The Mind of a Deep Analyist

    Today, someone (who shall remain nameless) told me that they were smarter than me.  Confused, I asked them why they entertained such a thought which screamed “Hey, I have an inferiority complex, but I refuse to admit to it.”  They told me, “Because everything you say is stupid.”
I asked this person a question which they could not answer.  They quickly countered with a question about an equally obscure topic.  Fair enough.  Then I asked them “Can you explain the theory of relativity?”
They told me to shut up.  My suspicions were confirmed.  This person did, in fact, have an inferiority complex.  Once confronted with such a difficult question on such a well-known topic, this person wanted me to stop talking, because they felt that they had lost the argument.  Nothing amuses me more than someone who makes a statement that they cannot support.
Then, I realized that I had just participated in teenage drama, and my amusement died.  I had just entered into a world which I try so hard to avoid.  I intend to never return to that place again, even if I must remain an outcast of society until graduation.  Instead, I shall explain why I try so hard to avoid such a world.
The world of teenage drama is often depicted as a world in which certain people believe themselves to be above everyone else.  It is portrayed as a society built from stereotypes based on extracurricular activities and financial security.  I find it to be a very accurate picture.
Of course, even among the complete stereotypes, certain people still hold faint traces of personality.  Some people are into different things even if they do belong to the same clique.  However, such traces are either miniscule in value or covered by the desire to a fully accepted member of the clique.  The latter is a better thing to have, because they still hold a secret desire to be in a completely open-minded society and can function better in a more professional and mature setting.  Of course, neither one will find itself to be useful in any situation.
Treatment in high school all boils down to three factors: money, extracurricular activities, and personality.  The personality is easily the most important of the factors.  The more robotic you are, the easier you are to change.  When you are maleable, people will be more likely to speak to you, because you follow every social trend with no mind of your own.  Of course, in order to be a social robot, you must sacrifice any hint of individuality.
The dating scene seems to have been worst affected by stereotypes.  Girls seem to thing from their hearts, while guys think from their penises; neither one wants to think with their brain.  The girls want to be in lasting relationships, whereas the guys see no point in being in a lasting relationship if they cannot have sex.  It is as if they are 7-year-olds in the bodies of hormonal teenagers.
To the guy, it is scarcely a matter of love for the girl, but a matter of competition with his friends.  He will only do for the girl whatever it takes to have sex with her.  Afterward, he will tell his peers what he has done, and they will be proud of him, thus securing his faith in himself.  That feeling of self-accomplishment and notability from his peers allows the guy to fill his void of secret insecurity.  If he does not have sex with her, then his friends will begib to believe that he is homosexual.  In a region as homophobic and ignorant as Eastern Kentucky, that is a frightening thing to be.
The girls, on the other hand, are generally hopeless romantics.  For them, if a relationship lasts for more than six months, then he is the only man for her and she must marry him.  The fact of the matter is that whether she realizes it or not, she doesn’t want to marry him so much as she just wants to get married.
I have personally asked many girls if they would rather be with a shy romantic versus an outgoing pervert.  They unanimously chose the romantic over the pervert.  One more thing must be noted: they all were dating an outgoing pervert.  Most of these girls have distorted views of their boyfriend.  They feel that just because he is with her that he is better than any other man on the face of the Earth.  The simple fact of the matter is that he is not.  Her insecurity has led her to live in a fantasy world in which her boyfriend is not part of the search for a future commitment, but he IS that future commitment.
Insecurity is one of the absolute most powerful killers of civilized living.  The “inferiors” (as I call us) usually, feel the need to undermine another person in order to put themself above.  Inferiority also has two completely different side-effects: competition and seclusion.  For men, the usual side effect is actually competition rather than undermining.  I have chosen the path of seclusion, so that I do not feel the stupidity of the competitors or the guilt of undermining.
That is why I choose to walk my own path, and stay away from such an immature and unintelligent society.  Fortunately, there are people who defy the stereotypes, but they are few and far between.
So go ahead and don’t talk to me.  Don’t invite me to your parties.  Continue to not recognize me as an entity of any sort.  I would rather be my own person than be a robot such as yourself.
