Socially smart people often won’t tell you to your face when they disagree with you because they can sense intuitively that you are too attached to the outcome of the interaction and that you couldn’t handle disagreement. So they will just agree with you… but then you might not hear from them again.
It’s easy to assume this is “fake” when really it’s just what intelligent people do to protect their energy. If you went around saying what you really thought all of the time you’d make way too many enemies, and get in way too many unproductive arguments (cortisol spikes = aging)
Of course the only way to make genuine connections is to say what you really think… but especially if you intend to be deeply involved in society, you must train your intuition to know who can take it.
You're supposed to use every unfair advantage you have. Looks, genetics, connections, dad's money, whatever.
There's nothing noble about choosing the hardest path just to feel like an underdog.
Overheard at my local pub:
"I'm 60 years old and don't have enough money to retire and Elon Musk has a trillion dollars. Its a messed up world."
The guy was sitting at a pub drinking $7 beers for like 3 hours.
Once it went public that women have casual sex for free, many men - ever the lovable problem solvers - began to think "how can I be that guy" instead of "how can I get that girl"
@Heavenly_Race_ You shared a realization that is only relatable to very high IQ individuals and expected twitter to understand?😂😂
The outrage in the response proves the point of the post
lions in nature don't lose their hair but ones in captivity do
chimps in nature don't masturbate but one's in captivity doo
mice in a fun environment avoid drugs but the ones in captivity overdose on them
you're sick and depressed because you're a caged animal
not because something is wrong with you
