All most people do in their lives is live a life based on the norms of society, and when they encounter a person who cannot live their life in the same way, they feel the person is arrogant or problematic.
They are people whose words are like a mirror broken into pieces, and each piece can cut through your soul because it shakes the foundation of your beliefs. People like their life to be oriented, but these rare, questioning people make others face their ignorance—what they have tried to run away from. These people are like mirrors for others; that’s why people hate them, and society tries to shut them down, because they cause tension and questions.
So if you can’t bear the people around you, like me, you’re not alone and hopeless; you just haven’t found the people who match what you want from a connection. People don’t like you not because you aren’t likable, but because you show them what they don’t like to see—like a mirror.
Maybe solitude is the price you pay for seeing too much, because if others could see what you see, they couldn’t bear living a second of their lives.
P.S.: These ideas have been nested in me by Schopenhauer.
