methodology of thinking, what keeps us different and not a race of clones, is that we think of different topics at different intensities, one person may like history and know more about history and think more about history, while another might like something along the lines of astronomy. That is what defines our brains while our memories define our personalities. We all share this natural human framework that allows us to think in this way, and our thoughts are much more similar than most of us would expect.
