It is mysterious to me how people our blind. In middle school a thing happened where one kid wore 2 types of shoes for whatever reason and before one knew it, all who wanted to be popular was doing that. Even then I was like I do not want to be popular, but I also enjoy seeing people happy and it was shoes. Left was Reebok and the right was converse.. silly.
This same need for people to fit in is in our dna. Maybe some of us are missing this gene? Or some of us got abused just enough to see it early on.
Amazing stuff. The idle mind is the devil’s workshop for sure.
I think some of us realized that nothing truly tangible ever comes from fitting in, so we never bothered. It's our social instinct, but as humans, we can reason enough to somewhat suppress it, and let it through when it's truly useful. It's the same as others' opinion of us. Some of us love being called bad names and insulted, as it just rolls off our backs, and that's strength. Not that I'm anything special, but those who participate in what I call "silly human games" are weak, and need something to shake them to the core to make them strong. Last night's drive home was a good example. Some low-forehead decided to mess with me at a 4-way stop, and slam on his brakes as he started through the intersection, all the while looking at me and smirking through his side mirror. I did nothing to provoke this idiot, and we're a no-fault insurance state, so fraud wasn't the intention. All I can do is just shake my head and roll my eyes at such moronic behavior.
