I get that having lunch or dinner together can be used as grounds for socializing and I'm down for that occasionally, but my god must it be this sacred ritual every time? I'm just putting fuel inside me. Usually I like being passive in group conversations and only start engaging or occasionally commenting once I get a opening. Yes, I might be on the phone in the meantime.

Same for gatherings in general. Like bro just let me be on my gaming device. I'll talk when I want to.
 
I'm with you man, sometimes a bit of silence goes a long way even in a hangout situation. It really grinds my gears at work when coworkers keep trying to strike up a lengthy, unbroken conversation especially.
 
I don't like socializing with people in general, I always eat my lunch in my car at work, I park ways away from others too, if for some reason I'm stuck in the office I put on my headphone and tuned out.

I said it before as well but I hate it when people constantly taking pictures with their phone and shit, put it down, enjoy the moment, and don't wave that fucking thing around my face.
 
If you're going to take a picture of something, leave your face out of it. I know what you look like; I don't need to see your mug when the point of the picture was to show me a landmark or a beautiful sunset.
 
Selfies... they look terrible, specially in group photos (also i dislike pictures of me in general but that is an issue that is too deep to share lmao)
 
I guess mine would be forced conversation. I love yapping if we have something to yap about, but the idea of needing to talk, even about literally nothing, to fill the empty air bothers me.

A little bit of silence now and then is nice.
 
I've just never been good at "normal" social rituals like small talk, ritual gathering during meals, and so on. I can bullshit my way through it long enough to get by, but not being great at it might be part of what holds back my luck with dating and networking :sailor-embarrassed:

I'm also not into drinking, which makes meeting people hard when people in my area like to talk over Budweiser as a common pastime.
 
Not sure if this is normie for some but it's too common for me atm, normie home decorator types are what grind my gears. I hate when I walk into a well curated home that looks like they want to look out of a catalog instead of any personality or flaw that looks lived. Tidied up it okay but when I see stuff like a ladder shelf for blankets and throws, weird bead garlands in a bowl, or god forbid chalk painted end tables or the long console table just spray painted on I just sour and hiss at the unnaturalness. Nothing pissing me off more than real wood being covered in a cheap paint job that I know will chip away in a few short years leaving the wood bone dry under it. And double the disgust when it's chalk paint that's unsealed, leaving your hands with a chalk residue and you leaving a mark or stain in return.
 
normie habit i hate? let's seeeee... how about NOT singing in public. most people don't do that. i do it a lot. i do it a lot and i still feel societally pressured to not do it. oh well, w/e. the normies can suck it up and deal with my beeeyoutifull voice <3

I do not have your nerve. I can't even sing very loud in my apartment because I have a roommate and the walls aren't exactly thick. I only sing in public if it's a slow day and no one is close enough to hear.
 
Am I the only one that doesn't have anything wrong with what the general population is doing? Maybe cause im really positive and active with people. I guess large crowds? idk :tricknervous:
 
I'm personally tired of people with no imagination that they need tiktoks to plan their decor instead of asking themselves what they like and discovering their own personality. Sure you can use them as an idea to jump from but that's not the end all to fashion or decor. Because I think it's really dumb to paint your house fully black when summers down here stay the 35+ C range.

I'm moving to a gated community earlier next year (if everything goes as planned) and the majority of houses there look corporate. My mom had to go out of her way to ensure our house is going to look something like actual humans with souls live in :tricknervous:

Some of those people may be decorating to please professional connections/work friends and move up in the world rather than please themselves and like minded friends. The more you move up the corporate and social class ladder or aspire to move up said ladder, the more you need to get snobby people to view you as one of them so they'll invite you to higher paying jobs. Getting promoted is just as much about being liked as a person by your associates as it is about actually being qualified for the job, and some people in higher social classes are very shallow.

I haven't been invited to house parties since retail days and even then this was an older woman who loved to host. Most times for me it's catering at work or parties at other establishments than hosting anymore with my generation. I understand hosting at home from back my school days whenI tagged behind my parents and even the first year I was given a tour to my boss's home studio where he recorded, as proof he was more than a hardass. No I'm complaining of my neighbor mainly who wanted to impress people in our neighborhood with all our houses built in the 70s. With the exception of the paint job and installing fake wood supports next to walls I doubt he did anything to address the old drywall and wires we all still have. Now I see him trying to sell that old house at what is no doubt 3x it's proper value. But he can blame the housing inflation.

Being outgoing and friendly are good things! I'm just an introverted goblin, so I prefer small social gatherings over large ones. I think my background has something to do with it. I grew up in a big city that was always crowded, so now I seek the opposite.
