The feeling of being 'left out' is very powerful. It's so hard, sometimes I get such a strong desire to "have a smartphone, use Windows, watch soap operas, read the gutter press, support a football team, be just like everyone else", even though I know I'd hate it, even though I've spent my whole adult life avoiding such things. Whether you want to call it the path of righteousness/wisdom/enlightenment/freedom/political awareness/whatever. It can be a very lonely road at times.
