Whereas ‘individuality’ is the quality or peculiarity that makes you stand out in a group, every person in that crowd is an individual. A person’s uniqueness or originality makes them easily recognized in an organization or classroom. However, each individual may have different preferences as to food or drink, so they make ‘individual’ choices in a restaurant.
