Nonconformist Edit Meaning

1.

Contrary to popular belief, there IS such a thing as a nonconformist. However, they ARE rare. True nonconformists conform to their OWN ideas (which, in reality is not conforming at all). Sinse they only conform to themselves, they come in all different forms, depending on what type of person they are. In short, a nonconformist is a totally honest and transparent person who says what they think does what they want.

Lisa is so open and honest! She's a true nonconformist.

2.

A nonconformist is a person who does not conform to the trends of the average person. A true nonconformist does what they want to do and not what other people want them to do.

This is not to be confused with an anticonformist, which is a person who does the opposite of what the typical person does.

Anticonformists often call themselfs nonconformists, because they dont know any better.

At a party where the majority of people are drinking:

The conformist would drink till he/she can't drink no more.

The anticonformist would not drink a drop.

The nonconformist would drink as much as he/she feels like drinking.

A contradictive word. By not conforming to one thing you are in turn conforming to something else. All of you people who think you are a rebelling nonconformist never thought of that, did you?

A term that seems to be largely skewed on this website.

A nonconformist is NOT a goth, and is nothing like it. Goths are conformists, as they are conforming to being goths. There are no 'group considered nonconformists' because that doesn't make sense. A nonconformist is simply someone who doesn't like the social groups he lives around, so chooses to stay out of it. These people will normally be wearing random articles of clothing, sometimes or often provocative that wouldn't actually put someone into a 'group'.

Tim wore a tight T-shirt and a jacket to school today. Yesterday he had a plain T-shirt of a random band name on it that had no similarities to the one worn today. Regardless, he was still ridiculed by self -proclaimed geniuses on the internet who said that he would HAVE to conform, no matter what.

Yet, there shines a glimmer of hope, for there are a few true nonconformists out there, the ones who do what they want, whether or not someone else likes it. Unfortunately, these people are usually seen as nerds, and are quickly dismissed. Of course, the nonconformist doesn't care at all.

Pop Nonconformist: Let's go do something different for a change, cuz I know everyone else will love me for it and think I'm cool!

True Noncanformist: I'm gonna go spraypaint a tomato on my ass, and I don't care what you think.
