#antisocial

I am a naturally sane and good-natured person who always looks on the bright side of life. I look out for everyone. Shy, honest, anxious, determined, cat lover, antisocial, pluviophile, funny, boring. I try to bring out the best in people. Caring, oblivious, vindictive, creative, trustworthy, indignant, self-pitying, verbose, introspective, affectionate. I am a very caring person who's looking for making people's days a bit brighter and
Insecure, shy, reserved, distrusting, understanding, ride or die, funny, witty, intelligent, chunky but funky
Empathetic, self-motivated, nonjudgmental, endlessly curious about the human condition, introspective. Empathetic, dog-lover, insecure, easy-going, wine-lover, intelligent, sensitive but strong, hard working, perfectionist. How would I describe myself? Three words. Hard-working, Alpha male, Jackhammer. Merciless. Insatiable. You and me both. Worst part is knowing it and knowing that I'll suspect tremendous potential until the day I die, having achieved nothing to measure up to what I suspect could have been.
I'm happy and funny and smart and good looking and radiant and medium build and brown eyes and well read and I love rock and roll and I live in the city but I wish I lived on a farm but not too far out 'cause I like to party and socialise and go to movies and shows and i like shoe shopping and sometimes I feel a bit guilty for eating all the ice cream but mostly I'm OK with roast beef for dinner but I also like pizza for a change and I like Reddit a lot and I sometimes play Guitar Hero but only when there isn't any Mock the Week on repeat on Dave and sometimes I like to cycle to the park and sit and check all the hot mommas out and every time I go home and touch myself I die a little inside.
I got asked this in a job interview not too long ago. It completely threw me off guard (it was my first real job interview) and I really had a hard time coming up with a good answer right away. I was literally slurring my words. Needless to say, I didn't. Visionary, I suppose. I have the habit of always drifting off into thought and coming up with ideas, theories and explanations randomly in my head based on stuff I see. It's a habit of mine, I guess. I always like to come up with my own solutions for things. Check out the synonyms: admirable, alluring, angelic, appealing, attractive, beauteous, bewitching, charming, classy, comely, cute, dazzling, delicate, delightful, divine, easy on the eyes, elegant, enticing, excellent, exquisite, fair, fascinating, fine, foxy*, good-looking, gorgeous, graceful, grand, handsome, ideal, lovely, magnificent, marvelous, nice, pleasing, pretty, radiant, ravishing, refined, resplendent, shapely, sightly, splendid, statuesque, stunning, sublime, superb, symmetrical, taking, well-formed, wonderful.

I'm extremely antisocial, anti-outdoorsy stuff, and I love to stay indoors.

---

Reason? One person occupies me 24/7/365 and that's the way I like it.

---

Whether we watch something, eat, spend a day videogaming, or read books - we're doing the same thing at the same time and that's all the time.

---

It's almost scary how I have spent several years pretending that I am not a part of this world.

---

And how MY WORLD is at the risk of coming crashing down to pieces if that one relationship doesn't stand the test of time. Although it has, for 4 years now.

---

I know a lot of philosophy, I love art, science intrigues me, but I'm not passionate about any of that.

---

I'm passionate about having someone to talk to, someone who fits, and someone who makes me feel less cold, less lonely.

---

Because in the end, that's all that matters.

It is not only possible but probable.
Think about all of the living organisms that roam the earth. Which one creates multiple languages, reasons, utilizes logic, solves problems, builds machines, travels into outer space, is planning a trip to Mars? In my opinion, humans were transported to earth approximately 300,000 years go. The question is why? My guess is because humans are self destructive creatures that destroy everything they touch and are primarily motivated by greed, hate, anger and lust.

---

Now suppose there are more advanced life forms that exist in one of the billions of universes. Does anyone reading this believe for one second that any advanced civilization would tolerate human greed, hate, envy, lust, murder, war and a host of other anti-social and self destructive behaviors for one second? I doubt it! Instead, I think humans would be placed upon a spacecraft as an unwanted and defective species to be transported into deep space and forced to live on an isolated planet where they could destroy one another. And of course this is precisely what is happening, and has been happening for over 100,000 years.

I had mostly everything I could ask for. I learned how to ride a bike at a really young age. I was born and raised in the west coast so I was always outside doing something like riding my bike around town or playing basketball.
Growing up was pretty shitty. I was a fat kid from a single mom home. Mom worked her ass off for us, but wasn't around too much because of it. Went to school in a not-too-nice area. Wasn't a complete ghetto with bullets flying around, but there was a stabbing on campus while I was there. 2 people I graduated with are now on death row for rape and murder. So it wasn't Compton but it wasn't exactly safe either. 50% of the school spoke no English. Entire classes were taught in Spanish. Was pretty crazy. Got bullied a ton. I wanted to do well in school and I learned that if you fight back you get suspended too, so I just took it. I had kids who would kick/hit at me just to laugh at how white skin changes color (becomes whiter for a second) from the pressure "Look it left a footprint on him!" Kept my head down, worked hard at getting good grades, and got the hell out of there. Went across the nation for college because I wanted to get the hell out so badly. Now life is good. I've got a good job that pays well, a lovely wife, 2 great young kids (2 years and 3 months each). College was a blast. Made all the world of difference to get the hell out of a bad area and into a place where people wanted to be smart. Spoiled only child who got most of the things I wanted, although I was taught not to want too much. Learned to talk and read early, school was a joke, got good grades every year without trying and largely without studying or doing the required homework. Now I am not even a year out of college making good money working regular (7-5ish) hours. Personality is largely unchanged, I'm very nice to most people but also very entitled to my opinion and don't do well around stupid people or people who can't be criticized. Main hobbies include guns, art, music, snowboarding, videogames, weightlifting. Tl;dr, I was a spoiled only child and I think I ended up becoming a pretty good guy (especially taking into account the type of people I see more and more every day. The quality of people I see on a daily basis is becoming more and more disappointing.)
I had a tough time, we were on and off homeless, my mom bailed on my dad right after my brother was born. My dad is back to being homeless My life's not terrible, trying to figure out ways financially to afford college and work in Ca, and I live with roommates. Trying to find a new job so I can struggle a little less, I definitely work too hard to be this poor.
I was hyperactive in grade school and I got yelled at so much by my teachers I started wearing hoodies every day by 5th grade and by freshman year of highschool I had become mostly antisocial outside of my small group of friends. Still don't do well making new friends.

"Social Media" by Nico

---

My greatest concern with social media is that people are communicating in a virtual environment that is devoid of physical contact. Unfortunately, this lack of physical contact has profound negative consequences when people are forced to participate in human to human contact whether it be teaching or giving a public speech or even performing in front of an audience. Too often, the conversation, when it involves face to face contact, is awkward and the person addicted to social media becomes anxious and depressed because eye contact makes them uncomfortable and their inability to utilize auditory senses to actually listen, has been significantly impaired which results in difficulty concentrating and suboptimal attention. Other symptoms may include, looking down, fidgeting, playing with their hair, lack of concentration, disinterest and the inability to observe and interpret body language. In fact, this anti-social behavior is so extreme that many times the person obsessed with social media begins texting on their iPhone while in the middle of a conversation! As if this dysfunctional behavior somehow makes them "cool" or "special" when, in fact, it is extremely rude and disrespectful.

---

Therefore, I believe that social media is killing the art of face to face communication while debating on social networks is impossible because opposing points of view have been discouraged by labeling dissenting views as "hate speech" thereby ensuring that only one ideology or perspective on life, reality, politics, religion, etc., is ever heard. And if the dissenting viewpoint is heard, is it quickly labeled and dismissed as "white supremacist or racist or bigoted or insensitive or mean, hateful, obnoxious, homophobic, anti-feminist, misogynist, NAZI, climate denier, Covid Super-spreader, smelly Walmart shopper, knuckle dragger, Neanderthal, conservative or Christian."

---

I understand that social media have also allowed people from around the world to communicate effectively with each other, which is good; but, more often than not, those who do communicate either gossip, talk nonsense, use social networks as a dating site, or they use social networks to cancel and destroy the reputation of people with whom they disagree. So, I believe that a strong argument could be made that social media have done more harm than good and that social media are largely responsible for the social chaos, cancel culture and woke ideology that is currently destroying our families, our communities, our countries and our world.

"Amygdala" by Nico, Illustration by Debuglies

---

Overactive amygdala or having one amygdala that is smaller than the other has been associated with fear and anxiety disorders. Fear is an emotional and physical response to danger. Anxiety is a psychological response to something that is perceived as dangerous. Anxiety can lead to panic attacks that occur when the amygdala sends signals that a person is in danger, even when there is no real threat. Anxiety disorders associated with the amygdala include: Obsessive Compulsive Disorder (OCO), Post Traumatic Stress Disorder (PTSD), Borderline Personality Disorder (BPD), and Social Anxiety Disorder and could also contribute to the following antisocial personalities: Personality sociopath, psychopathic personality and character neurosis.
As a species, we are xenophobic, jealous of our peers, competitive for status, and inclined toward violence. When it serves our purpose, we have the urge to lie, cheat, and steal. The fact is that children require experiences of socialization, love and nurturing, constant punishment for misbehavior, role models, positive reinforcement of prosocial behaviors, encouragement of empathic identifications with other living beings, and knowledge and respect for the rules of civilized society. , if they want to be good citizens when they become adults.
Let me finish by saying this: I believe that criminals have a conscience to a lesser or greater extent depending on their genetic predisposition and personal experiences. Many criminals refuse to assimilate and follow the rules that govern our society and develop impulsive behaviors and antisocial behaviors such as lying, cheating, stealing and murder to achieve their goals and achieve the result they desire without any consideration or regard to who gets hurt in the process.

"Moral Conscience" by Nico, Illustration by Wonderopolis

To answer this question, one would have to understand the role that genetics and the environment play in the development of our consciousness. Since the "science" behind this is still being debated, reasonable people must conclude that both environment and genetics contribute to the development of antisocial behaviors and what some call "lack of awareness."
I believe that human beings are not born with a consciousness, but rather are born with the potential to develop a consciousness based on a genetic predisposition and its environmental stimuli or experiences. If, for example, we observe the behavior of a baby, we can clearly see that the baby reacts to its surroundings by crying, screaming, and various aggressive behaviors designed to get the attention of its primary caregivers so that its needs can be met. Does the baby understand evil? Most rational parents would admit that babies don't know right from wrong nor would they suggest that a baby has a developed or functional conscience. If true, this would imply that the environment and society play a role in the child's development of consciousness.
Does genetics play a role in the development of a consciousness? The simple answer is yes; however, this response must be qualified by stating that physicians, neurologists, psychiatrists, and biologists continue to research and debate the issue of nature or nurture. There is some agreement that the amygdala plays a central role in processing sensory information and affects how this information is processed and stored in memory. So what exactly is the amygdala?
The amygdala is an almond-shaped mass of nuclei (mass of cells) located deep in the temporal lobes of the brain. There are two tonsils, one located in each brain hemisphere. The amygdala is a structure of the limbic system that is involved in many of our emotions and motivations, particularly those that are related to survival. It is involved in the processing of emotions such as fear, anger, and pleasure. The amygdala is also responsible for determining what memories are stored and where memories are stored in the brain. This determination is believed to be based on the enormous emotional response that an event evokes. (continued in Amygdala)
