People are so different and diverse. And what is cultured and tapped in to one group is going to be irrelevant to another.
You'll be the most happy and free if you are able to resist all of those pressures toward grouplike and alignment. The pressures will be lifelong, though often with a different flavor than right now.
Although the safe thing is to get into that rudderless ship of alikeness with everyone else, the better thing is to love what you love, no apologies, with joy and passion. After a time, they'll come to you.

My favorite thing in getting to know new people is finding out the things they enjoy that seem a bit out of character. I think itâs comforting and a bit sexy when not everything that they like has to be âcoolâ for them to really enjoy it. Being self-assured and knowing your worth is hot.
After all, life is too short to try and shape yourself around a mould that doesnât truly resonate with you. Just enjoy the things that bring you joy without caring if they are basic or lame to others. you can enjoy the band that everyone hates, enjoy the movies that people think are overrated, and wear the shirt that went out of style 5 years ago.
true authenticity is a rare trait, always has been. Itâs like striking gold when you find that inner peace to just be yourself, regardless of how cringy others find it. Find the peace to like what you like without shame.

đit is so freeing to realize that people liking the same things as me/ being similar to me isnât a threat and doesnât take away from my uniqueness as an individual. connecting with others over shared interests is such a beautiful and necessary part of life.
if everyone had the same mindset that I used to have we would all just be super lonely!

đEveryone is unique, but everyone is obsessed with putting themselves in boxes ... it is one thing to curate personal taste, and it's another thing to box yourself into one thing and to have to keep all of your interests inside the box! You aren't a box, you aren't even a shape at all. I enjoy everything and everyone because I am open to enjoying it. Or to not enjoying it. Then I have learned something new about myself. Aaand this is why I love PI.FYI!
