If the era of narcissism - the society of ideal people - is leaving, then who will replace them?
Who will these personalities be that do not strive to amaze with their intelligence, beauty or success? Those who do not fall into shame and pain if someone more majestic is nearby?
How will these people communicate with each other? What will they love? What will inspire or upset them? What will be important for them and make up the meaning of life?
What will the world they create look like?
It seems to me that this will be a world similar to a Buddhist monastery, in which there is a practice of silence, and its inhabitants hardly interact in our usual understanding. And at the same time, this system works perfectly, everyone knows what to do and takes exactly the place where it can be realized in the best way.
The era of narcissism is being replaced by the era of introverted people. It sounds a little odd, but that's the best way to say it.
More and more people prefer to stay with themselves than in society.
Such people are also called autistic (but not in the clinical sense).
An autistic person can successfully interact with others - as long as he wants. If the situation becomes stressful or too incomprehensible, then he simply gets out of contact.
It is believed that autistic people have almost no feelings.
I know that it is not so. There are many feelings and their intensity is very high, almost unbearable. But it is not possible to identify them.
And this makes it even more difficult - because you can't even understand what caused such a storm of emotions, when it started and what to do about it …
And you want to run away from everyone, lock yourself at home, hide in the sink, fall asleep - whatever you want to stop it.
When I talked about this with one girl, she told me that she has it too.
If she gets too tired or worried, she stops understanding the words. Another person stands right in front of her, she sees how he articulates, she hears his voice, but the meaning of the words remains incomprehensible to her.
And then she just notes this fact. For her, this is a signal that something very significant has just happened to her.
And also: that you need to take time for solitude, for rest and reflection.
But, you know, such loneliness can be very pleasant!
To be alone in your own cozy world and never again face the uncertainty and complexity of the outside is very tempting.
Those who know how to immerse themselves in their inner space are well aware)
And yet, we are made to need each other.
Even in a Buddhist monastery, the level of "external" noise is reduced as much as possible, but communication between its inhabitants continues.
Because a person cannot stay in his inner space indefinitely.
Life, as you know, in a vacuum is not possible.
