Discussion Social rules

[DoNotLet2]

Well, I live in Poland. It's like you wait over half a year for just an appointment. Even for this shitty "therapy" I waited about 7-8 months I guess. So no I can't do it in reasonable time. I wanna be normal right now. Not in many years when I'm old. I highly dislike life. Life is dumb.

These social norms are a way to control people. Without them there would chaos and people would just do what they want. But the biggest problem with these so called ,,social norms" is that they are not always quite obvious. And sometimes they are even plainly stupid. I mean some rules are obvious because we are told that it is wrong to hurt others. But most of them are learned through experience aka ,,social interaction". However, what is ironic is that those that may simply do not understand these rules are denied opportunity to social interaction, only way to learn them in first place.

But some may also question these rules. Why I am supposed to act certain way in certain setting? Isn't that actually fake behaviour?
Social norms can also be difficult to understand because other people except us to act like ,,normal human" not like ourselves. And acting in such fake way is the only way to stay alive. Man must be fake in order to stay alive. If you do not adhere to social norms you may have trouble finding job in the future, getting loving partner etc.

As for Psychopats that do not respect social norms well....they often have some kind of power. For example they ma be very wealthy or be manipulative. If you have the power then you can pretty much abuse social rule

Did your "psychologist" tell you what the (supposed) rules are?

I think that makes you just more interesting.

I bet you live in USA? I laughed when I heard of all the social rules in there. I seriously could not live by those rules and I think most Europeans couldn't either.

Fuck their rules. Make your own rules. Don't follow others path, make your own path.
