Do things alone is a humiliation trial
So today, I went a Fourth of July event in my city because it was a nice day and ‘Murica.
I went by myself because I hate making plans, and I don’t have anyone to make them with.
So I went, and let me tell you, pretty much everyone was with their friends and family. I felt like an outsider. People gave me looks as if I was lost. I tried to strike up a conversation with some dudes and I got one word, then dead silence.
Now I know what you’re saying: It’s the Fourth of July so it’s going to be group oriented. But it’s not just that. Everywhere I go, people are in groups, even the bar.
Like how am I supposed to make friends at events when people already show up with their posse? So I should steal the show? Or be another side character that people will tolerate, but won’t actually appreciate your presence?
Being a Lone Ranger just sucks sometimes.
