    You mean thinking about why we believe the things we believe and do the things we do?

    Awareness or concern about the affect you have on others while walking, driving, talking on cell phone, standing in line, playing loud music, etc.

    In other words... is concern over whether you are inconveniencing or imposing on others dying?

    Absolutely. Not a good thing!

    I've read that people born in generations with more technology are actually measurably less capable of interpreting social and emotional communication in person. I don't remember where, and I don't remember the source, but it makes sense. (Of course, one size does not fit all, does not apply to every person everywhere, does not account for individual differences, nature vs nurture. /disclaimer)

    Oh, just basic consideration for your fellow man? No, I don't think it is dying. I think that is all you see if you focus on it. I have more pleasurable encounters than not.

    At least with my age group and older. I dunno about the younger generation.

    Ahh! I get it now. Being Self-centered.

    Well, I try to be polite to people, especially service workers that I come in contact with daily, because I would rather be a pleasant part of their day than a negative one. That is why I always smile to people working at the gas station and say "Please" and "thank you" as well as asking them how their Morning/Afternoon is going. Then the door holding thing, which I think is just basic manners.

    And when in heavy traffic and a vehicle, especially semi-trucks, are trying to merge over into my lane, I will slow down and let them get over rather than refusing to give them an inch.

    I like to think that things like that, while not specifically making someone's day better, can at least prevent them from having additional negative points.

    You of course realize the irony of asking that question in the hope of getting hundreds of people to read and respond to such a pointless question?

    So much beta itt.

    Well, a sign of a beta is that they try to attack an alpha in order to get a rise out of him in order to temporarily be seen as the alpha.

    You'll get it some day. :flowerforyou:

    You make the worst threads. Why? No troll, no hate, but you're threads are absolute garbage. Why not lift, or read a dictionary.

    I will let the "merits" of your posts stand on their own.

    I've heard this also and wonder about it as well.

    I agree with this and go about my life this way as best I can also.
