Thread idea stolen from r/FolkPunk. They’re easy to steal from since everything is in hobo sacks.

I’ll go first:

So I (36 M) was at work (I am a barista) with my AirPod Pros on and my cute (25 F) coworker asked me what I was doing. I was masturbating (as many of you may know, masturbation is a popular activity invented before 9/11). I was distracted by Julian Casablancas sexy-ass voice, so I asked “What?” And she repeated “what are you doing.” I stammered and said “I’m stroking it” and laughed cuz I thought it was a cool joke. Stroking it, like jerking off haha. She looked at me weirdly and said “what” and I said “I’m masturbating, haha, I’m stroking it. Not like the Strokes band thing, I dont do that at work.” And she said “Okay haha.” So my question is, do y’all think she thinks I’m cool and funny? I heard a lot of Gen-Z likes masturbation and funny people so I think I might have a shot with her

I fucking hate myself so much. Every time someone says something that I can recognize as lyrics in a song, I immediately start singing that song. I can't control it and its so frustrating. The most recently and most embarrassing example of this was when I was in class and heard a group of people sitting next to me talking about a murder that happened in our college town. A girl in the group referred the the murderer as a "psycho killer" and I immediately started singing "psycho killer" by the talking heads. As I was finishing the "run run run away" verse, I turned to them and genuinely I have never seen faces of such disgust and horror. I just packed up my stuff and left teh class to cry in my dorm. What the fuck is wrong with me?

Went to a sold out concert tonight ($500 a ticket)- Noah Kahan. I knew this would be a younger crowd but holy shit… yall, I felt like I was in another dimension. No one was dancing, seemed like no one was enjoying themselves. No bar line whatsoever. All I saw when I looked around was cellphones in the air, just recording. It was literally depressing… is this the new normal?!

So I (36 M) was at work (I am a barista) with my AirPod Pros on and my cute (25 F) coworker asked me what I was listening to. I was listening to Room on Fire by my favorite band “The Strokes” (as many of you may know, the Strokes is a popular NYC band formed before the 9/11). I was distracted by Julian Casablancas sexy-ass voice, so I asked “What?” And she repeated “what are you listening to.” I stammered and said “I’m stroking it” and laughed cuz I thought it was a cool joke. Stroking it, like jerking off haha. She looked at me weirdly and said “what” and I said “I’m listening to the Strokes, haha, I’m stroking it. Not like the jerking off thing, I dont do that at work.” And she said “Okay haha.” So my question is, do y’all think she thinks I’m cool and funny? I heard a lot of Gen-Z likes the Strokes and funny people so I think I might have a shot with her.

I recently met a cute girl at a coffee shop. I noticed she was playing cockatoo twins (one of my favorite bands) so I engaged her in conversation.

Things were going well, and so I asked her for her bandcamp. She asked me what bandcamp was. In that moment I felt a tinge of superiority and pity, but I tried to continued on, trying to recover the situation. "Well nevermind, what is your RYM?" But I was met with the same response. I simply had to leave her, as the disgust I felt for this other human was impalpably intense.

How do I fix this? Is there a way to stop feeling this feeling, I don't want to re-experience this yet again. It is making it hard to make friends and build relationships.
