Introvert
Perhaps the best way to completely disgust yourself with the society we live in, is to just sit there and watch. Be silent. Just listen.
I do this quite often. I'm not shy really, just introverted. Its arose an extreme hate within me for people in general. When you're quiet you hear what it is that everyone else has to talk about; a whole lot of nothing. Gossip about others unfourtunate lives, "don't tell anyone though". Are they blind? Everybody tells somebody. Every ugly word that escapes peoples mouths disgusts me. Who cares what that girls pants looked like that just walked by, leave that poor girl alone thats rumoured to be pregnant at sixteen. Do you really have nothing about yourself to say? Why is it only things about others, or things of complete insignificance that people choose to speak of? We live in a society that fears silence, is why. No one realizes how beautiful silence can really be. When nothing's being said people panic. If you can be with somebody, and not feel the need to speak if there is nothing to say that IS healthy. Silence is not awkward. Silence is not unhealthy. Silence is a gift, and a time to simply be around someone and be able to feel content.
