interactionism

1. A theoretical perspective in sociology.
2. As opposed to social responsibility. The structures, social conventions, design, etc, in society that encourages and sometimes forces social interaction and the way it plays out and likewise what also discourages and sometimes punishes a person for not being social enough or in the right way. It's what motivates a lot of the social behaviour of a person that is not motivated by personal desire, culture or our evolutionary history.
"Look Johnny at this example of interactionism in Facebook. Do you see that little icon? That means he has read my message and because he knows I've seen him read it, it encourages him to a quick response, otherwise I'll assume he's ignoring me andI'll get angry at him. Interactionism at its finest Johnny boy."

"Oh, look Johnny! Here's another social cause they want me to care about. Well, it's not like they are asking, they are telling me to. And a lot of people will do that simply because they can. The structures created by interactionism makes that possible. You should have lived with me in the golden days before internet Johnny."

intra-laugh

An intra-laugh is what a person does when they have a laugh to themselves.

It is that quiet, internal laugh that one has when something is funny.

(In the future, if people like this word that I've coined, and people become familiar with it, the spelling may change to "intralaugh.")

Intrapulvicmania

The overwhelming feeling of yearning for some unidentified thing that you experience when you realize that you will never truly understand or know a person, even yourself. The mind of any given person is infinite. Like a labyrinth, there are twists and turns, dead ends, and crevices that even they have not dared to explore yet for fear of losing their way. The explanation that a person offers for their actions, reactions, motives, thought processes, expressions, body language, etc. will only ever be scraping the surface of what seems like a bottomless basin of activating events, memories, and feelings that have led to the formation of that person’s current self. If even that person has not and will probably never familiarize themselves with the pathways paved in their own mind, how could you ever hope to? Ironically, this only prompts you to want to understand a person even more and with a stronger urge than before.
