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
you get invited to parties?
I've never been invited to anything. I don't even know where I'd begin.
Sorta strug along as the token misfit most times
how do you get invited to parties?
Hell if I know, doesn’t happen often
Like once every two years or something so I’m by no means a party person
befriend people who host them or go to them, tell them you're in a party mood
currently have no friends and nowhere I can go to make any, or I would. lol
do you live in some rural hellhole
It's not rural, but it is an isolating hellhole of a city.
well no offense but ye shouldnt live your whole life like you are
cut roots and move (if you can?)
well obviously I'd love to be able to do that, but I'd triple my rent at a minimum if I move out and I can't really afford it.
damn - yep, that's the way it is these days
it's tough making that step too because once you start renting you start treading water and pissing money into someone else's mortgage
