So we should just leave them be if they're otherwise perceived well by the herd?
You are free to attack her as hard as you want as long as it's not about people loving her more than they love you haha
That's fair.
A lot of the members here who are bitter at people who hurt them in the past and developed being aggressive as a coping mechanism must understand that being friendly and relaxed is all it takes to be liked by people
Does that make it right, authentic, or otherwise denote depth?
I don't know about you, but I like the people I talk to to have more going on. Why would you choose to accept someone empty other than to hear yourself talk?
What is a complex deep personality good for me if the person is a pain in the ass to me or boring?
A challenge.
I've seen what happens if both parties are handling it simply: complacency.
Also alot of people who attempt depth here are very obvious about it, attempting to display depth for the sake of depth appearance causes the opposite reaction in me.
So you find the lack thereof refreshing?
For example, the majority of people I met here have no hobbies that are non-conductive to material or social gains. Their days are spent arguing on the internet and creating squabbles to scratch that emptiness itch where I think there should have been a pursuit like learning or doing something that makes them happy and is also creative in some form.
If they feel a sense of fulfillment that to their minds is equal to that of a person who otherwise makes something of themselves, does their success in the collective world really matter? What if arguing ('debate') on the internet is their hobby?
I otherwise agree when it comes to the more blatantly trapped cases, like Blanc.
Instead the pursuits of the majority of people are social games and drama, in an eternal chase for narc supply to not fall into emptiness.
Have you become ascetic or something since we last spoke?
I don't really see the problem with indulging in socializing, the appetite for it contributing to the illusion of it meaning something. Why rebuff it?
People who are friendly and opaque come across as mysterious and also self-fulfilled. No need for drama, no jealous behavior towards other members, no seeking e-popularity catch my eye.
Bits of who they are show between the lines though, which then has their inauthentic mask become like the buzzing of a fly in the room. Sure I could try to ignore the fly, let it keep buzzing around, or I could do something about it. Once you've seen their motivations it's not like you can just ignore them.
To say one thing but then display the other, I'm sure you understand the bait of it.
