Labeling oneself as an "early adopter" reminds me of Phil in Modern Family. I don't mean to say there's anything wrong with it, but the associations towards that term is more on the comical side.
After trying the demo, and reading these impressions, I've decided to wait until the price drops.
Yeah, I saw it tonight. That movie surprised me. The slo-mo shooting scene was fantastic.
I bought the book Life of Pi a while ago. Hadn't heard of it at the time, but it looked interesting. Think I'm going to read it before seeing the film.
You're going on this trip, and there's nothing they can do about it. When they start screaming it's because they raise the level of energy in the conversation. This is a technique used by many to get their way. The best way to retaliate to this is to not let the energy level of your voice raise to their level. That's their field, and they will win.
Keep calm, and explain why you want to go. By keeping calm they might get even more frustrated in an attempt to shake you up, but keep calm. Let them finish their sentences, and when they have nothing more to say... if it feels natural to reply, you do, if not, just say that you understand they are worried but you have made your choice.
Over time they will hopefully accept that you've grown up:)
@MKSKILLZ16: I have a degree and work in advertising, lol. Just kind of seem like you didn't know, the answers do lie in quite basic psychology.
It's not about justifying ones existence, because it can't be. We're all a result of a series of coincidences, and for he past millions of years, evolution. And in evolution the humans that have cared are the ones who have survived. Those who have had his psychological build-up are the ones who have been most fit. That's why we can use Maslow and psychology to atleast partially explain this question.
But if you want answers, this is not the most original question. It's probably in some book, somewhere.
