Does anybody else understand they need to make deep connections with people but their social battery has been dead for a while and can't put up with people's BS?

  • I was very social when I was younger. Worked retail jobs from 15-23. I didn't have and technically still don't have a problem talking to whoever, whether it's a crackhead at the library or a prof at school. I just got to a point where I couldn't handle the abuse from family, being betrayed by my ex of 7 years, serious health issue, and noone wanted to help me through it regardless of what kindness I showed them in the past. Really woke me up to people's bullshit, smile to your face but consider you an annoyance when you're down and out. Made me really reconsider what I wanted to spend my few years on earth doing. Putting up with people, or providing myself with peace and security.

    Edit: what I've found about being a forgiving person is that you can forgive someone for 100 of their faults but when the last straw breaks the camels back, you are automatically an anti-social asshole because you have a limit to how much BS you can handle

  • I think that applies prior to texting, social media, video calls too though. Except back then, I could avoid people by either not giving them my number or saying I wasn't home when they called.

    Now you're expected to have your phone on you at all times, then little Jimmy from elementary school finds you on social media and wants to know if you're interested in essential oils.

  • Another one of those things that taste pretty ok if you don't know what it is. I think that's why hotdogs are popular.

  • I ate a chicken ball dipped in spicy peanut sauce one time because my dad told me it was a chicken ball. It was the testicle of a chicken. It actually tasted fine before I found out what it was.

  • Modern wage slaves are not far removed from royalty having an imbalance of power. It's common to refer to our current "work to live or die" society as slavery with extra steps because many are forced to spend their time doing things that benefit their bosses more than themselves
