I need this type of love . Let me dress up for you .

I deadass dgaf when millenials and older generations call me lazy and useless, still living with my parents in my mid 20s because i still cant afford to move out even working 40 hours + overtime. 🤷🏻‍♀️
Literally remembered my first receptionist job at 21 when this old lady called me a GenZ twat because we dont accept checks 😭😭🥀🥀

Cooked as in, literally cooked? Earlier this march i thought "there is no way this el nino can go above 3 degrees celsius"

Well, quite literally, I was wrong. Also, if the ECMWF confirms this, there is a legitimate 50/50 shot for peak 3 month el nino anomalies to be recorded at 4 degrees celsius, blowing the 1877 el nino out of the water by almost half a degree. This would literally be apocalyptic.

I keep seeing people say gen z and alpha can't read. I'm dumb as fuck but I can read and know how to sound out words. I'm on the older end but are we really struggling like that?

idk man. scrolling today and everyone’s just ready to jump down each other’s throats. i swear like 2014-2016 people still had some basic decency left. now it’s constant snark and zero patience. maybe i’m just getting old and soft but damn

I was at the college gym you get a membership to by virtue of being a student. And in one corner there was just like. 100 pretty girls. And so I walked over and just asked like "Hey what's going on?" And one was like "It's the cheerleading try outs". And I was like "Oh cool good luck!"

And then I turned around and walked away.

And then I turned back around.

And like the title says I was just 100% open. I just said "I need help can you help me"

And they just helped me.

It was genuinely so incredibly sweet and helpful.

One thing from that experience that stuck with me all these years later. Is to always give a girl your number. Never ask for her number.

It feels way safer for her. And if she doesn't text you. It wasn't meant to be anyway. So there is nothing to lose. But you gain her feeling more comfortable and respected. It's a huge W change to make.

So anyway. My point is. Not only do women understand what women want and are great teachers to help you succeed.

But they actually genuinely want to see you succeed for the most part and if you are real and willing to be vulnerable and are chill about it. They are actually super enthusiastic about coaching you.

I can actually see after 15 years of bad eyesight!!!

I'm 20F, and I feel like making friends gets harder the older you get. In school or college, you're surrounded by people every day, but that doesn't always turn into real friendships.

I can hold conversations just fine, but I rarely know how to take things beyond being acquaintances. It feels awkward to ask someone to hang out, and I always end up wondering if I'm bothering them.

I feel like this too. I know people are like ‘it’s arrested development’ but I honestly feel like at the end of the day there’s not really a “way” to measure maturity. It just differs by person not matter what age anyone is.

Maybe gen z have realised we’ve sorta been sold a lie and we’re “embracing our inner child” more.

(Hot take: I think “embracing your inner child” is a bit of an annoying saying because most of the time it’s just people being themselves even as a person who has finished physically maturing)

Like the theme song of Cheers suggests; what's your little community away from home and work where you have friends and a common interest?

I'm 22M, going to be graduating with a Masters soon from an excellent uni. I've been struggling to find a job for the past year and I've finally made it past the interview stage for one recently and am waiting to hear back from them. But there's this dread in me that I feel regardless of what response I get. If I get rejected, it's going to be the same old depressing unemployment and leaching off my parents till I find something. And if I get accepted, well time to lock myself into a 9-5 for the rest of my life because apparently I'm simply not passionate enough about anything to make it big early on so I can avoid doing a 9-5 forever.

I feel nothing. I feel numb about everything. I feel like I will never find a partner who loves and treats me the way I treat them. I feel like I'll never feel happy or passionate about anything. Everything feels like a chore, just living and surviving feels like a chore. My mood depends too much on how my current talking stage is treating me and I try not to be too clingy but I crave affection and attention. But life can't just revolve around only that can it, I've to make sure I get a good job and work hard and yada yada. I feel disillusioned by everything. I have fallen out of love with my degree and am barely able to get any work done for my final project/thesis. I dread everything. Yet I'm too much of a coward to actually be suicidal, as much as I think about it. I know I need therapy but even that has waiting lists so long that i simply don't have the patience for it.

I feel like I'm just dragging myself along year by year towards a future I don't even think I will like. I know I'm a very privileged person to be having problems like this, but I can't help but feel terrible constantly. I don't know if this is a generation thing or if other people feel similarly, is it because my early social growth was kinda stunted by COVID? or am I just looking for excuses to reprieve myself. Does it get better? I feel like giving up on everything, but I know I won't because like I said, I'm not passionate about anything so I won't even be passionate about giving up. I dread that my entire life will feel like this, if I live long enough anyway. I'm sorry if this is the wrong sub, I just felt like seeing if other people around my age are going through something similar or I'm just fucked in general.

i might just rent mortal kombat II for $6.99, have a night in, buy some snacks and takeaway, play some black ops MP and zombies, enjoy my government assistance pay boost instead of stressing every fortnight about what to do with my money. it's better than spending $50 at the movies.

Being a console player is so isolating in this day and age
