The Social Psychological Stigma { The Egyptian Explained}

 

Social Stigma Representation

Fine, okay, very well thank you. These are some of the replies people often say on the “how are you”. However, we are often occupied with some sort of a burden. There are quite a variety of life burdens humans all are familiar with.

There are times when we become unable to deal with these burdens. So what are people doing in such cases? There are also numerous ways to encounter these challenges in which some are considered legit, and others are not.

There is at first the definition of burden made by each person. We are not the same by all means and terms. Then, there are mechanisms by which some could tackle these burdens or challenges. The society outlook for what people consider as a burden also is taken into account.

In Egypt, there are multiple burdens, and life challenges the majority face daily. Basic life demands are at the centre of these struggles. Again, everyone has his/her ways to encounter these obstacles. All is in survival mode.

This could be the reason behind the excessive people pleasing trait all over the country. Of course, this trait comes with benefits for the other side. People are not moral and good for the sake of goodness but for the sake of incentives or just the blessing to be alive and safe. Don’t underestimate safety and well-being in a country like Egypt.

Then, there are the people with benefits, power and dominance who control the lives of the majority. Their sense of entitlement and control is beyond imagination or limits. Their confidence and narcissistic tendencies are what constitute their image. This comes from their reputable experience in life destruction. Again, these types of personalities are everywhere. But in Egypt, there are systematic effective patterns of life destruction. I can blatantly express that this is the field of Egypt professionalism. It is expected to find racism and discrimination outside the country. After all, it is not the country of your citizenship. Besides, immigration policies are something related to the country. But I am talking about the social challenges Egyptians face in their seemingly homeland.

The result of the social dynamics between the dominant and the oppressed when dealt with life challenges is an interesting chain of epic life experiences. There aren’t instances where the dominant could be oppressed and the oppressed is the dominant. The interchangeable dynamics and interplay between the two are remarkable in their day-to-day activities. Within all these messed up and sabotaged actions, there is the stigma of psychological therapy. 

People seriously think and believe they are fine, okay and very well after all these melodramatic events happening to them. They stigmatize therapy but they are full of sick complications they themselves are unaware of. Some could argue the stigma comes from the instability of these people. They look at stability in people. Then, the question is who is stable? You are the one stable, correct answer. The criterion of stability is questionable in an unstable society. Whether the person is oppressed or dominant, it is questionable to bring up any talk about stability. Instead, you could be stable as they define themselves as stable. But seriously your actions (the stable ones) are more flawed and stigmatized than the stable look you impersonate.

There should always be a verification for the facts whether the talking person is stable or not. Some many seemingly stable people say anything but reality. Sometimes, the dominant who disseminates untrue facts is the one with stigma. Sometimes, the oppressed with psychological stigma is the one with rights. It could also be the other way around. There are instances where the roles get to be changed.

The stigma mainly could come from inability to function in society. So, take a look at the society, scrutinize the values of the society and examine how the society functions. Impressive, right, this is not an invitation to rebel against society. The society itself doesn’t recognize any defects in it. People are the makeup of society. But, it is a reflection of why this stigma is no longer considered to be a stigma by a few in society or by just me.

Believe me or not when I say sometimes the society needs the ones with these stigmas than those functioning well in a stigmatized society. Being stigmatized with psychological disease is also one of the classic methods to stigmatize someone in society. Also, there are techniques well studied to infect others with insanity applied by professionals in prestigious prisons or in the society by the stable society.

Looking stable and sound everyone,

So, tell me one more stable person out there about your stability.
