Dragging Me Down Socially

Europe is crumbling under the weight of socialism.Why do the Dems want to drag us to the failure of socialism?

Because power corrupts and absolute power corrupts absolutely. They use the Idea of a centrally run Utopia to win people over to their side and for what? Control thats what. All of you who sit here and mock capitalism, remember that it made this country the most powerful in the world, while still preserving individual freedom. If you look past the propaganda of both political parties and look at the facts when the economy failed the government was more involved in regulating the system then it has ever been, and you wan't them to regulate it more... hah. 200 years ago we dumped in the woods and ate bark to survive, socialism didn't get us modern america CAPITALISM did.

Can someone explain this to me? Socially awkward guys?

he is the SHY type I am shy too when I have a crush so trust me I know all the signs like the staring and his friends knowing who you are and smiling and stuff shows that he is interested! you should go up and talk to him its the only way usually if the guy is shy and all it means he won't make a move he will probably just stare at you for the rest of the year, maybe giving him something on valentines??trust me it isn't weird:) good luck!

Why don’t you have more friends and more of a social life?

I spend too much time on quora.No, I just didn't start early enough. Back when I was like 12 years old I was constantly being told I was very smart compared to most classmates which may have motivated me to think in a very individualist manner. I had this idea that I could do everything on my own and people where just dragging me down. It's only very recently that I started broadening my social circle and because of this I've never really learned to be social, to talk “normally” or to date.

Why do people enjoy judging and putting down or belittling other people?

Every living being, that can form a community, have this in common. Wolf packs too.Some people, really want to be on the top, they believe that they are powerful enough to lead, are take the top most position in this ladder. They probably are, these people are usually liked, popular and have a charismatic personality everyone is naturally inclined to follow and like this kind of person.Some, even if they are not all that powerful and dominant, have come up with an excuse for why they should be on the top.This is nothing but a motive to re-assert their social status, often born out of jealousy and greed, also has other roots.These people, they are willing to do anything to make themselves appear better than yourself, they usually Make the smallest of your mistakes a huge event. Try to prove others are wrong, even if its the mundane thing.Always try to assert their false status.Teasing, calling names and ill treatment comes along with it.Soon, they have this feeling of entitlement to their pseudo-position. As if they deserved it all this while, and the mind sees what it wants, everything to them seems to be the way they want it to be. Even if that is really not the thing.The other type is,Born out of Insecurities.These kind, they are aware of their own shortcomings, flaws and have simply accepted them as perfect. When they see another person, feeling comfortable in their skin, its a reflex to tear them down and make them feel miserable too. They find it easier to criticize and put someone down, rather than improve themselves to grow beyond themselves. They are stuck and afraid to change, and can't accept it if another person tries to change. Like everything else, this too becomes a reflex and a habit.

Feeling suicidal, trapped and depressed?

I'm 16 and have been suffering from depression for 3 months now and it's really affecting my life. I was just having a few weeks of happiness but i seem to have hit rock bottem again. The main reason for my depression is how worthless and useless i feel. Everyone is growing up and i still feel young and behind everyone else. The thought of growing up scares me a lot. I also have anxiety which affects me. I feel so nervous for social situations and can often end up being physically sick with the nerves. I have begun to feel i can't do anything anymore and that I'll be trapped like this forever. This morning was extremely bad and i couldn't get out of bed. I didn't go to work placement (a nursery as I'm a childcare student) and i will probably be kicked off the course. My friends are all happy and enjoying life and i just feel trapped and lonely. I've explained it to them in the past and though they remained my friends they weren't really supportive and they didn't understand. I'm not eating and just wanted to sleep and cry all day. I just don't know what to do anymore :( I've spoken to doctors and councillors and even had an advocacy worker. Nothings helped and they're refusing to put me on medication at the minute. Is killing myself the only option to relief my pain? Will I be like this forever?

Can a young person die from loneliness and social isolation?

I dont think so. Although there are many different factors involved if something like this were to happen.I'm 25, I dont have any friends outside of work and I have 2 jobs and live and rent a studio by myself. I dont have much time to be social so I've grown used to it. I wouldn't say I'm the happiest guy in the world but there is a feeling of accomplishment when all my bills are paid up and working 2 jobs helps me from dragging myself back down a spiral haunted staircase into the world of depression. A world I've grown used to and in a sick sense, fond of. The problem for me is coming out of that world. That's where the struggle lies. Getting in is easy, few dark thoughts here, a few regrets there, couple white lies and a Saturday afternoon empty laundromat and I have this time to ponder on all these emotions and a concoction is made and the depression opens its arms and the rush comes in.Being socially absent and living in solitude has made me open my eyes to what everyone is avoiding.And it's not pretty.

What is a word for being unfit in society?

The receiving end of Social Darwinism.

It's a phrase, but it'll work.
