A new beginning calls for a new set of redundant titles.
Don't you think?
We like to describe people as two different kinds of behavior. The "people person" and the "not people" person. Creative i know, i didn't invent it...
When you come to think about a 'people person' what do you think? Someone who always fits in, finds conversation, makes friends at the drop of the dime. I know that is what i think when i hear the phrase.
On the opposite end of the spectrum however, you have the 'not people persons', who by stereotype, are antisocial or very to themselves.
The thing that doesn't make sense to me the evolution of society, that is the true meaning of these titles. The people who adapt, and the people who don't.
We often think of the 'non people person' as someone who is inferior, who just doesn't "get it". When the truth may be the opposite. These past few months i have met people who are not necessarily going to win a popularity contest, but that doesn't matter to them, they were just humble.
I suppose the people i mentioned you could consider "weird" not wearing popular brand clothing or very bizarre hairstyles, but you know, since when was being an individual a bad thing?
In society, there are topics that you obviously can't talk about freely, one of which is sex, or weight or anything "uncomfortable". Because this is society, we are plastic we don't talk about our flaws, our differences. Right? Right?
Society is a mold, an ever changing one. The people person may be willing to always adapt, make friends, be "popular". But there is more to it then that.
Those people i mentioned before? Individuals? They just don't care. Really don't. There is a sense of freedom of being yourself. They may not be socially accepted, but that doesn't bother them. You may call these people freaks, but why? They have the balls to be themselves.
I suppose this is a rant of sorts, and at the same time hopefully an eye opener for people. Things are never as they seem.
Double D me, captain.
