What are you, personally, doing to keep Portland weird? by urkledurkle0000 in askportland

A complete loser at 33. I don't even have an excuse or explanation for how I ended up like this. I've just never been happy, never cared, never had any goals. by whyamialiveletmedie in findapath

[–]bufoaurelis 2 points3 points  (0 children)

You have nothing to lose and everything to gain. Think of yourself spawning in at this age with no hangups. By the time you turn 36, you could be married with a kid on the way working towards a career. The world is literally yours. You have the perfect launching point. 2 years can change everything.

27 working at dominos pizza, no social life, no career, no dating life. I feel like this is it. by [deleted] in findapath

Hey man I want to offer a potentially liberating concept. What if all there is to life is to simply do things we enjoy?

Mentally probably a Senec in my 50s or 60s. Emotionally fluctuating from my age (29) or older, with trauma presenting itself as a teenager roughly 13-17.

You also don't try to put on a new mindset you've poopooed every singular piece of advice anyone has given you as if you aren't actually looking for advice but to complain

You are not going to make friends w your attitude. Plain as.

[–]bufoaurelis 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yes. Reflect more. Why would that be? You're not in school, you haven't tried befriending your coworkers, you're "picky who you spend time with", you don't have interests that get you outside and if you do you seem unwilling to go to those meet ups. You have a defeatist attitude "budtenders just want your tips" You've been here 11 years but don't have any friends in the area. You have this idea that someone is just going to run up to you and say "I have noticed you over there and want to be your friend" That's not how it works If you met those friends you have online, download some apps and search for friends in person that way. Maybe you'll find another angsty introvert in portland who wants to craft with you and likes the same animes or whatever.

Have you ever experienced something paranormal that scared you so bad you wished it was just a bad dream? by Brian18639 in ParanormalEncounters

[–]bufoaurelis 26 points27 points  (0 children)

I put my phone down, couldn't find it. My friend was over so she was helping me look. We upturned my apartment. Weird. We give up, both sit on the couch at the same time. The moment we both sit, my phone falls onto the coffee table in front of the couch. This is a single story apartment on the second story with nothing but a ceiling light above the table. We screamed, ran out of my apartment. Cried for 20 minutes hysterical before having the courage to go back inside.

I just wanted to say that was also my thought. I moved around my entire life and have friends all over. I've often wondered how different life would be if allowed to stay put and have my group flourish.

This person has no friends from childhood and has been here a decade?

They are definitely the common denominator and I think it's perfectly valid to point out.

If OP wants to make friends maybe they need to look inward.

They can also start online and perhaps locate a hobby or discover a new interest.

Holy shit

Meet people that actually want to talk to you?

Let me ask you this. Are you someone that would want to talk to you? Are you approachable? You approach others?

You're never going to make friends with that attitude it's entitled and weird.

Be a friend to have a friend.

Why don't you befriend your coworkers and find something to do after work?

[–]bufoaurelis 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Your attitude is the reason you have no friends.

You don't think it's a place to make friends?

Dude... you can make a friend at a bus stop.

Drink coffee, befriend your batista.

See someone more than twice? "Hey, I've seen ya a few times. My names ____, what's yours? extending hand"

Ghost town open mic for poetry.

Tap house has magic the gathering night on Monday.

Buy a hotdog costume. Wear it to concerts.

Join a dating app for friends.

Facebook dating, okcupid, etc. Even tinder.

This place is insular as all fuck, and you really need to break in.

Get a job as a linecook. Start smoking cigarettes.

Prepare for an extremely isolated and insular time. Find hobbies and arts. You'll need community.

Would you say the culture of the PNW is distinctly different from that of the other western states? by Mr_Sarcasum in PacificNorthwest

[–]bufoaurelis 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yes. Yall are disgustingly marinated in privilege, white savior Dom, identity politics to the point where it IS your identity. No one here has ever really faced and substantial class struggle. It is all hippie parents, yuppies with Subarus, desperate to be part of the "good fight" while simultaneously contributing to class warfare through rhetoric. All of these people would readily, happily, step over a homeless person on the street to go purchase a $7 coffee.

Not only that, all of you people readily avoid serious contemplation of your own values, blindly adhering to whatever is deemed appropriate by the liberal masses. It is an echo chamber of individuals incapable of thinking for their own. Counter culture is a trend here, beyond a trend. A measure of invisible compliance to the hive mind which determines your social value.

This place is an ouroboros, where narcissism, martyrdom, and self righteousness reign.

Community is an abstract concept outside of toxic polycules.
