Granted I wasn't there to hear it, but that woman you described yesterday sounded more like a simple raging extrovert -- who simply cannot imagine how someone might live his life without defining himself by what groups he belongs to (or what corporate logos he plasters himself with for everybody to see, what symbols he tatoos himself with, what he ate for dinner and posted to Facebook, etc.) To her you 'have no identity,' because her identity is defined purely socially (well, at least to her).<br /><br />Likewise this guy probably defines himself more by his interest(s) and what he has accomplished, and probably wouldn't have much patience for the woman from yesterday. Or care what she thought of him. But his work give him meaning.<br /><br />Mostly people seem to be falling into extremes of the two. OK, probably kind of unhealthy.... but increasingly, it is harder and harder to even get up to dealing with 'the other side.' In some cases, maybe unhealthy to even try...Scotthttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12915297057336831151noreply@blogger.com
