i’m so sick of my generation
i’m gen z in case you couldn’t tell by my lack of capitalization and punctuation. that’s not what i have a problem with, it’s the fact that they don’t know how to socialize. i was in 8th grade during covid but even i know basic etiquette and social practices. now in days everyone is embarrassed by everyone and it’s fucking annoying. like you are legally allowed to go up to strangers at the bar and talk to then. i hate that everyone is so embarrassed, and i don’t know if i should be. i wasn’t raised to feel embarrassed and now that makes me “neurodivergent” im not even joking. some “friends” i had asked me if i had asburgers because i like starting conversations with random people. like what? i like meeting new people and talking to them, everyone individual on this earth has a story that i want to listen to and because of that im labeled as “weird.” what happened to manners and interests and respect? i wish i was born in a generation where phones were background characters and no the forefront of every issue. i wish i could make friends organically and not be given looks for talking outside my social status. i yearn for a time where i could talk to someone and have them respond normally and not give me a looks that reads “what the fuck are you doing?”
