It is easy to lose yourself in the world — it is so big, and you are so small in comparison — it is easy to forget your "I am", become merely fragment of the "we are". It is actually good, sometimes, to think of the larger, to be a part of the collective voice; but when one wants to part from the will of a crowd, it is often difficult to stand still when a multitude presses against your back, or to move when a wall of people blocks your way. I think we must exercise it, your "I am", remember the individual one is, apart from the structure of dependencies on people of the collective "we". What are you? You are part of the world, part of your family, part of your circle of friends, part of your school or company. But what are you? You are unique. You are you. And sometimes, you may forget that.
There are enough categories of people that have been thought of in the reckoning of the world that yes, there is a slot for you, like it or not. For example, "individualist" — are you one of those? But the unique combination of genes and experiences that make you up — these, there are too many combinations and permutations to effectively collapse all of those into a niche wider than one. Yes, they have a name for people like you; don't ignore that, just... don't think that that is the last word on you. When someone has you down to a "t", surprise them. Surprise yourself. Be you. It is sometimes not easy to do that. But it is always worth it.

Hm..the way I recon it you cannot be either too individualistic, or too part of the crowd,sheep-like -that way in between is kinda hard to find.whatever you do there will be people disliking it-but ey,what can one do...You make it seem so easy Stand,so simple-and maybe it is..beautiful!
