If we stopped worrying about whether we're being different or not for every action we take, we might have more rationalized and sensible logic behind some of our actions. Big decisions, with anything worthwhile at stake, need better motivations than just "I want to be different from others". Worry about safety, security, efficiency, practicality, effectiveness, enjoyment, etc, not whether or not you're doing the same thing as the person next to you. Do it for whatever reasons count for you; if the only reason that counts for you is "being different", then I think you've got an attention-seeking disorder...
