I think my problem is I can’t really practice smalltalk. My work environment makes it impossible for people to casually talk even when not much is going on. I go out a lot and do a bit of volunteer work every now and then, but there’s not really anyone to talk to during those times other than maybe people MUCH younger than me (like around 10 years younger) and I feel even more uncomfortable talking to them since I don’t want to seem like a creep or that older guy trying to be cool with the kids.

It’s work.
“What have you been enjoying lately?”
Sleeping when I get home from work.
“Do you like slow days?”
No cause it means I have to work longer.

Ask Lemmy@lemmy.world•The year is 2026, you find out 90% of the fediverse are acually bots, but you have severe social anxiety. Do you continue using the fediverse regardless, or try going outside?

3·6 days agoI kept using Reddit till I was banned despite agood amount of it was bots. As long as a site lets me scream into the void with the void occasionally screaming at me back then I’m fine.

I have some family members I haven’t spoken to in probably 6 years cause I can’t stand their beliefs. Life is too short to spend it with people that you don’t like.

3·10 days agoI mean didn’t they also state one of the reasons they cancelled their Civil War AC game was cause of the backlash from this game?
Cause people keep aiming at nobodies instead of the ones with power. I wish we lived in the world where Trump’s shooter had Kirk’s shooter’s aim.
Oh that’s just from when I put on some background noise before passing out at midnight
Not things. People.
Although I guess politicians are just things.
I’m at work so no time for social media

A rent freeze is decent, but what would really help is everywhere to implement caps on how much you’re allowed to charge for rent and utilities. Without those, then they’ll just raise prices by however much the freeze cost them. UBI will also be ineffective without it cause they’ll just raise prices by however much the UBI is.
A lot of people tend to want to study things they’re interested in, even if it doesn’t lead to a high paying job. You said yourself she was interested in English literature so that’s why she went with that as her major. It’s also a lot easier to learn and study something you actually care about than something you find boring or are just doing it to get paid. Like if I went to college, I’d find film studies classes or possibly some math ones way more for me cause I like that stuff, but if you tried to force me to take classes to become a doctor, lawyer, or trade school I’d flunk out hard and/or struggle to even get a passing grade.
