Why People Categorize Themselves
There are 3 reasons people write.
An escape. to declutter minds. Plus its no secret that writing is a type of release. That it gets to the point that you can discover yourself. For me its similar to the tranquility sensation of absorbing how time flies when you're watching the cloud through a plane window, drifting in a vast ocean while staring at the horizon, or just lying on a secluded beach watching the sun goes down.
As a skeptic person, I would say that we all have a narcissistic side towards us which drives us to channel our point of views into a blank page without having to be disturbed or told otherwise. Imagine you're speaking to a person, and that person may or may not wholly completely agree with you - you'd get cut in the conversation. On one point, that is humbling (if you're able to wash out your desire to talk back). But regardless its irritating.
Im amazed how some can characterize in groups judging by what you did or didn't do. How much time spent to think about it. But I realized.. I don't owe an explanation at all. I could be larger than life, and watch from a distance that some statements or comments are only said aloud as that person is thinking aloud. And its not up to us how they think, or whether we should be wobbling on our stance just because they said so and so.
why do people do that ?
bus rider or car owner ?
sweet tooth or salty tooth ?
amusement park lover or nature lover ?
beach person mountain person ?
why is there a label ? is it so much information thrown at us that its eventually got thrown into categories ? Or is it the insecurities and wanting a sense of belonging. A group. A community. Again coming back to the basic needs of being a social creation. Do us getting heard and the thought that our thoughts are being out there purrs our needs of social existence ?
Back on the narcistic side. We all have a hedonistic nature. I learnt that from my kid. He wants instant pleasures right there and then. Now that I stepped back and think, that sounds pretty much how I am too. We are used to the age of instant gratification - from being able to pull whatever information we want - across the globe is in itself have some drawbacks. Us millennials are. Its up to us to be able to filter what is beneficial to us and use our tech savvy self to act as a multiplier in order to achieve a better selfless goal, much better and faster.
How do we know were a narcissistic and to what extent? well thats another story.
