Why Does Society Punish Those Individuals Who Opt Out Of The Implicit Social Contract So Severely And Who Are Perfectly Fine Going Their Own Way?

Because Other People May Notice What They Did And Follow Suit.

Society doesn t exist it more like a concept imo.
People should follow my footsteps. The village idiot.
To that conceptual society for all i know. :ROFLMAO:

Go your own way 100%, social contact s bring a weight. Being open.
Do question at times where did i get myself into, is that anxiety ?
The F.E.A.R.



Annoiting comes to mind, or human nature. It is annoying.
Making connection s with other s, even when it feel s right.
My gut feeling instantly says No. a sort of auto-mated response.
Can t go back. After doing it. Spontaneous on intuition.
Happened 3 times in 7 year s. Also on this site.

Bluelight is a great place to practice socializing skills, low-panic.



But practice with talk s with anonymous people about daily.
Random chit-chat s. Are like watering the plants.

"The Implicit Social Contract is an unwritten,, mutual agreement in which individuals, businesses, or groups agree to conform to certain social norms, behaviors, or responsibilities—such as abiding by laws, paying taxes, or acting responsibly—in exchange for social order, protection, benefits, or legitimacy from the governing body or community."

I assume you are on about "The West" here as in The UK, USA, Europe etc?........
Take India for example, their Society doesn't punish any Naga Baba (Naked holy man who is homeless & gets stoned every day) for example.

What type of punishment do these people get?

When not adapting, acclimatizing, naturalizing or being assimilated.
In US/ Britain and Europe a.o. wild guess. If this is what the OP meant ?
I am from the South ? Rotterdam-Zuid.

It s a free choice. Sort of requires a sacrifice. Wanna be part of the crew.
You join a amateur Bowl s [not Bowling !] club and a religious sub-culture.

 
Why Do You Capitalize The First Letter Of Every Word? Ric Flair?? (Joke for the 'woo' fans) I dont really care and you dont need to answer that -- I had to try it and it was a bit more work though!

The world runs on conformity.

Most succinct answer I can give to such a broad query

Isn’t the Naga Baba in this case adhering to a different social contract?

What if confirming is not a option.

Conforming is not an option. (In my mind -- well certainly not MY best option). In contexts that make sense - I will wear black to a funeral im not gunna go against the grain "Just to do it", im not that guy either.
(If everyone felt that way it WOULD BE A PROBLEM -- I thought the 1% biker thing stood for the 1 percent of bikers in MC clubs that did not conform to the law. (Which isn't totally inaccurate but there is a whole mythos behind it I missed)

My behavior is dictated by principles and when conformity does not contradict with principles -- I gotta go by situational context.

Blah blah milgrim studies most ppl would shock someone to death if they believed 'legitimate authority' was pressuring them to do so.

The power of conformity is strong in the US right now. Conformity was a big problem in germany. Or a very useful tool for power -- depends how ya wanna see it I guess.

We were able to cut there soldiers down cuz they would step in the way of bullets opposed to stepping on the grass (In some/many cases) -- that level of conformity is madness.

1%ers are a great example that to be a nonconformist in today's society means you have to be an actual outlaw, but i think the reason is more insidious than social pressure

it's money pressure

not being able to pay for the ever-increasing cost of basic survival is punished brutally by western society

so people get more extreme in checking out, like how big vanlife community has gotten. they ain't paying no damn property taxes!
 
  • pause one breath before speaking. it prevents impulse blurting.
  • say what you mean, not what sounds impressive. clarity beats flair.
  • short sentences > long rambling ones. people process clean lines.
  • listen to the last word they say before replying. it stops cutting in.
  • match volume and pace to the room. regulation is contagious.
  • correct yourself quickly if you misspeak. “sorry — what I meant was…” resets everything.
  • compliment specifics, not vagueness. “that colour suits you” > “nice.”
  • don’t argue tone; adjust yours first. tone is half the message.
  • ask one clear question instead of three messy ones. focus invites focus.
  • leave space after important points. silence lets meaning land.
  • exit conversations cleanly. “good to see you — I’ll catch you later.”
  • protect your baseline. if an interaction destabilises you, shorten it or step away.

tell me if i'm way off base with this, htis simple communication stuff changed me to my core
