And yet here you are, signaling to others your uniqueness by saying how much you hate the way that they signal theirs. It's not that deep, man. This sounds like a really tough way to live and I genuinely wish you the best of luck with your vendetta against *checks notes* people expressing themselves with stickers on their laptops.

I don't think my opinion is particularly unique and certainly I do it to appear unique.

It is much easier, because I do not have to be worried whether people see me as unique.

Thank you.
