"Socrates: By why, my dear Crito, should we care about the opinion of many? Good men, and they are the only persons worth considering, will think of these things as they truly occurred.

Crito: But you see, Socrates, that the opinion of the many must be regarded, for what is happening now shows that they can do the greatest evil to anyone who has lost their good opinion.

Socrates: I only wish it were so, Crito; and that the many could do the greatest evil; for then they would also be able to do the greatest good—and what a fine thing this would be! But in reality they can do neither; for they cannot make a man wise or foolish; and whatever they do is a result of chance."

- Plato (Crito)

My highschool nickname was The Non-Conformist. I've always been a leader not a  follower and I do tend to stand out in a crowd because of my looks especially my hair and my "presence" <--- what I've been told

Do you stand out or usually follow the crowd.  Example : The crowd is kind of bullying and laughing at an individual - do you tend to follow these same footsteps or take a different twist in turn. I'm more of the latter than the former I think.  Actually it's a turn on in the relationship that's forming             ( whether it be a friendship or more) when someone stands up for you me thinks. ;)

I think I'm the type who ignores the crowd because my computer and smart phone are funner. 

Going out to dinner with family and friends? Boring, I could be at home on my computer!
Going on a long road trip? Boring I could be at my computer at home!
Getting into a relationship[? No way! I don't want people always looking over my shoulder, and trying to coax me away from my computer.

This really depends on the specific situation and specific kind of crowd. When I need to be a part of something and it's not good for me to stick out, I'm gladly part of the crowd as everyone else. When I need to be the leader, I gladly be one. It's more about what needs to be done to make something out of it for me, or to stay comfortable as much as possible.

I always had a morbid curiosity in relation to mobs. Whenever someone was being picked on (we are talking middle school here) I would always want to see how far people would go.Often times I was not in direct physical contact with the victim I usually wanted to see how far the assailant would be willing to go, urging him on along the way. 

Sometimes on the other hand I make a point out of going against mocking someone for whatever reason, in order to see how people react. For example when the group is talking about someone behind their back or whatever, pointing out the mortality of the situation and shaming those involved. Now obviously I could care less but it is interesting to see how these two faced people react when confronted with it.

Going against the flow without reason is something I don't do. 

Whenever I do go against the flow or social groups is when I know others will follow me. There is little point in being 'the tree that stands alone' if you can help it.

I follow the crowd usually and do what the crowd does. I often realize it later on.

I am a leader. But also a loner. I have no friends and do everything alone.
