well fal, conforming for the sake of conforming is depriving yourself of being who you may really be. Conformity doesnt build social bonds if nobody is true to themselves but instead just trying to be like everyone else. Its being around people who truly in their heart believe what they represent that builds a social bond. The people who are fake are usually pretty easy to point out. I personally dont take offense in the "poseurs" they will understand someday and either find another social group who are more like the true them, or realize what it is they really stand for and in turn be themselves not to fit in, but because its who they really are.
