Your worst fear? Options

[Melissa]

I'm sure there's a topic like this somewhere out there, but anyways.

What's your worst fear?

I'm constantly afraid of the people I trust and love turning on me or deserting me.

Isn't it common, necessary for survival, even, for humans to want to be accepted? To live a life of isolation from your peers because you're not accepted is probably one of the hardest things to tolerate.

I think everyone who says things like, "I like to be independent and different from everyone else, regardless of what other people think" are just kidding themselves. To a certain extent, we all care about what other people think of us. It's one thing to be independent, and another entirely to not care at all about others' opinions. Biologically, evolutionarily, psychologically, we all want to be accepted to lead a happier life. And if you don't want to be happy, there's probably something wrong with you.

Just my 2 cents lols.

Yeah, no.

What we are biologically predisposed to doesn't have bearing on our incentives as an analytical component. Darwinism is a biological circumstance, but Richard Dawkins will be the first to tell you that it makes for a very poor societal structure.

I don't care what people think of me. Being hardwired to a different inclination, as a social creature, doesn't change what I choose to act upon.

Living on $1.00 a day without a solid roof over your head in apartheid destabilization is tough to tolerate. Having no friends is laughably inconsequential to me.
