Mostly because, it's less risky, and less painful.

Ultimately, I think, that all of our motives to be who we are will have a source that we might consider "outside ourselves" if we dug deep enough. We're a part of a collective. I think he only choice we really have is the choice to embrace the new consciously, or instead leave it to our subconscious to make the choices for us. At least when I make a conscious choice I have the satisfaction of a sense of control over who I am. Peacocking is more often than not an opportunity for me to simply try something new -- something that I've not done before rather than caving to my old habits and enjoying the bliss of nostalgia. (Which, to me, is a way of accepting an early death -- by being unwilling to embrace things you're essentially saying: The new isn't good.) Recently I've been growing my hair out... I know that it's a possibility (though -- with my genes I think it's likely I probably would be able to) I may not get to ever grow my hair out again if I wait too long, my hair might get thinner. At one point I didn't even think it was going to look that good (I've actually been pleasantly surprised) -- but my hesitation to let it grow has been the very reason I've decided I want it to.
