Extraordinary Experiences Isolate You Socially

I find this bit of research to be extraordinarily interesting.

Here is a bit from the write-up on Big Think:

Having a much more interesting time with life than your peers is a recipe for social isolation, according to their report published in Psychological Science. In an experiment which supported the group's conclusion, individuals given a very interesting video to watch later felt excluded when the majority of the group had watched a far more boring video. Contrary to what the people who watched the interesting video expected, conversation seems to thrive on the mundane.

Here is the full piece:

I want to focus on that one quote just one more time:

...conversation seems to thrive on the mundane.

Very interesting.

Do you see this in your every day life?  Maybe you are having an interesting life and most of the people around you are merely more interested in last night's 'American Idol'.  How dare you take The Road Not Taken.  Though, don't look in to the real meaning of that poem or you'll find even more interesting thoughts to ponder.

Happy Reading,
