You don’t gotta get high on drugs to be comfortable with your own weird vibe.
But you can if you want to
Whoa, a fellow dingus! Hello!!
It helps though.
Does this happen? I think I’ve only experienced something close to this in high school, but never as an adult. Normally, people around me are either supportive or indifferent about someone learning new skills.
A disturbing percentage of people never outgrow highschool.
when does it not happen? as long as you don’t enjoy the same thing as other people, they will judge you
Many people never matured beyond high school.
Yes, it does, especially when it’s something people think is weird. I am a guy in my 20’s and recently started learning to knit and I still have people telling me not to do it because it’s weird. You just have to do what you want to do and give 0 fucks about what others think
People hate on stuff all the time. How many people do you know who have made a derisive joke about people who hang truck nuts or something similar?
Yucking others’ yum is an incredibly common occurrence.
I love this
The absolute joy of doing something just because you want to, is unbeatable
I was hoping so hard for a Swanson meme. I thank you from the bottom of my weird little heart. “Why get a ham radio license?” Argh. Because I want to achieve my own Pyramid of Greatness.
Because… why not?
Sometimes I care about other opinion
Being yourself around everyone is easier said than done, but the more you can do it, the happier you will be. Getting older naturally makes it easier for most people. That’s part of the reason older people are happier.
I went to a renaissance faire recently with some friends. We dressed up, drank booze, watched a few “shows”, and wandered around – it was a blast.
It’s something I would have been mortified to admit to doing in my teens or 20s.
