It is a passion. You develop it in time, starting since little. It pertains to the belonging factors and effects (1). One cultivates it with fetishes and icons (flags, caps, car stickers, scarfs, neck ties, pins, my wife uses also socks,...) and the nagging with adverse parties makes it stick. We are encouraging little daughter, and she shows already a strong belonging to my team, against theirs (mother, granddad and uncle). Intelligent kid.
The object in itself is irrelevant. It is the belonging that matters. Swift would have liked this so much.

in your case, for the little that I understand of you from your posts, I would say to you to just enjoy seeing it from the outside. You do not miss nothing. But you might have occasions to distinguish yourself if the day after a particularly relevant event you sport a pin, or maybe paint your face like in your avatar. discreetly. :

(1) the belonging just comes after the creature needs in Maslow's pyramid (you know the socio thing, creature, your peers, your boss, yourself as gratifiers).
It is an adolescence process and those are very sweet!
