can confirm, you can just say things, and nobody will ask you any questions.

It's the weirdest fucking thing ever.

That's because they don't care about you enough to even bother.

Hard to swallow pill.

exactly! I don't know why people even pretend like others care. There's no point in giving a shit about something if you're the only one that gives a shit about it, in a collective group environment.

Often times that's because the topic being discussed is something uninteresting enough that I'd rather just smile and nod instead of admit I don't know what an art deco is. I pretend I know what people are talking about just so they'll shut up sooner. The sooner the conversation ends the sooner I can stop pretending to be interested in art decos.

this is one of my biggest peeves of social interaction honestly. just the shit where people constantly say "yup, uh huh. mhm"

Sometimes it's also just funny to agree with shit you don't understand. So that's fair tbh.

Why did you think no one would ask you a question? Also just curious, what did you have for breakfast?

[–] [email protected] 2 points 4 months ago (1 children)

because i've done it before. You can just go out in public and start screaming, nobody will do anything the vast majority of time.

I don't eat breakfast.
