All ideas about what Society is and how to successfully be part of it rest on the foundation of Self-denial. Catchphrases like "putting yourself out there" almost entail the polar opposite. There is no bigger taboo than relevant information. Information that is in and of itself a potential cause for qualitative shifts in interaction, that is declarative, and does not relay to a common pool of presumed presumptions is actually deemed "antisocial". Even as far as routine goes, communication is only allowed if it is ambiguous. Body language and humor are praised as ideal forms of communication because they permanently give all parties the option to retroactively retract intent, thus making Language itself meaningless.
So the two most touted virtues of Society, connection and communication, are in fact the two things least likely to happen.

Being the exact opposite of what it claims to be is a little too on the nose.

No, that's just liberalism that sprung off from Hobbes who created state, government to deny the nature of men.
