But research studies are mostly about generalizations. And a normal individual would definitely feel left out and cold in a situation like this. Suvro, I agree.

Those who are deep and self-sufficient characters, with adequate personal interests to stay occupied with, will never feel cold, lonely, left-out or whatever: rather (and I say this from personal experience) you might discover that they prefer their own company, and that of a few select like-minded friends: otherwise, they would be glad to be left alone, and they hate crowds of noisy people who lack good manners and who have no deep, genuine, healthy interests in common. I do. And I'm sure there are some people like me too; though maybe not too many among today's below-30s, who have grown up with very low self-esteem and no real personal interests, so they are desperate for crowds and noise and attention, however they might get it, and however trivial or uncouth it might be (like girls flaunting their 'assets' in order to get noticed!)

Its in the mind. And when these kinds of studies are conducted they are about generalizations not about exceptions, I think. Some guys could kill when you toss a ball to them. Just read in newspaper few days ago, that a guy dropped some books of another guy and he got killed for that. Here they are studying about common man, not exceptional human beings.

What about those who want neither coffee nor ice-cold Coke but plain water.....what could be their state of mind? 2. Some guys are feel hot all the time. Are they getting too many balls tossed to them. I have a hypothesis now...some people dont get balls tossed to them but still perceive that balls are being tossed to them. Others get balls tossed to them but can perceive it or only want specific balls to be tossed to them. So finally it mostly in the mind. :) Hmm……ponder……1.
