the philosophy that the individual is significant and superior to any collective becuase it is the individual and not the collective that holds all rights and is the source of all those rights given to him/her by the one true God or by the fact of their existence. Individualism is congruent with egoism (the celebration of the individual for his efforts and abilities) and is wholly against altruism (the abasement of an individaul for all that he/she is to some other form).

1. An "individual" is generally considered one who follows only his(her) own rules of life.

2. Also, in general, anything that is different from the rest of the world in any way.
1. Jon is the true individual. He says so many times until it becomes a catchphrase, "I don't care what the 'others' think about my actions" - and his actions (often crude and immature) support that phrase.

2. My DNA is probably truly individual.

Individual's may actually conform, just to prove that they are individual from other individuals...

There is no definition of an individual, for to define an individual is hideously oxymoronic.

A serious condition involving a change of outlook on the victim, making them view popular, trendy or highly public things as bad, uninteresting or unbearable. They're often found making baseless assumptions or excuses to accusations of individualitis.

This is commonly found in hipsters and some victims who "hate" pop music.
Hipster: "God I hate Lady Gaga so much, her music pisses me off."
Friend: "Why?"
Hipster: "She's so weird and popular, I just hate it"
Friend: "I think you have individualitis."
