Wow, this really was a nice essay to go through. I found myself in the 3rd paragraph and was hooked. Everyone wants to stand out, have a role in society, neglecting that society has no meaning if no one appreciates it. The hunger for outside validation and the need to stand out can really break a human, and your essay covered that beautifully.
I only wish you had covered more of the implications of oversocialization, that society creeps in to tangle us into a web of the ordinairy, restricting our actions, and how especially through AI tools niche and speciality get more rare.
Nowadays you still shouldn't fight for attention, yet you shouldn't make yourself one of the masses either.
You should find yourself and you should express yourself freely, not get imprisoned by society's values.
Thank you so much for your thoughtful comment, I really appreciate it. You brought up an important point about oversocialization that I hadn’t explored enough, and I’ll definitely look into that. it‘s an interesting balance between being (un)ordinairy and what it means for yourself, society, but also about the culture we live in. I’m glad the essay spoke to you, and I really value the depth you added to the discussion.
