No only that, but it's entirely possible to be an individual who can participate successfully in a collective. They're not mutually exclusive or contradictory things. You can have goals and aspirations that focus exclusively on you without negatively affecting your contributions and interactions within a group. Life is nuanced, things aren't as black and white as people often seem to think.
