Summary/Abstract: The text's goal is to shed some philosophical as well as socio-analytical light on the psychopathologies of everyday life. Special attention is paid to the relations of vulnerability between the agents and counteragents in what I would like to name daily routines: driving a car, communicating with others and fulfilling our daily obligations. There is a certain accent on the interpreter's role: on one hand, he could possess the necessary senses and concepts in order to detect the psychopathological aberrations of the everyday order, but on the other hand, these aberrations could be categorized as what Stangellini calls "events with radiating power", which the researcher (now spectator) uses in order avoid the discussions of trauma. In this text, three different situations are presented and analyzed. In the first one I examine the problem of Reddy's emotives and self-identification. In the second one, we are facing one very current ethnic problem between Bulgarians and Roma people, and in the third, we face the ambivalence of the act of investing by four young people (same age) in their fictional "Who-Identities" (Arendt).
