The always returning question would you take the other pill when asked again.
Blue or Red
People are accurate when they say do you really want the truth.
Knowing can become a curse, especially when you know something big.
You will be isolated from society because whom can you tell that will not ridicule you or worse they could believe you and now they feel like you. Knowing but no where to go.
We need to keep investigating to bring out the truth because then and only then can we start making a difference.

I would tend to agree that being "awake" is indeed a curse... I don't necessarily agree with everything you've laid out as causing someone to be "awake"... but none the less it seems as though the more you know anymore the greater you're despised...
In turn the greater you're despised the more resentful you become of those that choose to remain intentionally ignorant... the more resentful you become the more your view of everyone and everything becomes jaded... then you become isolated because you realize there's no point in talking because no one will listen anyway because they'd rather step out in front of the bus than have to think about the repercussions of doing so... then you start hoping that they'll all just jump in front of the bus... and then when they aren't doing it fast enough you begin to want to start shoving them under it...
I believe that's how Hitler got started... anyway... off to the rally... don't want to keep the sheep waiting and the bus idling... gas is getting expensive ya know...

My reply to this is YES, it is worth being awake.
It is just a first step, and there are many more to take before you may find satisfaction, but now that you are walking, keep following the path. Part of losing interest in the scene at the mall, and what happened at the party is the ego disillusionment. Let it go. As a participants in a capitalist society, our egos are relentlessly engorged, but to wake up is to let this go.
99% of us are infants when it comes to knowing the landscape of our world within. If you were to close your eyes and focus on nothing except your breath across your upper lip as you breathe through your nose, how long can you remain focused without your brain flooding you with other thoughts?
Thirty seconds would be an achievement, even three breath cycles. Most of us can not do even this, instead we are victims of the meanderings of our minds and egos, very much the way Freud suggested.
The focus on the breath is called Anapana meditation, and in my own experience I have found Vipassana meditation really effective, especially if you can take 10 days away to sit at a meditation center.
Not to push it, but it is something that really worked for me. In any case I would say that the next thing to seek is inner balance.
