people who try to engage you but fail to do so in a way that is even remotely meaningful
one would think a baseline of similarities would usually prompt people into trying to make friends but the thing that baffles me is that this apparently isn't always the case. esp when it seems so clear to me that we come from completely different worlds and don't actually have a shred of similarity aside from like, similar hobbies
but lys! aren't similar hobbies enough?!
NO
nononono
that's like saying people can be friends just because they both like sports
"wait lys that sounds really reasonab--" NO. FUTBALL and FOOTBALL are not the same sports. if you only care about one of them, why would you bother being friends with someone who shares literally no other interest except an interest the general... idea of sports
that was an example, but let's get a little deeper: lots of people make ocs. ocs are like my favorite thing in the entire world. but people make eXTREMELY different ocs that are influenced by their lives, their preferences, the media they consume, influences, i mean... anything. this means lots of different types of ocs are out there and GUESS WHAT i gravitate towards people who share SIMILAR tastes in characters, stories, etc... the fact that this aspect seems to completely go over some ppl's heads is literally mind boggling to me
also i hate small talk. do not engage in small talk with me. give me a reason to continue a conversation because frankly i am not obligated to give you my time just because you asked for it
god is this what getting old feels like
i remember when i was like 16 on forums and all that and people used to tell me i was mature
a) that was a load of bull
b) yet even so i found myself being all [math lady meme] at my older peers
like once i got caught inbetween a double catfishing incident where two of my pals (21, 18) were CATFISHING EACHOTHER and DATING and i, a SIXTEEN YEAR OLD, was the one mediating their relationship issues. in retrospect the people i liked back then were not very good people
rubs my head i want to sleep
