Rejection from social groups is generally disadvantageous personally and professionally

Most of us have adopted a virtual, or partly virtual, lifestyle since the Covid-19 pandemic. Many organisations have brought in more relaxed work-from-home policies, with a larger percentage of employees now doing some or most of their work online.

Their research demonstrates that all of us have a propensity for the dark traits of personality to some degree. We all have lapses in empathy, engage in impulsive and manipulative behaviour occasionally, sometimes overinflate our self-worth, and secretly enjoy the misfortunes of others . . Hyperviolence, Machiavellianism, narcissism and sadism are the core drawing cards of this series. We enjoy violent sports and cheer when our team dominates and even inflicts pain on members of the other team.

This may explain the social anxiety phenomenon. The statistically most common phobia is public speaking. Perhaps visceral reactions like a dry mouth and sweaty hands has something to do with the omnipresent fear that people may not like what we have to say. Or at worst, that the group may reject us.All people therefore engage in some form of socially desirable behaviour in public. We could say that we tend to engage our “conventional” morality in society.
