I've dealt through my recently rough times with small pleasantries and a huge dreams, waiting for a product to come about. Although I have this in front of me, my avoidance of social interactions leaves me with a foreign feeling I have not had for a while. Loneliness. So, how do I alleviate this? By, well, that's secret ;)
I believe that people deal with situations in 3 possible ways. The first way is by determining an action on the shallowest level (i.e Bob punched me, and it hurt, so I'm going to punch him back). The second way is by determining the action off of thought and processing of the situation, and the context that it is placed in (i.e Bob punched me, and although it hurt, I did wrong him in the following ways, etc.). This method is also accompanied by psychology, taking in verifiable and generally agreed upon psychological theories. The third way, however, is complete bullshit which tons of people use. They go beyond both the first and second level, and use their philosophical, religious, or guesswork psychology to deal with social situations (i.e Bob punched me, but it was inevitable because our lives were laid out for us). Regardless of the belief (determinism, fatalism, nihilism) they are all founded on guesses and by putting your absolute trust in one of them is seemingly like putting all your trust in the hands of a stranger. Would you really act or justify beliefs solely because of nurtured faith? People do. People usually do when they have no justifications on the 1st and 2nd level, and thus go to the third level to justify themselves. So in other words, whenever it is convenient for them. In a sense, people always act nihilist and humanist until they are forced to bring upon their other set of beliefs upon convenience.
