You and everyone except psychopaths cares about tribes even if you don't think you do. Tribe = society. Social exclusion = death.

You can find new friends thanks to internet. Flat earthers and religious communities have more strong relations IRL than us here

Well what I mean is it doesn't matter if you piss off your tribe these days because you can just find another one that aligns better with you instead. No need to fake it to fit in. This is what's so great about today's globalised society and internet. There's always people like you somewhere within reach.

I could totally not live in a small country town where I'd be forced to pretend to be religious and care about sports. And I'm into other stuff like polyamory that small communities tend to hate.

So yeah that would be hell for me. I probably would end up excluded.

I also tend to change pretty radically every few years or so. Including finding a new country to live, new hobbies etc. So I have few long term ties anyway. I like it like that. I tend to feel trapped in too stable situations.

You are a sociopath. This tends to reduce with age. Trust me for normies it's an insane scenario.

You seem to be specifically trying to show how you're not like most people, so in a way you support my point!

> So yeah that would be hell for me. I probably would end up excluded.

Why hell, if you don't have ties anyway and you are fine? You are contradicting yourself

> I also tend to change pretty radically every few years or so. Including finding a new country to live, new hobbies etc. So I have few long term ties anyway. I like it like that. I tend to feel trapped in too stable situations.

Yeah so if your long term ties were religious or flat earth you would likely be that too. Because people don't usually fuck with long term ties. Re my point

Hmm maybe I am a sociopath then. One thing though is that I do respect other people a lot. I just won't bend my identity to fit in. If we don't gel I don't fight them but I'll just leave. But yeah if that makes me a sociopath that's fine, I am what I am :3 I'm not young by the way.

I would mind being excluded, like I said I do have communities, I just find them to fit me not change me to fit them. Most communities I'm in are also super open and accepting of that anyway.

In a small town this would be difficult obviously, and things like poly and lgbt are more hated there.

> Yeah so if your long term ties were religious or flat earth you would likely be that too.

My parents were religious when I was young. They had me baptised. But by the time more stuff had to happen (communion I think?) I had already decided I hated religion and wanted nothing to do with it. My parents were ok with that. My grandparents were pretty pissed because they were really catholic but I always hated that side of the family anyway.
