Comment on Do I fit into any subculture? (I'm from the UK if that helps)

  No I mean like if there’s a name for it or if I’m just a normie lol

  The friends I have are a lot different to me and they know what subculture they belong in, so most of their friends are like that too. I’m just curious and wondering what mine is, if any, so I can better find more people like me if that makes sense?

    If all of your friends are in completely different groups, you may be one of the rare Chameleons.

    As opposed to the people who surround themselves with like minded people, you prefer the novelty of new and different perspectives. Chameleons get along well with many groups because they are great at listening and learning about the subcultures of others. You may not get into the nitty gritty, but you understand what they’re about, and can carry on a conversation with them and their “insert subculture” friends.

      This reads like one of the results on a personality quiz.

      i consider myself more of a collector. I find interesting people and pick them to be friends, kind of like how you fall in love with a fancy cheese. if my friends aren’t stinky enough, they can’t come over or something i can’t remember how it works anymore.

        I notice autistic traits in most of my favorite conversation partners. I often wonder if others see them in me as well. 🤷🏻‍♂️

        I appreciate their passion and honesty.
