Are you wearing LAST year’s Sonic bag? Gross! Only the latest corpo merch is acceptable.

Smh if you’re “fitting in” when you don’t want to, then you’re part of the problem by maintaining the “normal” status quo.
Stand out if it makes you happy, you might convince others to do so as well

And if a backpack is part of your happiness in the first place, that’s a concern. Not “this backpack is pleasing”. But “I’m actually unhappy in my heart when I don’t have my special material goods”

I saw it as a metaphor for being able to express yourself and your likes visibly. Really, as someone who has had unnatural colored hair for over 3 decades, the hair should have been also made a natural one to “fit in”. I get less weird looks than I did, but still get some issues from it. Using a different item than a corporate mascot probably would have been a better choice too. But… I got it, in a way that made sense to me.
I do have some corporate things I enjoy… and even feel they have formed who I am from exposure. Still get flack about “when are you gonna grow out of that?”

I decided to get weird with my 40s, am I happier? No. But am I more comfortable in my own skin? Yes.

Same. I got sick of normal boring makeup and decided it’s go colorful or go home. Blue and purple gradient eyeshadow with ridiculous falsies? Yes please!

Secret third option where you do both. Wear sonic the hedgehog underwear.

Be happy, you will spread your happiness to others that want to do the same, making them more likely to do the same choice. Suddenly, a lot more people are happy while still fitting into society perfectly well.

One of my girls in the lab is always coming in with 90’s nostalgia merch and we all love her and support her!

If you’re interacting with something every day, talking about things like your phone case, your wallet, maybe a pocket knife or keyring, any of those objects should make you happy, or at least not cause you any anxiety. Think of how many hundreds of thousands of little interactions you’ll have with that thing, and multiply the feeling during that moment, and consider the net total during the lifetime of the object.
I had a number pad that I was using almost every day, but it was a bit crummy, so I splurged and got a better one. If I have to use this thing all the time, then by God I’m going to enjoy using it!

If the stuffed animal backpacks I want actually had all the compartments and stuff my trail bag had, I would definitely have a stuffed animal backpack.

I’d be miserable both fitting in or trying to be myself, either way. Life is just misery

Middle of the road. I’m a little weird but I keep it reigned in while in public.
