Social Constipation 

When you have so much you want to say at one time, but you don’t want to overwhelm the person . And you’re not even sure if they even want to talk to you in the first place, so you just end up keeping it all to yourself. And it builds up overtime as you come up with more things you want to talk about.

Internal Monologue: “I have so much I want to say to him, but I don’t know if I should say it all at once. I don’t want to be overwhelming. Maybe I’ll just say a little at a time .. Gosh he’s been so busy lately, does he even feel like talking to me? I guess I’ll just keep it all to myself right now and wait till he’s more available to talk to.. Gosh! I have so much social constipation waiting for the right timing to talk . :’( and I keep coming up with more to say!”

Social Constitution Theory

A theoretical framework positing that everything social—institutions, norms, identities, categories—is socially constituted, meaning it exists only through collective human practices, agreements, and histories, not as natural or inevitable. This theory underpins much of sociology and critical theory: nations, money, gender roles, legal systems, and even facts are not brute realities but are produced and reproduced through social interaction. The theory doesn’t claim these things aren’t real; it insists that their reality is a social achievement, maintained by ongoing practices, and therefore can be changed by those same practices. Social constitution is the foundation of constructivism across disciplines.

Example: “His social constitution theory showed that race isn’t biological but a social category with real effects—made real through law, policy, and everyday interaction.”
