Been thinking a lot about sincerity or the act of pretending to lack sincerity in an effort to seem aloof and unattached which is then determined as “being cool” or admirable. I can’t make any serious statements, but I personally would theorize that we are attracted to these sort of aloof people because we have a fundamental drive to know things and people and understand them to determine friend or foe, or how they can be helpful for our own survival. So people that we can not easily categorize we may be attracted to because we feel a fundamental instinct to investigate them further. Like I said I am in no position to be making vast assumptions but think even in your own life someone can seem so “cool”, and then you find out more about them and their life, and that “cool” aspect starts to fade because you see the similarities to your own life and experiences and you know yourself and what was mysterious and cool is now relatable and ordinary. Ironically as much as one attempts to be cool, the least cool person will always be themselves.
