>>42320816the outcast is making his first stunted step into discovering his identity and personhood, it came too early, splintering from the pack naturally comes after socialization in middle age, and people who want to remain part of the herd all their life are themselves stunted. this is why bullied kids become artists and celebrities later on if they survive, and why there is a fetishization of mental illness among twitter trannies. it precariously rests on if he can survive the trauma of individuating. meanwhile the sheep herd-member will be dragged around into any socially acceptable atrocity like lemmings off the cliff. look at 4chan posters, they crave being socially accepted so badly that they bully each other and come across as juvenile most of the time specifically for trying to force a social norm, but they miss the boon to personal identity and developing a robust ego that can come from splitting off from the pack. the school shooter is just consumed by the trauma of it all. in reality any source of pain can trigger a premature split from the pack. there is a correct time for both in life. the inner rewards and outward creative expression to one who prematurely splits are great if he can survive.
