i dont know if its my tik tok algorithm or the fact that i'm now a non teen / college aged person on social media but ive noticed a resurgance of weird cis het takes looking at the "pick me girl" or learning how to be wary of "the female friend of the guy" and all this stuff that just feels like it would be more of a thing if i were in a collegiate setting, where friends and frenemies and girlfriends and boyfriends and situationships can overlap like that.

vs me being an adult and adulthood not allowing those kind of relationships to happen as much
