'Everybody, Somebody, Anybody and Nobody'- how relevant are these faceless masses in Life?

Very. I was taught by a brilliant English teacher to avoid absolutes at all costs. She declared they were basically cuss words, only for show with no real meaning. I agree, even after I applied a bit of my own critical thinking. To this day, I only use those words alone for hyperbole. Otherwise, I hedge those terms with words like almost, nearly, hardly, scarcely, etc. The fact is, even if you find exceptions to their uselessness, everyone eventually stops listening to people who overuse absolutes!
(See what I did there?
You're welcome!)

It's how our society thinks in a crowd.
Anybody should of done it if nobody is an alcoholic and somebody is a hermit hippie and everybody wasn't confidedent enough to do it.

but it always deflects from self

[Metaanio]

Somebody is really important person, but he has too many jobs to take care cause nobody is doing them.

[gobsmacked3]
