The term "nonfaddist" is a noun used to refer to an individual who tends to resist or abstain from following current trends or engaging in passing fads. The term is derived from the combination of "non" which indicates negation or lack of, and "faddist" which denotes someone who adopts or supports fashionable or transient interests. A nonfaddist is characterized by their indifference towards conforming to popular opinions or temporary fashions, instead preferring to prioritize personal values, principles, and steadfastness over fleeting trends.
Nonfaddists typically exhibit a strong sense of self-awareness, valuing individuality and independent thinking. They often maintain a stable and consistent outlook in their beliefs, opinions, and lifestyle choices. By eluding the influence of fads, nonfaddists often display a preference for more timeless pursuits and are often seen as grounded and resistant to the fleeting nature of contemporary trends. Furthermore, nonfaddists are motivated by the desire to stay true to their own values and principles, rather than being swayed by the changing tides of popular opinion. While nonfaddists may be open to new ideas, they tend to carefully evaluate their significance before embracing them or incorporating them into their lives.
