past couple of years most of my ability to socialize has collapsed because I can’t relate to other folks anymore.
mostly because they are miserable and I am not. and they think I’m miserable because I’m not agonizing about the things they agonize about endlessly, so we are just never going to find common ground. and i come across like a massive arrogant douchebag because I’m doing well where they are struggling. and what alienates me more is… the are not legitimately struggling in any way… but they have convinced themselves nobody has it worse than them… it’s just insufferable IMO. and often they are actually doing way better than I am… but think they are doing worse…
i also lost like a dozen friends since the end of covid, because they went insane, but they are more ‘normal’ than I am because well, a lot of people went insane from covid and I legit loved it and came out way better off.
i also can’t relate to gen z and how totally miserable they are. even my own nephews/nieces all they want to do is agonize about how awful their life is and will be… despite objectively them being incredibly well off…
and i see a lot of this attitude all over the internet endlessly, which also sucks.
Not being able to afford first class plane tickets isn’t suffering.
But lots of folks seem to think it is.
Just like the weirdos here who think the world is abusing them because the price of RAM went up and and their $3000 Gaming PC is now $5000.
This idea that everyone is ‘suffering’ is so utterly absurd and akin to hippies thinking we are all ‘unenlightened’ because we’re not constantly tripping balls on lsd.
Have you ever been hungry? slept in the freezing cold? lived without medical or dental care? That is legitimate struggle and suffering. Not being a whiny bitch about how you’re not rich enough to afford luxuries that could feed people for years…
truth is maybe if folks did legit suffer they’d have more perspective on life. Daddy not buying you a Porsche for your birthday isn’t suffering, Daddy beating you on your birthday for wanting a birthday cake is. And sadly way too many people can’t seem to understand the difference anymore.

They cant afford to travel at all, let alone an(y) airplane ticket.

The gripe is an $850 gaming PC is now $3000

We cant afford LSD

We are hungry (grocery prices are insane right now)
We arent cold, we are hot (global warming)
we cant afford medical or dental visits. Opting out as much as we can so we can buy groceries (see above)
We definitely cant afford luxuries. We cant even buy something as necessary as our own home. We are renting because we dont have a down payment. We cant save for a down payment because landlords keep jacking up rent.

Trust me, we have a ton of perspective that anyone who isnt in the bottom 50% of the poverty could never understand. Daddy owns a barely functional truck and has 3 teeth left to chew with. He was a jerk when we were kids, and has calmed the fuck down since he isn’t able to realistically abuse anyone anymore.
Maybe you are too well off from whatever success you had during covid. If you want to be around people who are truly suffering, go volunteer at a food kitchen and feed the homeless.
You mean people should help you afford recreational drugs and a gaming PC?
You are the problem with the world. It’s ok, you’re in good company though, most folks think exactly the way you do. Everything is about them and their struggles, and nobody had it harder than them. Doesn’t matter if they make 5,000, or 5,000,000 a year… the song and dance is exactly the same. No matter how poor or how rich it’s always ‘give me your money, I deserve it more than you do’.
I have volunteered. A lot of people in those situations are not suffering, they are just piece of shit who have chosen a life of exploitation rather than being productive members of society. A grifter is a grifter, whether they are homeless or Donald Trump.
You sound a lot like Trump, just scale everything up a few powers of ten.

Maybe everyone is, in fact, suffering a bit.
What does a legitimate struggle look like to you?

Lets help people.

What do you mean when you say:
?
Also, not sure why you’re coming at me. Was just pointing out what you see vs the struggles I see. A comparison of struggles we see, if you will.
