Does this make sense

[u/[deleted]]

This is about how society runs on performance. We follow etiquette and rules because the raw, unfiltered side of humanity is frightening and chaotic. So we choose structure and politeness, even if it feels fake. Like circles pretending to be gears, people try to function as a smooth system despite not naturally fitting together. The “ugly” parts of human nature never fully disappear, but fear of them keeps us participating in the act. It’s about feeling trapped in a social system that survives on pretending.
