They cannot bear the negative consequences of not conforming.
-
So that they could co-mingle with people without problem and do not have people hate them. "Strength by greater number" sums it up.

F**k society. I try to do my own thing. I guess other people conform as to not be left out of some kind of club type of thing and not to be made fun of.

they will beat the shit out of you if you don't... i am getting used to it but i am still looking for a nice gf and a island with free electricity.

Construct of nurture, they have evolved in the environment of society and therefore have always functioned within it. To see past society and live a free life independent of social infrastructure is a hard thing to do! Especially if you need money to survive! Why not buy an acre of jungle and live 100% sustainably, independently of all infrastructures, dependent only on yourself and nature? You would probably have to conform to society to gain the means to do so, but its a means to freedom!

It's easier to follow the path of least resistance.

Why do most people speak the language spoken around them instead of just vocalizing sounds that just feel good and right to them?

Conforming to some extent is pretty normal as one has to deal with people all the time. When conforming to society is damaging your own personal life then you've simply gone too far. It can be absolutely destructive. Conforming within reason is probably the best plan. It shouldn't be allowed to control your life.

they're afraid of being different, of being so out of the loop that they'll have no one to talk to. all people want(i think NEED is the right word here) a freind(although what kind of friend would u have if ur not urself around them??)because they can't bear the thought of being lonely or alone in the world. they see that the only way to get people to like them is to conform(the words "peer pressure" spring up to mind here) so that's why they do it. "society"(if u want to call it that)/ people always say: dont judge a book by its cover yet you have them doing it all the time... i guess people never learn from their mistakes... or they CHOOSE not to

Because most people are sheep and do exactly as they're told

It is human nature and happens all the time in the animal kingdom.
-
It just gets too tiring trying to fight against it constantly.
-
Because we are social creatures and recognize that we cannot be happy or prosper without rules and norms that benefit us.
-
It seems clear that there is an unconscious herdlike nature to humans. There are, of course, many influences in specific cases, but even the apparantly most independent of individuals make rather strange & conforming decisions on occasion.
-
Most people conform to society because they need and want acceptance of the people. Some are just too scared to act like how they really feel.

Contrary to the pseudo-philosophies of cannabis-enthusiasts and suburban teens, society is actually a good thing. Simply put, it works. If you claim to be a counterculturist, you're likely lying to yourself. Wearing dark clothes with fingerless gloves and listening to really loud, unpopular music doesn't cut it. Sorry.

Ba ba, because they are like sheep. Lots of people like being compared to stupid farm animals because it makes them feel sexy. I personally liken myself to pigs.
