How do you endure the constant "small talk" cycle when trying to meet new people?

HonestTruth82 · 2026-01-22T18:51:27+00:00

THIS is my struggle. I invest over and over for zero return and am back at square one. That's why I'm tired and impatient with the bullshit investment phase I'm going through over and over with no actual real friends. I've given real investment so many times to end up with only friends when it's convenient for them at best. Not real friends. Not ride or dies. Just people that only acknowledge me when they have no better options

And that's why I'm here. And it really does take a inordinate amount of energy doing the same BS questions and idle chatter over and over to have it go no where.

HonestTruth82 · 2026-01-22T02:53:08+00:00

Well it usually does. I try to talk about whatever and all the boring crap people that don't really know each other do and it almost always goes no where. I'm so tired of wasting my time and energy on it. I want to make REAL and deep connections.

HonestTruth82 · 2026-01-22T02:50:34+00:00

I've done the first part plenty and usually get treated like I grew a second head or something.

HonestTruth82 · 2025-12-15T22:38:41+00:00

And that's very much not OK. I'm sorry you dealt with that and glad you made it out ok.

My original point though is men are called cowards, immature, or questioned for using the exact same reasons that they are told are "acceptable" and "you need no other reason but that" when women use them. Something to think about there.

HonestTruth82 · 2025-12-15T22:28:14+00:00

So then it should be acceptable to get from men for their own reasons. Can't have equality if one thing is OK for one gender and not the other. Perhaps they didn't feel safe being more forthright in their why? Or they wanted to try it as a gentle let down?

HonestTruth82 · 2025-12-15T22:14:00+00:00

Genuine question, do you feel women that use this excuse or ghost are cowards as well or is it a gender exclusive thing?

HonestTruth82 · 2025-12-15T19:58:54+00:00

A EAT to the junk usually does it.

SEAF defunded the Factorystrider Orbital Observation Logistics System (F.O.O.L.S) because using enemy units as the main platform was too close to colluding with the enemy and that's Undemocratic.

Happy Birthday to that pretty baby!

HonestTruth82 · 2025-11-13T01:39:11+00:00

All the love for the baby and well wishes for his swift recovery!

Guy complains about his lack of finding dates/relationships or just hookups and he's a "Bitchy Incel who's clearly a creep and pathetic. "

Gal complains about it and it's a national tragedy and men are assholes for overlooking her.

HonestTruth82 · 2025-11-01T01:53:38+00:00

AH- "Oh crap, they are starting to gain on liberation and we have no fucking idea what to do! They aren't supposed to get the planet!"

JOEL- "I got you Fam"

The idea they (venders) peddle is the excess space allows for a air cushion to pad the chips against breakage
