I like your explanation of individual, but with it, I find that criticizing someone for lack of individuality is laughable.
Only so many nails can stand out. If all the nails begin to stand out more, a new level would be formed in which all again look the same.
And then, this definition of Individuality poses the question "how much of an individual am I?" which is to say "how much do I stand out?"
I know I am easily identifiable in this site. I know no one could confuse my name in my school. I know that many people I am introduced have said "oh, I have heard about you". And I know I made an impression when I visited NMSU.
I believe I'm comfortable with my extent of "individuality" considering I'm not out of high school yet.
One could argue that the range of individuality is small as it only encompasses half a city at the most, but I am a patient person.

Criticizing someone for the lack of it is not laughable at all. Since free-will/determinism cannot be known, it still MAY be their choice. So if a person decides to be part of a mould, then they have damned themselves.
You are not easily identifiable in a crowd of no ones, you're not easily known among us all. An individual is someone like Napoleon, or Lord Byron, Frederick Douglas, etc.

Humility is more beautiful than believing you matter. We can appreciate more.

I never asked you, you burnt out husk of a human being.

I guess we can all contradict our beliefs within a small time frame. You are nothing, I am nothing, we are both nothing. It makes us on the same grounds as if you were 'something.'
I'd rather believe I am nothing than believe I am something.

Actually I too would start from being nothing. It's not depressive because I'm not saying I'm worth nothing, I'm just beginning from a clean slate out of any biased and most probably false misconceptions.

Your an individual, just like everybody else.
Think about it.

If I do, my head will fucking explode. Because that makes no sense.
Individual in the formal sense is not the same as what we are talking about here. We are talking about people who stand out, who make a difference, who matter, who want to matter, etc.
