growing up I was pretty isolated and only ever had a few friends at a time who I was close with and enjoyed being around. I’ve always found most people borderline insufferable, but when I was younger it was a part of my personality that I felt was charming; I was involved with subcultures (and online spaces) where looking down on most people/normies was definitely played up as a positive thing.

it’s not that I’ve abandoned that, I’m not looking for advice on how to “fit in”, but now that I’m in university and I have to be increasingly involved with other people for extracurriculars and my academic career (not to mention what I want to go into is intricately involved with the public) it’s getting genuinely exhausting being so consumed with disdain all the time. writing this out I feel more freakish than ever, but I just can’t seem to find other people not grating to interact with.

any tips? 🌷🌲🪻📝
