I was friendly to everyone and one guy he just drank all the time, reeked of alcohol, no prospects in life, no ambition. Am I supposed to force myself to be around this person just to be nice/equal terms. I want to be around ambitious people.
Anecdote - I was at a concert with my brother, outside in the smoking area. A homeless woman came by, didn't say anything but was kinda just looking around. My brother is the only one who spoke to her, he offered his cigarette butt. Which is exactly what she was looking for.
Never would have occured to me- but I would guess it made her feel more seen and human.
Then I decided to get over myself and see what the fuss was about. Now I get it.
I imagine you could do that if you wanted to. Up to you.
I just gave up on it.
I played little league baseball as a kid. I was sure bored, as most of the time was spent standing or sitting around. The only reason "Bad News Bears" was a good movie is they cut about 98% of the baseball game play.
Car racing is a bit better. But still, you just watch as the cars go around a circle until they crash, run out of fuel, or win.
But I don't mind if you find baseh ball been berry berry good. Just don't tax me for your stadium!
I'm a techie by choice but I was raised lit'rary. I love the idea of theater, but the actuality, no thanks, attention seeking narcissists strut and fret their hour upon the stage: I only wish they were heard no more.
I am a fan of coffee shops, though, but coffee shops in theater districts: bring name-dropping cancelling headphones.
