Azmi's Theory of 'Excludability' (Part 1)
Have you ever wondered why you sometimes see some people just having a good time laughing over a silly joke within themselves and you look at them and say, "Hey, thats immature. Childish. Stupid," amd wonder afterward about whether you truly knew what joke they were laughing about, or just plainly did not see the funny side of their prank? You could thus be the victim of this neurotic phenomenon called "Excludability".
As derived from Freud's 3 states of human consciousness, 1) Ego, 2)Superego, 3) Id, the superego, or even unconsciously, the ego, tells the mind what's essentially right or wrong in their own terms, from what it deduces through rationalization, or the amalgamation of societal conventions and plain logic. It might seem simple enough to conclude that the opinion of the individual is justified through their reactions of disapproval, but my theory is that it is actually the inner state of mind (the superego) of the individual which hides the true intentions of self.
Thus, a person showing contempt at the silliness of other people laughing and having a good time, may just be unconsciously bitter that they are not being let into the joke and its contents (thus excluded), or is plainly irritated that others are laughing and having fun, whilst he/she (due to personal reasons such as mood swings or just plainly acting it cool), can't due to abovementioned reasons. Have you ever encountered such a situation?
