That’s like the one of the only ways I’ve managed to meet people (THROUGHOUT MY ENTIRE LIFE) and it sucks so so fucking much because finding someone who is reciprocative to that type of shit is so damn hard-especially in the era of instagram reels and TikTok

Is there a way to learn to socialize “normally” I’ve learned that I’m going to be very lonely if I don’t figure out how especially with my current career (god this just reminds me of how soulless my current job is)

I’m really starting to learn how my brain chemistry almost lines up with my politics (as in how I am foolishly passionate about how I would prefer everyone be forced to live with the same amount of resources and be forced to understand how it’s not about the community.

But yeah sometimes that shit comes out at inopportune times and I have legit seen it make my friends lose their jobs

But yes this still explains why I need to learn better acceptable small talk and how to approach bringing up that small talk without seemingly coming out of nowhere

    i'm so sick of having to pretend to be a dead boring normie just to be able to interact with people IRL

    like nobody ever has any fucking spark of life or convictions, none of these worthless liberals believe in anything

      They believe in a lot that doesn’t even touch a boundary tbh

      It really is extremely soulless and forces you to step in line with all socially acceptable conversation pieces

      I always get a “we’re all just trying to get by” thought terminating cliche whenever I say something implying that a minority group shouldn’t have to suffer

        Personally, I'm pretty cagey about my politics until I've talked to someone a few separate times. The closest I'll get is complaining about rent and the price of groceries, but in a non-systemic way that allows people to air their own political dirty laundry.

        I don't really have it in me to start arguments at the mo
