> when people feel isolated, they become more sensitive to social threats and more likely to misinterpret interactions negatively, through the lens of rejection "I think they are saying that they want lasagna." C'mon, don't be assholes. There is plenty of evidence that teenagers were encouraged to ostracize certain personas (other teenagers!), and that behavior spread out of control to more age groups and unforseen interactions. The hubris of trying to generate little soldiers destroyed our cultural inheritance. "The lens of rejection", great. I heard pagliaci is in town, you should go see him, he can cheer you up. I mean, I heard psychology is in vogue, maybe you should all see one. Please, stop this shit. Let the internet die in peace instead of juicing the last drops of it to try and make yourselves look good.
