Welcome to this momentous event. This is the world’s first article about the topic of Scittscum.
What is scittscum you say? Well I’ll tell you.
Have you ever had the feeling that someone was looking at you but you didn’t want to look at them because they would see then that you were aware of them looking at you? You may call it paranoia but, it actually relates more to scittscum.
Another example. How about when someone is lying to you and you know it, and you want to try to catch them in the lie but you don’t want them to know you know they are lying? Another degree of scittscum.
In short, scittscum deals with awareness, but on a higher level than the mere individual. It deals with a person’s awareness of another’s awareness and the circumstances that come with it. You can be aware of another person being aware of your awareness. It can also be applied to the individual but on several tiers. Such meta-awareness is, believe it or not, uncommon. You can be aware that you are aware. Many people go through their day aware of others and things they have to do and such. But not many people are actually concious of this awareness and realize it on a higher level.
When a person is said to be a scittscum, it means he or she frequently operates on this level of awareness. They plan their tasks according to it and by doing this, they always keep themselves in check. Let’s say you plan your work day. You’ve got invoices to send out, files to file, emails to write, etc. You are aware of what needs to be done, but you are also aware that you know these things need to get done, and this solidifies your tasks and makes you more accountable to yourself.
It can easily be mis-associated with schizophrenia and multiple personalities but this is a common error that need not be worried about. Scittscum cannot be denied that it exists, because it’s happening everyday, albeit not as often as it should. Many people go about the day just doing tasks but if they knew that they were doing the tasks, they would have such a greater level of involvement than not.
The next article will examine in further detail the nature of scittscum and what it means for individuals well-being.
