    What’s worse is that it’s become increasingly more difficult for me to find people I am interested in talking to. My interests have become very niche and specific and tbh boring and weird within the last few years.

    Just as I have no interest in hearing about celebrity gossip or the latest TikTok trend, most normal people have no interest in deep discussions about hypothetical moves away from global capitalism or literary analysis or nerdy space games.

    The guy made the rookie mistake of leaving his curtains open, and then another one in acknowledging the existence of the outside world.

      I hate the Internet’s “extrovert vs introvert” tribalism. And it’s always the same two jokes. “Extroverts bad will suck out your soul and shame you for not liking it” and “ha ha we introverts use extroverts to get friends we don’t want friends we want to stay home and read and extroverts adapt us”.

      and then people wonder why there’s a loneliness epidemic and complain they have no friends.

        It’s not a joke. You clearly just haven’t spent any time around or are an insufferable extroverted early riser. We literally have to change the time the sun comes up because getting to work at 9 is just out of the question.

          what’s with the seemingly paired together disdain for extroverts and early morning people, I haven’t heard of this pairing before

          sincerely, an introverted early morning person

          it’s just nice to clock out at 3 and fuck off to live my life before it gets dark

        Life’s short and it’s nice spending it and sharing it with others.

        A lot of my friends that prefer to be alone actually want to hang out but most people hate organizing and stuff. So I usually make the effort. It’s better to have stories and experiences that are shared. Better being like, remember when we saw that game together? Remember trying to get home and being stranded? Remember going on that trip? Life’s short.

        I’m also surrounded by friends that say they wanna do stuff a regret not doing it. Although most have kids now, so they’re unable to have the time nowadays.

        To reiterate what you said, there’s about as many comments complaining about loneliness and how people forming bubbles and parasocial relationships with internet people and even weird AI relationships now. People act like it’s the worse thing in the world to hang out. It only gets harder when you’re older too.

        Let me be clear. I don’t waste time on people that never wanna hang out. If you wanna be home and are rude when I invite you out, I will very simply leave you alone. That’s fine by me.

    During my morning meeting at work, it was announced that the junior person on the team will as of tomorrow be running morning meetings from now on, so they can be more ENGAGING and FUN. At 9:30am. They are mandatory. I am the only one that hates this idea. If I take off my mask I will be fired.

    TL,DR: I am in this meme and I don’t like it

    This reminds me of the song Dearly Beloved by Bad Religion.

    Dearly beloved, dearly beloved, dearly beloved

    (Make no mistake, despite our traits I’ve seldom seen)

    I can’t relate to you (I can’t relate to you), I can’t relate to you

    Do you know my name - sing a light refrain

    For a man estranged - I won’t deny that I’m inclined to isolate

    Dearly beloved…

      Have you heard the news everyone’s talking

      Life is good 'cause everything’s awesome

      Lost my job, there’s a new opportunity

      More free time for my awesome community

      I feel more awesome than an awesome possum

      Dip my body in chocolate frosting

      Three years later wash off the frosting

      Smelling like a blossom, Everything is awesome

      Stepped in mud, got new brown shoes

      It’s awesome to win and it’s awesome to lose
