What is the philosophy behind "being accepted"?
Anyone know any books written about this topic?
That most people devote their lives into trying to make themselves likeable. Or even worse, just try to "make" people like them.
Personally, everytime a partner gives consent to start a relationship, I feel all good inside. Romantic dinners and nice words make me smile. It'll be quite depressing to think that all those good feelings, ultimately has to do with just the one thing... sex.
And that being accepted/respected amongst peers is just a handy way of protecting yourself. Naturally, it'll be wise to get acquainted with this popular person - it provides security. Mr. Popular gets more friends, thus upping his/her chances for getting... sex. That's the reason why we feel happy for being "accepted"??
Is it all just a reward-system? (what a cunning brain). What do you think?
Know any books for or against this point of view?
Thanks all
