The thing that motivates people to buy expensive clothes is exactly the same as the thing that's motivating you to write these comments.
People don't really want to fit in with others, they want to fit in with themselves. For some people that involves being the kind of person that buys expensive clothes. For you, that involves being the kind of person that doesn't buy expensive clothes. There is no difference, except that your thing is not externally visible, so you have to tell us about it. And you get to keep all that disposable income I guess.
You're also avoiding the identity equivalent of running your whole business on a 3rd party API, which is what people who base themselves on brands are doing. So you're probably ahead. But not really any different.

I'm not making my decision in order to fit in. I try not to worry about it, because I've come to the conclusion that it doesn't make much sense to worry about it.

- BlackDeath3 13y agoI'm putting effort into trying to get people to think about things in a different way. That's what I'm "worried" about. If by "it" you mean buying expensive clothes, I think that you've missed the point. Then again, given your posts, it seems that you make a habit of missing the point. I suppose I'll move on.
