    NGL, this greentext actually made me smile cause I’m a terrible person. Likely not real, but real talk, I love to bring a room to a very dark place as a joke with my friends, though, especially since I deal with a lot of scary topics in psych and politics and usually use it as a way to bring to real topics. Weirdly gets people to open up about their real traumas too, for some reason.

    Plus it’s friends, so you know, very different context lol

    Yeah, that sucks, especially when you’re in high school, and right after.

    But after, when you get out the real world, that shit lessens, and you won’t care.

      Shit where do you work man? I need to get me one of those jobs, because, while I just keep to my own life, it seems the same shit goes on, because the assholes never really grow up. They just age. No matter where you go.

        I’m an old man.

        So, believe me when I say you just need to put yourself out there, in social spaces, and meet girls/boys face to face, and just be yourself. Don’t put on a false face, a “front.” Just be you.

        It helps to go to places, or events, that coincide with your personality type.

        Don’t give up, don’t take every rejection as a death sentence.

        You can do this.

          My experience after graduating from high school in 07 and college in 11 is that uh… no, the vast majority of odd jobs, part time jobs I worked till getting a ‘real’ job…

          No, no, the vast majority of basically low wage workers are still mentally in high school, still acting just as immature, still being childish, rude and bullying people, still constantly seeking to create situations of petty drama, still pressuring people into hazing rituals.

          Does not matter how old they are.

          I’ve seen 45 year old men literally ‘flex’ on younger coworkers to assert dominance, like literally puff themselves up and flex to appear larger, while arguing with or belittling them.

          Your advice is generally good advice, but it is far from guaranteed to ensure you will not be surrounded by immature buffoons, and ostracized when you do not partake in their foolishness.
