Why are some people never reflective? Case and point, my roommate...

Why are some people just not interested/capable of being reflective? Thinking about existential crisis... stress... etc. I often find myself stopping for minutes at a time, needing to be alone for a while and thinking about life. Is that strange?
They are fucking idiots.
Is it an iq thing? Or is it just that some people are simply incapable of such introspection... or possibly just afraid to delve into themselves (nietzsche).
You seem like one of those 'tfw too intelligent' guys. Put it this way, your room mate is enjoying life a lot more than you are because he/she actually wants to be happy. You don't really need to be reflective until things around you start going wrong, there's also such thing as being overly-reflective and becoming negative because of it.
Possibly enjoying life, but it looks like he’s trading hard work (studying) for easy pleasures. Not really thinking about what he’s doing and just “doing”. I’m not trying to sound like one of those guys... just think it’s strange that some people really don’t think about what they’re doing or who they are.
drones be drones dude. this is how i imagine the commoners life to be. not so much free of the commoner entertainment but the absolute lack of introspection. I see it in a lot of people.
Yeah totally. Just like in the “Myth of Sisyphus”... “the absurd can strike on any streetcorner” or something to that effect. At any time of day I can see something and think how strange it is, and that spirals down into me thinking about how my own life is going / how strange it is. Can’t see how others don’t do this but I guess some just fill that curiosity with entertainment
OP should reflect on why he wrote case and point.
*in*
Fuck, you got me there
>or possibly just afraid to delve into themselves
you might be onto something. they need constant distraction because they're afraid of themselves. there's a heaven and a hell inside all of us. everyone is addicted to comfort.
I think I'm suffering from partial brain damage due to sleep deprivation and I find it amusing how the neurotypicals don't even notice.
>Thinking about existential crisis..
everything you mentioned is escapism basically which is the opposite of existential crisis
