Can’t Relate

I think I need to learn that whatever I think, the mainstream population is most likely going to be the complete opposite.  I’ve always felt like an outsider when it comes to social interactions.  I mean I get along just fine with people.  I have always felt that people just don’t get me, or I don’t get them.  For example, I have never really understood romance.  Doing cheesy things for each other?  Why?  Are people generally that insecure they need this constant reinforcement of another’s feelings?  I don’t get it really.  Another thing I don’t get is this “woke” movement.  Life isn’t fair… it never will be.  There are ALWAYS two sides to the coin.  You can’t have love without hate.  You can’t have happiness without sadness.  You can’t have wealth without poverty. Etc. etc. etc.  This endless crusade to make everything equal will never work.  It will never end.  All it is accomplishing is division and systematically categorizing people into groups.  That doesn’t bring people together it just puts people into their own little “safe space”… which in reality is just some kind of cult/club, which breeds ignorance and hate.

I generally don’t get pop culture.  Almost always it seems ridiculous to me.  Take TV… it’s all garbage.  Most pop music is horrible.  Fashion trends…. ditto.  Celebrities, don’t care, they are just normal boring people who happen to be filmed.  I’m not against any of these things… I just don’t understand why so many people are drawn to them.

I know Myers-briggs isn’t the best personality tool, but I can relate to it.  According to 16personalities.com and other tests, I am the INTJ personality, the rarest type.  So I guess this makes sense why I can’t relate to people, they just think differently than I do.  So am I doomed to isolation and loneliness?  In a sense, I wouldn’t mind if it were the case the way things are going in the world.  lol
