Meanwhile, children who have more siblings tend to be more adept at navigating the social world, and as with adults, children who spend more time alone are more susceptible to interpreting social situations in self-defeating ways.

Apart from the inability to form relationships, loners also prefer to stick to familiar routines and are often thrown by slight changes in circumstances. Like Robert, they can be arrogant, overestimating their own abilities. As children, loners tend to have special interests verging on obsessions - coin collecting, train-spotting, electronics - pursued single-mindedly and alone. Others create a fantasy world into which they can periodically withdraw: one child invented an island with its own language, legal and political system. The fantasy began when he was four and persisted into adult life. These obsessions and fantasies seem to replace normal human relationships.

Posts: 22248When I like so much to share about passion, on my sports, even sometimes a bit complicate to communicate with foreigners, but really interesting to share a bit of passion, each one on own level, facing yourself for level, but really enjoyable and even giving new energy. Sometimes meeting while climbing, and climbing together for a while, even not speaking much, not to waste energy, but you hear breathe rhythm and you know. More complicated on extreme free ride, but when sometimes arriving above a blind hidden spot like above Chancel lake la Grave la Meije, impossible to see below, but since 2003, now I know a bit for 2 spots, even never the same, but at least I know the way and for rocks everywhere, so sometimes opening the run for others and keeping on together for a while, feeling so alive after such run, we are all smiling, sharing our sensations, really interesting. When guys in brothels, from their behavior and words about women, like some write here from their porn culture, and when you know about stories for few here and you saw them, so pathetic and laughable compare to what they write, really not interesting level for me, I only drive for girls, but not to find a prostitute girlfriend like some here, when I don't share my girlfriends, but just for easy, fast, with no risk pleasure, when girls may think I'm in love because they are not used to such way with women, but you control all as some say, when I don't look for a girlfriend working in brothels, not even for escort, when I don't need their money, even when I meet for 15 hours on a month, but never proposed anything out of club. Woman image and behavior is just enough for my pleasure, and when you had women in real life, then You know the big difference. I really don't need to make brothels friends, when I don't need to get information about girls nor to ask to find a girl, when I have my eyes and brain to choose. Many followers went to my girls, being disappointed, made me laugh and was happy about that. We are different as say girls, so, they are different with us, and I like when they trust me following my game and return to repeat, when I won't run after to repeat, they know, they can judge, they are free to decide, as sang Dolores O Riordan with Irish Cranberries.

Posts: 236If the virus mutants are as harmless as the original sars cov2 was in winter / spring 2020.
(at the peak mid April, 3000 ill people needed a ventilator, Germany easily has 1000 hospitals who are able to handle many covid19 victims, so an average of 3 covid19 victims per hospital, far far away from collapsing).
And government don't start to double up the number of weekly tests in the near future, than the hairdressers are going to open from the 1st of March again. Good news. You know what was the explanation of government for opening the hairdressers?
Because a order, fresh haircut is hygienic!
Maybe Angie and her 16 MP's, plus a few corrupt scientists should take a look in history. As public enemies, people who didn't fit in the system and the Jewish people were sitting in concentration camps. These people had very hygienic haircuts, the whole head was completely shaved.
Hygienic haircuts.
Everybody in Germany with dreadlocks, everybody who knows someone who had dreadlocks once in lifetime, everybody who had or has long hair to make a political statement, everybody who has dry head skin from too much chemical shampoo, get up, stand up!
A bit over 2. 3 million positive test results so far. Close to 2. 1 million are officially recovered. Even without a specific Corona medicine, Germany has a recovery rate of 90.3%. Don't be afraid, just careful.
I don't talk about the death, because the saying goes "rest in peace" not "rest in propaganda".
83.6 million German citizens, 159.300 active cases. Only 0. 19% of the citizens are currently, officially infected.
Warning!

I think a lot of your points unfortunately dates us as officially old dudes as many scenarios you describe are no longer the reality for today's kids. Today's fathers don't push their sons to have stone hearts anymore. Instead of watching sports on the couch after work, today's father might be taking his kid to a Crossfit class with him and have a low carb smoothie afterwards. It's now socially acceptable to raise an emotionally sensitive boy, it may actually even be encouraged. While parents may be alarmed if their daughters have the same video game habits as boys, they are not as concerned with the girl scrolling on her phone for hours and hours on end. These girls even spend hours playing mobile games themselves on their phones.
In my worldview, I believe that it is easier to read a room full of men or boys to get a sense of the hierarchy, alliances, and any existing tensions. If it were a medieval court, it would be easy to figure out who were the noblemen, who were the knights, and who were the court jesters.
For girls and women, the relationships are much more subtle and definitely more calculating, a Game of Thrones energy really. The scenario of girls being friends with her tormentor is a charade. They're not really friends. If you think about it, I'm sure you can recall many female-female relationships that present as friendships but in realty they are just alliances for either beneficial gain for even sadomasochism as I think females actually enjoy the dramatics of social maneuvering. What's worse, the situation of the girl victim being fake friends with her bully may be even more psychosocially abusive as now she is a social captor likely subjected to the regular barrage of daily passive aggressive interactions, while not full blown conflict. Think the movie "Mean Girls."
We can chalk off this Machiavellian social dynamic as not developing until adolescence, but in recent years I have been surprised by the manipulative behaviors seen in the daughters of my friends. My peer group consists of parents of children from infants to early teens. Let me tell you, the age that scares me the most is the 5-10 year old kids, not the tweens and teenagers. In the 80's and 90's, Junior High was when kids generally divided into groups of cool kids, nerdy kids, dorky kids, rich kids, poor kids, etc. That's sort of when the the manipulative behaviors would arise, the cattiness, the snarkiness, etc.
Today, I think those dynamics arise earlier. The way I see these 8 year old girls manipulate their peers and even adults, it's scary. Extrapolating this to a school environment where kids are free to form their own groups and hierarchies with minimal adult supervision, I can imagine how twisted the social webs of 3rd and 4th grade classes can be. Think "Lord of the Flies".
Thinking back to my days as literally the only Asian-American kid in the American Deep South surrounded by mostly low income blacks and whites whose parents were largely culturally ignorant, I was definitely ostracized regularly. School bus rides home were especially dreaded as that's when the boys really tested each other as a single adult bus driver cannot see what's happening in the back of a 10 meter school bus. But many other boys were bullied by the same handful of asshole kids. As such, I can't recall a situation where there was a boy who literally had no friends or allies at all.
I think that is another key gender difference. With the girls, they are all capable of being super cunts to each other, that's their game. Boys, on the other hand, usually just have to deal with a handful of assholes that go around trying to make life hell for other kids. A bullied boy is hardly ever the only one.

Bullying among friends, also known as relational bullying, stems from a natural tendency to develop an identity based on your friends. Young people often join groups defined by who is included or excluded, experts say, but it crosses the line when it becomes a sustained campaign to hurt someone who is not currently "in."
https://edition.cnn.com/2013/10/29/living/bullying-friends/index.html.Girls use exclusion as a way to both maintain social status and keep others from obtaining social status. Girls within a friendship group can also exclude their own friends. These alliances within a friendship group can change from week to week and sometimes, day to day. In some cases, a girl may never really know where she stands in her group, and this uncertainty can cause stress and anxiety.

Society expects boys to stand up to their bullies, and not show emotional vulnerability, so boys who get bullied are more likely to hide the fact that they were bullied out of shame. And that emotional pain gets bottled up, and it festers. If a parent sees their ten-year old daughter, sitting in a dark room, playing video games 16 hours a day, that parent will probably intervene. With boys, some parents might find this behavior acceptable.

Don't you know that there like already 5 other approved vaccines besides AZ?
Maybe you don't know that AZ is different than the rest because it is a DNA vaccine, not an mRNA or attenuated live viral vaccine? Maybe you don't know that the AZ study in Africa produced zero cases of severe disease, only mild and moderate symptoms. Maybe you don't know that while AZ vaccine is not the best, it is still good enough to decrease the number of people from becoming hospitalize and dying. Maybe you don't know that South Africa is moving forward with the Johnson and Johnson vaccine because it WAS proven effective in South Africa. Maybe you don't know that JJ, while less efficacious than the Moderna and Pfizer, is more easily stored and can be given in one single dose. Maybe you don't know that JJ vaccine is better suited to be administered in poor countries where they don't have negative 30 see freezers, where the infrastructure and rural areas makes it even more difficult to get people to come back for a second shot? Maybe you don't know that is actually okay because the poorest countries are also the countries with the youngest people so don't need the most potent vaccine.
Didn't you hear that the South African, UK, and California variants also came from places where case number have been decreasing the entire time you have been ranting about the scary mutants?
Watch the news for your job? Hah! It IS my job. While you get your facts from laymen news reporters, it's actually my job to know. And how do I verify the facts? From Infectious Disease doctors who are specialist, much more informed than myself, not by reading a headline meant to be sensational in order to drive more readers and viewers.
And also, it's obvious that you let your personal contempt drive your bias.
At least you're not like the other fringe conspiracy nut jobs who I believe to actually be rooting for the virus and against the vaccine. Twisted people they are.
