“Why are you so scared to be different?”That is definitely a question to be asked.Fortunately and unfortunately, the “societal mindset” was one of the way we evolved to thrive in Nature. Our earliest ancestors needed groups to get by because there was only so much one person could do on their own.Isolationism led to less chances of survival and we literally got wired into having a fear of standing out.This is thousands of years of conditioning and for most people, it’s easier

That's interesting but true. Still, people should try to enjoy standing out, being unique, and being different.

To outsource their thinking than do it themselves.

For some people it’s also a way to avoid being accountable for their actions if they’re not holding themselves responsible for their choices in the first place.
