The object of the social game

[firecat]

If you think the object of the social game is to "never bother anyone" or "have everyone like you," then for sure it isn't fair or winnable. Not by anyone. But if the object of the game is to "find a few people you get along with," then it's winnable because you don't end up losing if you happen to bother some people.

Another goal to play the social game for might be "Develop the ability to get along with more people." Yet another goal to play for might be "Understand all the ways people can be different, so that if someone gets bothered, you have a better idea of why."

So which goals are you playing for?

I think my problem is I gave up on the game. I am me and if they don't like it, then they can go climb a tree. If someone can accept me then more than likely I will be more than happy to be friends. I'm fairly easy going that way.

So, I guess the game is surviving through some lonliness and waiting until I meet someone who will accept me for me and not worry about the rest.
