and must be properly experienced

2018-03-03 12:26:48 UTC  

I see.

2018-03-03 12:26:58 UTC  

Now that might all sound a bit out there but its the basis for western marketing

2018-03-03 12:27:02 UTC  

and still is

2018-03-03 12:27:13 UTC  

And what if you were abandoned by society?

2018-03-03 12:27:31 UTC  

well thats another construct

2018-03-03 12:27:36 UTC  

"society"

2018-03-03 12:27:45 UTC  

is just something you create like I said

2018-03-03 12:27:50 UTC  

it reflects you not anything else

2018-03-03 12:28:08 UTC  

Analytics psychology doesnt see humans as super rational

2018-03-03 12:28:12 UTC  

and thats okay

2018-03-03 12:28:19 UTC  

We aren't really.

2018-03-03 12:28:36 UTC  

I meant society as in the people you know and meet.

2018-03-03 12:28:58 UTC  

So if they were to abandon the person what would he do in that situation?

2018-03-03 12:29:17 UTC  

so everyone you know abandons you

2018-03-03 12:29:22 UTC  

well

2018-03-03 12:29:41 UTC  

we often engineer our own rejection

2018-03-03 12:29:46 UTC  

But,

2018-03-03 12:30:03 UTC  

society at the moment is primarily based around performance

2018-03-03 12:30:10 UTC  

and spectacle

2018-03-03 12:30:45 UTC  

So it can just be a case of not performing

2018-03-03 12:30:57 UTC  

or even undermining other peoples reality

2018-03-03 12:31:05 UTC  

Which can cause tremendous anxiety

2018-03-03 12:31:24 UTC  

I see.

2018-03-03 12:31:27 UTC  

Questioning peoples beliefs, especially a groups beliefs

2018-03-03 12:31:34 UTC  

Can be very unsettling

2018-03-03 12:31:48 UTC  

a good example of this is when you find yourself in a group sometimes

2018-03-03 12:31:50 UTC  

you might feel anxiety

2018-03-03 12:31:55 UTC  

General anxiety or just social anxiety?

2018-03-03 12:32:00 UTC  

But try and imagine it as the groups anxiety

2018-03-03 12:32:03 UTC  

Not yours

2018-03-03 12:32:20 UTC  

good group therapists often use this concept

2018-03-03 12:32:38 UTC  

well just anxiety i guess youd call it social

2018-03-03 12:32:46 UTC  

Ah ok.

2018-03-03 12:33:01 UTC  

Makes sense.

2018-03-03 12:33:46 UTC  

so an analytic therapy

2018-03-03 12:33:56 UTC  

would aim to erode defense mechanisms

2018-03-03 12:34:06 UTC  

that we've learnt to manage pain

2018-03-03 12:34:11 UTC  

but don't deal with it

2018-03-03 12:34:23 UTC  

and they can be hard to let go of

2018-03-03 12:34:33 UTC  

we all like to think we're special
