I get the feeling your adherence to social norms goes much further than simply work.
Tell me, do you pick your nose in public? Or do you refrain from that? How do you dress?
You adhere to social norms more than you think. You'd like to think of yourself as some kind of free-thinking rebel, but you're not. Get over it.
Perhaps if you actually read what ive been saying, instead of blindly following your own convictions, you wouldnt have missed this:
Originally posted by: PaperclipGodI accept social norms when theyre absolutely necessary for me to have a successful life. Thats not to say i'm some grand advocate of the non-conformist (which in itself is bizarre, but i digress) - there are many "norms" that ive simply come to accept and not think twice about. Yet there are some, such as this profanity taboo, that just make too little sense to apathetically accept.
Ironically, you even responded to that very post.
I've BEEN reading what you've been saying... And all I see is a whole lot of backpeddling. You claim social norms are pointless, yet you follow them more than you'd like to admit. You're a wannabe rebel.
