Still. Everyone has their own personal tastes as to how they want to define and categorize the rest of the undulating population. Yes, I used undulating. No I won't tell you what it means. If you know what it means and are scratching your head over my use of it, don't ask questions. Just go with the flow. Har-dee-har-har. Bah.
People:
There are 5 types of people that I've come across in human relations.
<>The isolated.
This poor soul feels cut off from everyone else they know. It's not that they don't try to make friends, it's not even that they don't know how. And in fact there are times when they have friends (wait, aren't these 'the isolated?' Well yes, they are.), but everyone else can feel the pulsing waves of isolation radiating off of them and so they feel that they should distance themselves; otherwise the waves might decide to latch onto them, marking them as another in the rank of isolated. Some people are, of course, immune to this. These are usually the only way that the isolated can make friends.
Not always the depressed, angsty bitches that everyone assumes is what comes of this caste. More likely, an isolated person is only going to be depressive and fitful is if they're too unintelligent to realize what's going on. Usually they can be perfectly well-adjusted or more aggressive/defensive than normal.
<>The resilient.
These people are usually considered some of the most well-adjusted of all. This is because they are able to adapt to any changes from outside sources. If they break up with a person, usually they're more likely to move on with their lives then dwell on the 'could've been's associated with normal break-ups. If they lose touch with friends? Oh well. There are always more friends to be had.
The resilient are most often good natured though somewhat defensive in most cases so as to help them stay resilient. They find very little problem in opening up their minds to others but obviously they only hold close to very few people. These people are some of the only ones that will affect them should their stance in the resilient's life change. Other than that in their daily routines they're normally more safe. Not that they don't do risky things, but that they don't really care to do NEW things. Odd, no? They like what they like and they like it the way that it is. If it has to change, they deal with it, but if it's an option on changing, they prefer not to.
<>The emo.
Probably one of the most detestable forms of humanity. This person is always lamenting over something or other in their life. Nothing is ever perfect for them, even when it's just they way they wanted it. They can't stop complaining and usually drive other forms up the wall until they desert them--just adding more fodder to the cannon of this perpetual bitching engine.
These people are usually too weak in their own stature to kill themselves off; and despite everything they are actually optimists. They want to hope that it will get better eventually, which is why I suppose they want to complain all the time. Make sure things are happening. They lash out aggressively against people who try to point out the flaws in their arguments on why their life doesn't suck and exactly why were they crying again? In most cases this will brand you as a 'non-friend' who never helped them in the least; even if you had been trying to help them come to their senses.
When it comes to the emo caste, don't try to keep them from being who they are. They don't want to be that, they want to complain and keep complaining and usually the best course is to let it run and hope that eventually they either grow out of it or suck it up cause no one's listening.
<>The cling.
The clingers are an awkward faction of this species infestering on the planet. (Yes, infestering. It's an awesome word, ain't it?) They desperately need to be around people at all times, preferably people who will give them some form of recognition as to their existence. Still, any human company is good for them. Their driving fear is that they will become one of the isolated (and quite often they do meander into that category as well), and so take on a very motivated way of trying to be as close as possible to as many people as possible. They stick to their friendships like cement and are devastated when people leave their lives for good.
People are quite often put off by the amount of affection a cling will give to them or the trust and devotion they proffer soon after becoming acquainted. Sometimes even becoming suspicious of ulterior motives. Fear not, though, they truly are willing to be as devoted as they pronounce for someone that receives them well and reciprocates to at least some level.
<>The flutterfly.
Socially adept and friendly to everyone these people are an anomaly even if they are not too uncommon. There's always at least one in each building. Sometimes considered weird or a bit touched in the head due to their overzealous generosity and kindness, they are not always as devoted as a clinger is, but in due respect they are always the one to give a kind smile and encouraging word whenever they thing someone needs it.There's more, probably. But those are the ones I thought of. Try guessing which group I go into. Nah, nevermind. ;)
There's no clue telling what makes these people tick but all of their personality is genuine, if not a tiny bit strained at times. At parties they may be some of the loudest, most including person or exclusive without realizing it because everyone surrounds them in the hopes of this continuing kindness.
