The Alienation of Social Conventions
Many individuals prone to awakening experience a deep skepticism towards social conventions, particularly in communication. They often feel alienated by the way conversations reinforce a sense of separation and label individuals as belonging to specific groups. This disconnection can lead them to question their own ability to relate to others, feeling as though they are the only ones who do not fit into these established norms. Over time, as they explore this discomfort, they realize that their struggle arises not from a personal inadequacy, but from a collective phenomenon of social behaviors that distract from genuine emotional connection.
