“This isn’t anything special. It’s pretty basic”
“This isn’t hard. I can do this myself at home”
“Why are you spending money on this? It’s literally just [lists ingredients]”
Holy fucking shit shut the fuck up im trying to enjoy this fucking meal why do you tag along and waste my money and time
There's a type of person who thinks every activity must be some life-changing, mind-blowing, cathartic experience and if it fails meet that impossible bar they're unimpressed and nitpick the whole thing.
It's extremely annoying. Criticism for them isn't about an honest accounting of the experience but about being let down for not being transported across a threshold to heaven and joining the divine.
Could be food, a movie, game, show, architecture, other people, fucking nature, or transportation... I have a friend like this and especially anything that's received any praise will now be built up too greatly and not meet their expectations. Their opinions are made of platonic ideals, and the only thing that matters is if they had a good opinion coming into the activity.
I know this person very well and it's all bougie as hell :angery:
I hate so very much the "life changing epiphany" :brainworms: that are so common with social media addicts.
Every party must be a mind blowing experience.
Every vacation has to teach them more about themselves and about... life.
And so on and so on. :zizek:
:gulag: for them
