The Great Perils of Social Interaction
“There is an intricate set of thousands of social rules, and we’re all sharply attuned to them.
If we weren’t, we’d be sent away somewhere. Even being nearly perfect will get you
into trouble - you can have 98% of the rules down cold, but that last 2% will leave you with a reputation of “rude” or “weird” or “creepy.””
I’m back to promoting the blogs of Tim Urban! I love the humour he uses to put everyday weirdness into the spotlight, and ask interesting questions
about this strange species called Humans.
Like this….. “Unless it’s specifically part of your culture, no one under the age of 18 kisses people when they greet them, and as you move into the adult world, you’re just expected to figure out when to kiss people during a greeting”
