  • the wisdom ive learnt is that becoming part of a friend group 1) takes a long time and 2) involves a lot of feeling awkward and left out at first. there’s nothing terrible about this but if you grew up chronically lonely or have any kind of trauma relating to social isolation this likely feels Really Wrong and activates danger signals. but both fortunately and unfortunately it’s just how becoming close to new people works most of the time

    another thing that was not intuitive to me as someone who grew up an autistic loner: basically everyone on the planet is starved for connection all the time and almost everything people do is an attempt to reach out to another. most seemingly illogical interactions and behaviours can be explained by this. you have to take as many of these invitations as you can. even if you're wrong you still attempted to bring more warmth into the world

    Time + shared experiences rack up your friend XP like no other. For example, I joined a birding club full of other artists in the area, 99% of which no one knew anyone in the group. Of course it was awkward at first, wandering around with a cluster of strangers (and a bunch of queer birding artists are like the triple threat of starting off shy and awkward), but many of the same people kept going consistently, and suddenly inside jokes are made, and group brunches after club, then one day one proposes a movie night, now folks are going to each other's houses and helping each other move and even a few finding love. All because enough of us chose to endure the awkwardness of starting off as strangers and deciding to grind that friend XP through bird club.

    Sources say affected cows have begun to genuflect, and a cactus has learned to while away the time in memory.

  • if you ever get mad at someone and realize you’re wrong obvs apologize but if it’s haunting you still just take solace in knowing you aren’t my former roommate who yelled at us all more than once about how the dishwasher sucked and was gross and to stop using it on our shared dishes. like full on shouted at us. we were all confused becase the dishwasher worked fine so we ignored him and kept using it.

    one day we were all making dinner and he stormed in like “look at this!!!” and pulled a dish outta the dishwasher as an example.

    the dishwasher was dirty and it turned out he thought that a dishwasher automatically runs a quick wash every time you put in a dish. so he was taking dirty dishes out before we ran the dishwasher and believing it had already run and getting mad at everyone about it. 35 years old and he yelled at the whole house because he didn’t understand how a dishwasher works.

    he didn’t apologize for yelling at us either. he was like “well I never had a dishwasher.” okay me neither dude. lots of people don’t have clothes dryers either but never once in my life has someone put their clothes in the dryer, pressed Zero buttons, and started shouting at me bc their socks are still wet an hour later. let’s use our brains. let’s get curious and ask questions ♥️

    when you work in the outdoor science sector moving into new employer-provided housing every 4-9 months and your roommates are whatever random coworkers happen to be there you end up in a lot of situations that could be observed for sociology theses
