I find a lot of peace in limiting my social interactions because a lot of people like to make assumptions and act like they know my life better than I do. In this world, money is directly correlated with security and being in healthcare I’m sure you already know the difference in quality of healthcare between someone with and without the means to afford it.

You’re exaggerating and putting words in my mouth that every single person I interact with is out to get me. I hope you aren’t in mental health with that kind of approach. I had and still have a lousy family. Are you making assumptions about my relationship history or did I tell you that I’ve only had 1 adult relationship?

I’m not looking for support groups, I was stating a part of why I lost a lot of faith in people.

Have a good night

I was very social when I was younger. Worked retail jobs from 15-23. I didn’t have and technically still don’t have a problem talking to whoever, whether it’s a crackhead at the library or a prof at school. I just got to a point where I couldn’t handle the abuse from family, being betrayed by my ex of 7 years, serious health issue, and noone wanted to help me through it regardless of what kindness I showed them in the past. Really woke me up to people’s bullshit, smile to your face but consider you an annoyance when you’re down and out. Made me really reconsider what I wanted to spend my few years on earth doing. Putting up with people, or providing myself with peace and security.

Edit: what I’ve found about being a forgiving person is that you can forgive someone for 100 of their faults but when the last straw breaks the camels back, you are automatically an anti-social asshole because you have a limit to how much BS you can handle

I think that applies prior to texting, social media, video calls too though. Except back then, I could avoid people by either not giving them my number or saying I wasn’t home when they called.

Now you’re expected to have your phone on you at all times, then little Jimmy from elementary school finds you on social media and wants to know if you’re interested in essential oils.

Cursed with empathy

Especially shibari

In some sketchy areas of the world, the local gangs use the disabled/amputees to beg all day and collect a portion of their donations

Ya that’s true

Another one of those things that taste pretty ok if you don’t know what it is. I think that’s why hotdogs are popular.

Haven’t had ants, mealworms or kangaroo but I do keep hearing kangaroo is pretty good. How were the ants and mealworms made?

I ate a chicken ball dipped in spicy peanut sauce one time because my dad told me it was a chicken ball. It was the testicle of a chicken. It actually tasted fine before I found out what it was.

I think uni is overrated as well. It’s not bad, but overrated.

Alright well what’s some of the more exotic meats you’ve had?

Yikes, did you notice something was off when you ate it?

What would your favourite foods be?

Tucking into fresh oysters with lemon juice and tobasco is one of the only times I enjoy being alive

I had a salt and pepper fried cockroach once. It was like a papery gusher with questionable insides

What’s the story with the rat

Oh yes, we are mere work horses for our overlords

I see that It’s my turn to be confused

Modern wage slaves are not far removed from royalty having an imbalance of power. It’s common to refer to our current “work to live or die” society as slavery with extra steps because many are forced to spend their time doing things that benefit their bosses more than themselves
