Have you tried to talk to someone in person these days? They’re all absolute cunts who don’t have basic communication skills.
Right, I'm like, "Have you met other people? Other people suck"
Never wished I was younger.... until now
Gen Z don't seem like a friendly lot to be around anyway but idk.
I stood at the library counter with my son for what felt like eternity over the weekend. I had a question to ask, there were two young people, both face in phoned, scrolling, behind the desk. I said hello, kind of meekly tbh, but no one noticed. Waited, waited, until finally the one further away looked up, and saw us.
You really go to another world in our heads when aimlessly scrolling. I was two feet from the girl closest to me. Two feet, and she didn't notice me at all.
Really only 4-6 hours? That’s certainly less than I’d have thought. Then again as someone who spends months/years alone thanks to covid my view might be slightly skewed.
🤔🤔🤔 what happened in 2014 that caused all this, huuuuhhhhhh⸮
Yeah fuck everything and everyone I feel it
