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

    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.








  • I dunno, not even an old franchise but even with Avatar the Last Airbender … they keep trying to retell Aang’s story when they could do so many others stories within the universe and give nods to the original. Repeatedly doing the same storyline makes the universe feel smaller.

    update: Although … now that I think about there have been franchises that have expanded poorly … Rings of Power … Alien: Earth. Yes I know there are fans of both and I love that you guys love it. However, I don’t think either have been accepted largely by the fandom.
