Recently, i have noticed that people do not think that much. I never really payed much attention before, not until a conversation with a friend. It came up that i dont talk much. I dont, for many reasons. I have Kind of a mild Social Anxiety problem. not much, but i have trouble starting conversations and talking to people who change subjects a lot. In a way this is bad, because it leads to poor social skills, but it also leaves me time to just sit and think alot.
My friend asked what i do when everyone is talking but me, and i was surprised. I just think. I asked him dont you ever just sit and think, and question the world, and what makes you human, and what are our thoughts and if they are really others implanted into us. he just kind of looked at me like i was crazy and said that i need talk more.
But nobody ever just thinks. they always have to have something to do. Always everyone is playing video games (i love video games, but still) or watching TV.
a different friend tells me i think too much about stuff. Is that possible? I would like to familiarize myself with as many possibility as possible, wouldn't you? before you talk to someone, should you not think of lasting consequences over the the words that you choose. Is not manipulation done by small and weak strikes that eventually shift the direction of the future?
In that case, is "Social anxiety" REALLY a disadvantage, or is not having it a disadvantage. Am i over thinking, or are others under thinking?
I dont mean to rant, but this has been on my mind for a while. It is easy to tell people who think alot. they have a certain appeal about them to me. It seems so shallow when people talk to simply entertain themselves and not for any information or thought or feeling.
As a side note, dont you hate girls that act stupid( or maybe they really are stupid?) so that they seem attractive to guys. Just as bad are the guys that like this kind of behavior. I would rather have an intelligent conversation of philosophy than chat about how last night on WOW I did VOA 10m for the 100th time. ( i dont mean to offend, this just irks me) you would think that there would be and evolutionary trait to prevent this... but my theory of humanity screwing with our evolution is a whole different story, with the people with low IQs having more kids that those with high IQs and with no death rate due to humanity feeling the responsibility to feed the cancer...
any way, tell me what you think, and like i said, i dont mean to offend anyone.
