I'll start with: medical conditions, everyone would prefer to have an average well known and curable disease than a special case or a unique one
A desire for a different way to live your life. If everyone else around you wants something else, you can either suffer it or disengage from society all together. And odds are neither of those two options are what you wanted to happen.
Having a rule written about their actions, or a law named after them.
For the rules, they did something stupid and management wants it to not happen again. If a law, then they were the victim of something terrible.
(Slim chance it was heroic, or cool.)
no one wants to stand out when they don't want to so... unique body. Not like elephant man even i mean just really tall/short dark/light different. No one wants to be too far outside the mean where they live
