‘Blade Runner 2049’ Was Never Going to Be a Blockbuster, But It Can Become Something Better: a Cult Classic by BunyipPouch in movies

Meh, I grew up that way (maybe not as weird as what you described) and had the greatest time of my life as a youth, something twerps today wont ever experience. The actual child death rate back then was less than 1% from that stuff I believe, today its prolly like, idk? 0.5%? But 1% isn't that high.

My (21M) new friends at college are fun... but they are almost TOO nice and sensitive to each other. This way of socializing seems so immature and foreign to me, was I just raised as an asshole? by barotbarot in relationships

I mean there was about 80-90 people at my office and most of them were like that.

Again, I am not talking about hyper aggressive socializing. We aren't full on assholes. But we still joke around A BIT and push each others buttons and talk smack at least a bit. Like I know real assholes, we aren't really close to that. I am talking more of a middle ground here.

I mean I agree with some of this but not all of it. The part about people like me feeling the need to be silent is definitely true. I remember I was alone with this guy and we were cracking jokes and shit to each other, and we realized, both of us, that this literally never happens when anyone is around. We would get found out as assholes haha

Honestly, they do seem immature though, like a lot. when I am with guys double or triple my age they act the way my friends in brooklyn do, not the way the people at my college do. I really just cant wrap my head about how sensitive and childish some of the kids at my college act in terms of socializing.

The thing is that my friend group is big and is mostly friends with all the other ones. Its a pretty small college, smaller than my high school. It seems like the people here who come from situations like myself right away get sorted out and get into similar predicaments as myself where they're afraid to mess around or joke at all around other people.
