Quote:
so, what do you call someone whos in the middle?
Normal. Healthy. Well adjusted. Self aware. Socially adept. sexually mature. Competent. squared away. Those are all things I would call the middle ground.
Someone who is so shy, introverted, socially inept, intimidated that they can not open their mouths and interact with someone with the opposite sex is dysfunctional and need of some form of assistance to live a normal, healthy and productive life.
Conversely someone who is manipulating, misleading and decieving someone for their own gain and for their own hidden agenda is also dysfunctional and also a form of pathology. On some level we may all admire the studs and porn stars that fuck hundreds and hundreds of women but to compulsively go out night after night seeking SNLs with countless women is a form of pathology and there is some form of dysfunction and pathology driving that compulsion.
There for the middle ground where someone is comfortable in their own skin and is able to interact with the people that they encounter during the course of their day without having to memorize canned lines and follow step by step instructions and algorythms in order to do what is supposed to be a natural process, is by definition the normal and the healthy.
