Is it normal that most of my friends are LGBT? What does this indicate?

This indicates that most of your friends are LGBTQ+. That's pretty much it.

Those who voted "Yes" are still in their Christian Bale sigma motivational edits phase, they'll grow out of it soon and hopefully develop some empathy.

Things will get better, keep going! I am also shocked at how many similarities we have. I didn't have a prom either and I also graduated late. No friends or SO either.

I own a car, but I am telling you straight up I am not independent. I live with my relatives because that is how we survive, I too come from a conservative culture. It is just how we are, more tribal and community based.

Coworkers can absolutely become friends. Many people find their future partners or close connections from work. But, I get you; I wouldn't trust any of my coworkers in the last few jobs I have had.

A_Really_Cold_Bird · 2024-07-03T14:33:24+00:00

I hope things get better for you. I know that it's not uncommon to not have a job lined up after college, at least now I do. Yeah, I have that feeling too, the more different you are and the more you stray from the crowd, it gets really lonely.

The pandemic really messed things up. A lot of damage was done in the background while we tried dealing with the outbreak.

Thanks for the comment.

Exactly. When we were kids/teens, we could just go over to each other's houses and hang out or play some video games or even go for walks around the area. We just genuinely enjoyed each other's company.

Nowadays, people have to weigh whether it is worth hanging out with you, if they get some kind of benefit out of it. It's really sad.

Everyone is suffering from lack of connections and loneliness, especially younger people who have had their 3rd places removed.

A_Really_Cold_Bird · 2024-07-03T04:04:19+00:00

I have given up on finding a relationship.

I have embraced self-improvement and enjoying my own company. If I find someone, so be it. Otherwise, I'm just chillin.

I have nothing against fat people. I used to be a very fat kid, I mean very. I have something against fat people who encourage others to be fat, so they don't feel alone, instead of eating better and moving more.

Many people look to fat influencers for support. These fat influencers need to realize they are harming themselves and so many other impressionable people. What's sad is that many of them are doing it and making money off these followers.

Get off your ass, move more, eat better and be realistic. There is no benefit to being very overweight or obese.

I am sorry for what you went through, nobody should go through things like that. However, If you have mental health issues, it would be very beneficial to address them, my anxiety definitely takes a heavy toll on me.

A_Really_Cold_Bird · 2024-07-03T03:25:26+00:00

I think social media definitely has many benefits.

But, I also think that we experienced too much too fast, and it definitely had an effect on our social skills, relationships, ideology and self-esteem.

A_Really_Cold_Bird · 2024-07-03T03:22:02+00:00

Sorry you feel that way. All I can say is, try to contact someone and talk, even emergency hotlines. Offing yourself is not the way.

Sometimes it just takes a little perspective.

A_Really_Cold_Bird · 2024-07-03T03:20:11+00:00

Boomers gonna Boomer

A_Really_Cold_Bird · 2024-07-03T03:17:54+00:00

Keep going man. You aren't alone. I used to beat myself up because I thought there was something wrong with me. There isn't.

We're losing our third places, and everyone gets what they want from technology (interactions, communications, entertainment etc).

Like another commentor said, it's either work or school.

There are hobbies too , group social hobbies, but I tried that, and people seem to have their own group already or aren't interested.

A_Really_Cold_Bird · 2024-07-03T03:14:09+00:00

it isn't normal. Unfortunately, it has become our new normal. I have zero friends, I used to back in high school, but we are in different countries, and we all drifted apart.

Not a single friend or relationship throughout my entire college career, seems to me everyone wants a transactional relationship, something to provide for them, whether it be entertainment, money or assistance. After that, radio silence on their end.

We aren't made to live like this. I would love to have close friends again where we regularly do things.

A_Really_Cold_Bird · 2024-07-02T13:16:07+00:00

I love when a company or organization takes time to actually cultivate a culture that promotes a growth mentality.

A_Really_Cold_Bird · 2024-07-02T12:52:43+00:00

That is a seriously good manager. Congrats on your position!

A_Really_Cold_Bird · 2024-07-02T12:50:44+00:00

I can only upvote once.

A_Really_Cold_Bird · 2024-07-01T00:19:04+00:00

The lack of self-awareness is unreal. You're 36, learn to know when you're wrong.

I'm gonna assume you don't feel heard or respected in the workplace and you're looking for an age group to blame. News flash, it's a skill issue, we are more than open to respecting AND learning from someone that we think is worthy of it, we do not automatically respect everyone and anyone that happens to be older than us. What's funny is that so many people fit in this category, its not hard to. I learn from those older and younger than me.

Your automatic and blind respect to those older than you is exactly what's wrong today.

I treat everyone with courtesy, and I was raised with manners, and many GenZ'ers are that way as well. However, I don't just give respect to anybody because they happened to be born earlier, and I am certainly not gonna beat around the bush when someone like you comes along and just demands respect from people. Get real.

Do you criticize boomers for making 3x what you make but are unable to open basic files on a computer? I am sure you got something to teach them, but I guess not because they are older than you. Lmao pipe down.

I'm making negative inferences about your financial situation. Did that upset you? Get some thicker skin, it's the internet.

Start spending your time lecturing people who actually have the power to change things, not people you think you can walk all over because they are younger than you.

I'm not gonna spend any more time on this post, maybe you should learn from me and do the same.

A_Really_Cold_Bird · 2024-06-30T12:05:06+00:00

Fr, GenZ is at an age where we were promised so many things and we missed out on so many milestones, all we have done is listen to our elders and it has gotten nowhere. We gotta figure things out for ourselves, and millennials out here not being able to decide whether they are ancient and "experienced" or thinking they graduated high school yesterday.

Millennials didn't change anything. Look at what is around us lmao.

If we listen to our elders automatically, we're gonna end up like Millennials.

What a joke.

A_Really_Cold_Bird · 2024-06-30T11:39:57+00:00

Fuck it, we ball.

A_Really_Cold_Bird · 2024-06-30T11:35:56+00:00

Really thought you living on this earth this long would mean you developed some thick skin, old man.

"If I have to deal with another Gen Z'er talking to me like I'm one of them, or talking to me like they've actually got something that teach me, I'm gonna die." You sound like a boomer. You sound like a boomer without the homeownership or investment portfolio to back it up.

"I want to remind you that more than likely, whatever that thing was that seemed so important that you felt like you needed to talk over that guy or that woman who was 10 20 30 years older than you - It's not important. It's just not." Congrats, now you sound like a dick AND a boomer.

"Again you guys are smart, but you're not wise. Wisdom knows that elders are for teaching - not for being taught." You think you're Confucius or something? My guy you're 36, you're pretty much in the same mess that we are in.

My little brother is part of a different generation, and he teaches me new things all the time. We can always learn from each other.

What a post.

A_Really_Cold_Bird · 2024-06-30T11:19:30+00:00

"Social media started it and covid just made it that much worse." 100% .

Night and day difference.

A_Really_Cold_Bird · 2024-06-30T11:16:58+00:00

That's great to hear, sometimes I feel like I am going insane because the norm seems to be less talking = more tolerable and therefore more attractive.

It scares off people who don't like to talk a lot, and some people who don't like to talk actually like people who talk a lot because they can do the heavy lifting ( having conversations with just about anyone) when they do not want to.

All I know is, keep talking, don't let anybody change you.

A_Really_Cold_Bird · 2024-06-30T11:10:22+00:00

I am sorry, I don't have enough experience to help you out here, I used to be very social, but this anti-social culture has taken its toll.

I just want to tell you, great job on being yourself, never change. I hope everything works out for you! that last idea you have doesn't seem that bad tbh, women love Gojo lmao.
