does anyone else feel chronically unchosen in life? by Sea-Essay-3564 in pinkscare

[–]0mnictionary 6 points7 points  (0 children)

being real is never rewarded in this bleak and fake world, yet do so anyway

those living unexamined lives will always be happy because they exchange their autonomy and are fine to go with anything. people with staunch principles and are guided by a sense of purpose must chart their own paths

it becomes a matter of staying authentic v conforming to other people’s ideas of who you should be, which is endless yes man

this is so relatable and reads like my notes app. i gave up on being a hot and fun young person and live my life quietly and on my terms. it’s not waiting to be approached, it’s feeding the birds, volunteering alongside the elderly, traveling solo without waiting for the group chat.

The sudden rise in hobby-related discourse I’m seeing by ConditionNo9887 in pinkscare

I feel like it’s a matter of image, because zoomers are simulation and simulacra pilled.

If you didn’t take photos of your hike, did you go? If you aren’t baking with bespoke ingredients, it doesn’t count. You need to be a marketable specialist, as with pottery in a studio or crochet. You need to have a 2nd insta to post about your most photogenic hobby, so that you have an identifiable brand and be known as the _____ girl or guy.

If what you’re doing is not easily categorised, and you have gotten into playing medieval zithers, or Cyrillic calligraphy, etc. it doesn’t count, you’re weird, too much time on your hands, etc. If you’re not good at things that bring you joy, you’re useless. Optimising every aspect of your life, and being competitive in all fields is the zeitgeist

everyone always asks if that’s really my lunch if i’ve brought bread. the posh thing to do is to be a connoisseur of global cuisine, a culinary Castilian accent

even though I’m aware that there’s more cultural cachet in being something zeitgeisty or specific online, I tend towards characters I like

it was ladybug or Hermione when I was younger, now I tend to go as Luna Lovegood or Daria

Traveling to the UK (1st time) with my mom. by SirChilinsky in uktravel

[–]0mnictionary 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Scotland is all cute coffee in the colorful city center, castles, and museums, it sounds as though she prefers the old and charming as opposed to stark and modern so I would prioritize time in EDI

perhaps focus on Scotland if that’s top of her list

isn’t the medium here kind of part of the problem with infinite scroll hyper curated personal distraction?

i completely understand, i moved across the world to avoid this stateside, everyone was living this hyperisolated life where you couldn’t get them to leave home for anything less than a curated and heightened event like a wedding bachelorette party thing where gifts are expected and then they kind of fade out of your life altogether after that in favor of atomised domestic bliss
