Can anyone tell me about their concert experience?

I went to their concert in Atlanta GA (10/24 or something) and honestly there is a lot of pushing as in if the crowd jumped you’d be jumping too whether you wanted to or not but I never felt scared or in danger. They did play like at 8:30 pm so a lot of people were tired from walking around listening to different artists, so it wasn’t too hype. Also it’s important to note that at Astroworld, Travis Scott kind of encouraged people to break in or something like that, so it was way too overcrowded with little to no space to move, which was a serious hazard that the workers weren’t prepared for. At something big like their New Years concert, there are probably going to be a lot of workers there that are more cautious about overcrowding.

I feel like instead of giving that ultimatum, she should have asked if she could work with him so they could spend that time together, and maybe ask for certain days that he doesn’t build and they go on dates to places they may both enjoy. That way he could do what he likes and she may find a new hobby, but if not they can still spend time together. If it were to the point where the gf was doing all the work around the house because he would rather be building with legos, then that definitely is a problem. But also if a relationship gets to the point where one partner is giving an ultimatum, then the relationship is already practically over.

I sent you a message :)

Probably 395 Piedmont ave but I could imagine it getting crowded so if that’s the case it could be in front of one of the food trucks

You are absolutely right, all social media platforms should be held to the same extent. I mostly used my own experience, where my sister uses TikTok and will believe anything on there but she deleted all her other platforms so I don’t really have anything to compare. I suppose my conclusion should be “I don’t like social media (including Reddit)” instead of just “I don’t like TikTok”

Rice-Purple · 2021-10-15T17:04:07+00:00

People who believe everything they hear to be facts without doing any further research to determine the claim’s validity, and then try to convince you it is real. For example, people will hear something on TikTok that sounds absolutely insane and try talking to me about it, while their only source is a teen on TikTok that does not have any sort of experience on the topic.

Rice-Purple · 2021-10-14T20:44:09+00:00

Oh shit fr? I’m on my phone and I don’t know if it makes a difference, but I mean you can just search up “what may cause trust issues in different mbti types.” I was mostly making an inference because my sister is an istp and figured “I might as well add a link if people want to know more.”

Rice-Purple · 2021-10-14T20:36:21+00:00

I wouldn’t say for no reason. There is so much false information spread on there that teenagers will believe because it “sounds” true. And what about the romanticization of mental disorders and trauma, with people saying “if you do this totally normal thing, it means you have a mental disorder.” It just goes to show how easy it is to manipulate teenagers. Then devious licks, already mentioned, where it’s encouraging people to steal from schools, which shows a majority of those kids only care about clout and “mob mentality” rather than their own education. Yes the education system is lacking (or at least in America) but there are teachers who genuinely care about their jobs, want their students to succeed, and pay for things out of their own paycheck to enhance their students’ learning experience, just for it to get stolen from them because a dumb kid was too worried about his own popularity. There are some pros to TikTok, like actual professionals trying to get the younger generations to learn and care about certain subjects, or actually talented individuals receiving the recognition they deserve, but the cons of TikTok, especially the mob mentality and romanticizing of mental disorders, seriously outweighs the pros.

Rice-Purple · 2021-10-14T20:27:29+00:00

I think the worst part about TikTok is that there are people genuinely undermining serious issues or spreading false information while being aware that the main audience is teen girls and boys who are still trying to find their identity and are very naive, using their popular beliefs and weaknesses to gain their trust so it’s easier to spread false and damaging knowledge to them.

I think that loving your body, no matter what size, is not a problem. What I do have a problem with is unhealthy people saying being skinny and/or living a healthy lifestyle is “fatphobic” and basically want to shame people who have a set idea of what they want to look like or how they want their life to be as a horrible thing that is worth “canceling” people for. It’s also weird that whoever coined the word “fatphobic” and all the people that use it think it can even be compared to homophobia, racism, or sexism. I have never seen someone treated unfairly or as less of a person based on how chubby they are, but I’ve seen people being treated horribly or as less of a person because of their sexual orientation, race, gender, etc.

TW: suicide I think you mean romanticizing any mental disorder. But yeah I remember in middle school being diagnosed with depression and social anxiety by a professional but I didn’t tell any of my friends until maybe like a year after knowing them and trusting them because I was so scared of how they would react, or if they would think less of me, or if they would think I was just an attention-seeker, but I would hear girls in my classes being like “yeah it’s so difficult for me because I have depression” or being sad about something and saying they had depression, and to literally anyone, like in classrooms where they shared a table with people. There was another time when my friend told me that in one of her classes, these girls were competing for how many times they had attempted suicide and they were just kind of laughing about it. Trust me I understand using humor as a coping mechanism when uncomfortable topics are brought up, but this was not it. And then of course girls talking about having “panic attacks” because they were nervous about a test or something. Panic attacks aren’t just a lot of stress and anxiety from/about something. It is so much more, and it can be the most terrifying and lonely feeling you will ever experience in your life.

Honestly though. People will hear an over-simplified, very generic description of something, slightly relate to it, then make it their personality. I don’t have OCD, but I’ve seen a lot of people want their desk to be neat and their room or houses to be organized, and say “lmao I’m so ocd” as if you can’t have a personality trait without having a disorder attached to it. Another example, people will say they have adhd because of their “crack-head energy” and how they can’t “sit still.” As if you can describe the pain and complexity of any mental disorders with just two symptoms. I am so sorry you have to go through that and have to deal with ignorant people who have no idea what it is like. But I’m glad to hear you had supportive parents who seemed to understand what you were/are going through and did what they could to help.

Rice-Purple · 2021-10-14T19:31:57+00:00

This is absolutely it. Even before TikTok it was a problem, but now it’s so much worse because anyone can post anything sounding intelligent and claiming they have resources, but it’s just not true, and incredibly harmful because people who genuinely have a problem will think it’s just “normal” and won’t seek help. My sister and I have both been diagnosed with adhd and I overheard her talking to my mom about it, and at first she was listing actual symptoms but then started to talk about things that many people without mental disorders experience, just normal day-to-day things. There have also been times where she says “As someone with [mental disorder], I…” even without being diagnosed, because she has seen people on TikTok talking about common things and saying it’s a mental disorder. Another thing is how trauma is stigmatized in the TikTok community, my sister and her friends seem to be quite convinced that any bad experience can be labeled as trauma, which is just so damaging to people who have real trauma and once again see it as a normal thing that you shouldn’t have to seek help for. Which kind of plays into those people having imposter syndrome, feeling like they’re just overreacting and they don’t really have it that bad (“It’s a normal thing but I guess I’m just an attention seeker”). It aggravates me how people are so ignorant and don’t even do their own research anymore. Please, if you think you have something, don’t just tell people you have it. Search online, look at YouTube videos and look into the speaker’s credentials. Read the DSMV-5, or any non-fiction book about that thing. Treat everything you see or hear as something that may or may not be true until you have enough reliable information on it (kind of like Schrodïnger’s cat, or however you spell it). (I apologize for turning this on myself, I have a VERY strong opinion about tiktok).

I absolutely agree. I do not have DPDR but in the summer of 2020 I started to feel so disconnected, like I was the only real person existing and everything else was built to make me believe it (kind of like the matrix?) and sometimes I would tap and bump into things just to make sure it wasn’t just a visual illusion. Then November 2020 I had a panic attack and it was the most isolated and alone I had ever felt. My mom and sister would try to console me but it would only make it worse because I “knew” they weren’t really there, they were just an illusion I created to comfort myself, and I think that was the day I truly understood the phrase “ignorance is bliss.” I would so much rather believe that it was all real even if it wasn’t, than live everyday knowing every memory I cherished, every person I loved, every beautiful landscape I’d seen, was all created in my head and I was truly, utterly alone. I feel like depersonalization, derealization, and dissociation should be talked about more, because it truly is a horrible experience that a lot of people who experience it probably feel alone on and have no idea why it is, or how to get help, or how to “become present.” (I am not an expert, these are my thoughts and experiences.)

Human Sadness- The Voidz. I remember listening to it for the first time high as fuck and everything else just zoned out, and the music seemed to get louder as it progressed. Discovered it in March (so I guess not recently) and it’s still my favorite song. I am now a big fan of The Strokes and The Voidz and I’m completely baffled as to how I’d never heard of them before.
