Thu, March 22, 2007 - 12:56 AMI'm just an anthropology books geek but from my personal experience it means that you got the 'observer' part down. Now its time to work on the 'participant' side of things. -

I'm with you I feel weird in crowds, I automatically head to the periphery -

Sat, March 24, 2007 - 12:40 AMThe last few Festivals I was at I was getting all 'Discovery Channel' in my perspective and saw that the 'collective-gathering' was a potent medicine for the social beast. I too pull out to the perifery when I need to, but gosh how sweet to see the other original works of the genesis of mother Earth.Ok... I might'a been high too,...but still, the Human hive doesn't always get to see it's constituents. -

Re: Anthropophobics
Sat, March 24, 2007 - 3:12 PMCan you ever say you know someone?
Personally, I can't even say I know myself.
Even though my perspective is so extremely relativistic that it's practically egocentrism,
I can't point to myself I say that I really know me.
Luckily, I don't have to be surrounded by myself.
That would only lead to conflict and trouble,
my personality just doesn't work out with itself.
I don't hate anything or anyone.
Dislike perhaps, but not hate.
When I moved to where I live now,
I didn't know anyone here.
It took months before I could acknowledge that I wasn't alone.
To be honest though, I enjoyed my time here more then.
Enjoyed might not be the right word though,
it was probably that I felt more free.
Prejudice binds you.
A place is populated, and the population thinks things about you.
You're always subject to people's sanctions, whether you're involved or not.
