Is it normal if i stop doing things when they become trendy?
One of my biggest pet peeves is when something I love and have a passion for becomes trendy, popular, and basically a sell out. Once it becomes a trend, I still carry the passion for it but I refuse to put it put it "out there." Like lets say I loved wearing hats but then it becomes a trend and everyone is posting it on social media, wearing it all the time. If I were to post it as well, I feel like a follower even though Im not because I originally wore hats before. Even if people are getting paid to wear hats and show it on social media, sure I can take advantage of that opportunity because I love hats but something in me doesn't feel right about doing it cause I just feel unoriginal even though I am an original. Should I just go forward with pursuing it despite it being a trend and possibly making me look like a follower? or stick to my intuition and stay out of it? There's a few things I genuinely have a passion for and once i see it becoming a trend, I get all icky about it, maybe bitter but whatever its overall annoying.
