I dunno. I would ask if there's *any* creature in the Western world who *doesn't* have a problem or two dealing with "Society" (with a capital "S" ;-).

Give me name, rank and serial number. As well as email address so I can find out their secret.

Personally, I believe I've had worse problems dealing with Society than big breasts seem to cause. But that's just me. Others are skin-color. Ugliness. Political persuasion. WhatEVER.

Maybe I'm just hard-hearted, but when I gave up my own pity party, I found I was relieved beyond all expectation. And relieved of Society's expectations to boot, now that I think on it. Again, that's just me.

In a broader sense, how many problems in our lives can't be reduced to Other People?

Why, *all* our problems are because of Other People, right?

Or the opposite.

IMO, One takes a POV (point of view), right, that hopefully doesn't vary too awful much.
