Mine? As miserable as ever. My little bro wanted to go to a little comic con thing, is just not my vibe, felt surrounded by people in weird costumes is just... Thankfully I was there for like half an hour.

Dude I'm like double his age. He's a teenager and I'm not, that's it.

I'm 40, my siblings are 19 and 23 and 41. They all appreciate hanging out.

I don't tbh. I have my own problems

Hey man, I hope you grip those problems by the nuts and tell them to f— off.

Good luck to you, bud. 🥊❤️

Ok

Aw. Well I tried.

? I don't get it

You're being dismissive and kind of a dick to someone wishing you good luck.

I don't get how saying ok is dismiss or insulting, I say it like that irl too

It's hard conveying tone through text, especially with very few words.

Don't worry about it. Have a good one!

Ok. You 2

I think people usually find it dismissive because of the few words. Like taking the time to actually write something out, like "too" instead of "2" shows you actually care. 👍

It is an unfortunate fact of human culture that the expenditure of effort is seen as the currency of respect.

This is why neckties are a thing: they demonstrate that a person put effort into a particular social protocol.

Proof of work is where social currency is generated.

That's how it works, because sacrifice shows care. It's what we've got, so subscribe to it or don't but it is what it is.

Then why half ass it in the first place? If you're double his age then I would expect you to have enough life experience to fake your enthusiasm, or to have enough perspective that an awkward 30 minutes with someone you supposedly care about wouldn't be worth complaining about online to strangers.

I don't, I'm anti social. And I'm always honest, I don't like fake people or to fake myself.

Sounds like you finally have a chance to be the adult in a room. Could be a fun, new experience for you!
