Because in this world, kid... It's Adapt or Die...and if one is choosing to "not adapt well" then one is choosing a very dangerous course of existence, for to not adapt is to eaten alive by the system. Social norms are designed to keep the party fun, because all it takes one non-conformist to ruin the fun for everyone. Social norms are there for a reason. (You can always have your own style of clothing and mannerisms, but everybody should be polite and courteous and respectful of others across the board. That's a given.)

(You can always have your own style of clothing and mannerisms, but everybody should be polite and courteous and respectful of others across the board. That's a given.) - it depends on the behaviour
like people who torture animals often escalate to humans
people who advocate rape, torture and wife bashing are associated with the Charles Manson type of mental instability
that is why.... - In the past, pathologizing noncomformity was used as a convenient way to remove "social undesirables" from society.
- There is wisdom and natural working results to the social consciousness. It's older than you and has had more things thrown at it and more people in it.
- Because people who don't conform are a threat to the power of the establishment, cult leaders, or whoever.
