Just recently I've been pretty aware of this social ladder thing. You know, there's always social hierarchy in schools, colleges and universities.
They have this thing in each an every school.
And coming to college make me feel more aware about all these.


So, see, at the top of the ladder, it's always the cool group that other people like and people wanna be. In Asians, they're usually more likable and stuffs like that. In other words, they're socially smart. And with socially smart, comes intellectually smart, which also comes with bunch of people who are superb in sports. And God wants to be so unfair and make the guys handsome and the girls pretty. Like, seriously? Bloody hell, why are these people good in all these. And usually, they will sit the back of the bus if there's some sort of trip. Not enough somore, these people also have money. Really, do they have to make us feel that our life is miserable? And they're Facebook friends list can explode, where some ended up opening a second/third account.

Below the cool group comes the... normal people, which made up of majority of the population of the world. And I of course, happen to fall into this group. Normal people are just plain normal. Take me for example, I am normal. I don't have that many friends to begin with, only a few really good friend whom I'll kiss to death.

And below normal people, it's the normally stereotype nerds but I group these people under normal people too. For me, the ones at the lowest part of the ladder is the extreme geeks and nerds. They don't know how to socialise, no Facebook and the vintage Friendster. Basically, they don't have friends at all.

It's sad how our society works according to hierarchy. All these socializing thing, it's... such a pressure sometimes. You know how people always say, "Come on, let's go socialize! Don't be so introvert." Really, when they say socializing, what do they really mean? I mean, most people socialize just for the sake of socializing. Just because it's important nowadays. It's like knowing more people will be better.

Then, what happen to the traditional friendship thing? What happens to the friends stick to friends thing? Nowadays, we all socialize just because we wanna promote our image, we want ourselves to be made known by more people, to get to the "cool" group. Nobody actually cares much sincere friendship where friends protect friends.

Which explains why in those "cool" groups, there're always scandals, backstabs, lies and stuffs. To be perfectly honest, after coming to Subang, sometimes, I can feel like this. There are times when paranoia comes and I feel that there's lies, backstabs and the smiling-in-your-face-but-gossiping-behind-your-back.

Friendship now is so fragile merely because so many of us are taught to "socialize". Friendships are easily ruined because of a third party. We have so little faith in our good friends that whatever misunderstanding that actually happened, we all quickly conclude it as something bad and thus, damaging friendships.


Hmm... this is such an emo post.
But err.. informative.
And boring.
