Go against the grain
means to act or think differently from what most people expect or believe.
Examples:
1- Sometimes in society there is strong pressure to follow the same path as everyone else —the same education, the same career choices, the same lifestyle. But some people choose to go against the grain and create their own path.
2- A student might decide to study something unconventional, even if others think it’s risky. That decision could mean going against the grain.
