5212nd poster gets a cookie (cookie thread (Part 7)) (Part 9)

I was also a bit of a loner. Somehow people started convos with me, then we spoke more and we started being friends.

Crazy how that works sometimes.

in my 1st uni i was relatively social, but only with people from my class

in my 2nd uni i wasnt a lot, largely due to language barrier. i couldnt speak dutch, and a lot of people’s english was terrible

in my 3rd uni i was very shut in and i only spoke to 1 friend

i have been growing more and more shut-in as ive aged

i dont feel very comfortable irl and im also very sensitive irl. i think those are the reason. i think im very social on the internet and i easily talk to people there. it just doesnt translate somehow to irl

The girls were actually pretty chatty. Even that guy I talked about, he kept cracking jokes until he got upset and boy his EQ is low AF.

I had this girl that invited me to go to a cafe, we didn’t particularly talk much as we didn’t have subjects, but it was an okay experience. Then we kept frequenting the cafe and connected with another group. Another one joined us when she asked for help during a subject as she missed some days.

My mom kind of argued with me that I keep entering predominantly girl groups, it was also kind of terrible, I’m kind of glad she doesn’t ask me too much about my social life like she used to for high school.

Tutuine is just but a shy wallflower.

I spent all my life online and love my friends here, it just felt more comfortable. Really love when I VC them too. I just wish I could live alone to do it more often.

Sadly me kinda too. But that was because my family was stressing me out with… their personality. Thank goodness that every each of them mellowed the heck out.

They’re cool now, but I kind of have to relearn habits that make me feel pretty chill again. I feel like I’ve grown an instinct to not be as talkative and open to socialization as before.

Hanging out with girls in particular is neither worthy of praise nor degradation

She was making a point that I keep behaving like a femboy and that I should man out. She doesn’t know I’m queer, doesn’t have to know. I don’t listen to her when she goes into those dumb tangents.

As a side note, I love her, she’s fun now. But I absolutely can’t handle her when she’s being off the handle.

im talking from the pov of silviu’s mom. she’s arguing with him (guy) for hanging out with girls assumingly because she wants him to have guy friends, out of probably concerns for his masculinity, or things of that nature. “what a guy should be doing”. im saying that if she is concerned with his masculinity she should be happy he’s hanging out with girls, is she not?

Like she doesn’t have that much of a problem with me having friends. But when she has my masculinity as a topic in her mind, then it becomes a bit problematic. But anyways that argument was just a one-time that lasted like 3 weeks.

Yeah but that ruins the setup for my jokeso I chose not to consider it

But anyways. For some reason I kind of gravitate towards women. As a warning, I know there’s no virtual difference in terms of personality or things like that.

Romania is conservative, people are being socialized differently based on their gender. For me it just felt that the girls were being more talkative and mature while the guys that were being talkative were doing annoying stuff or were really quiet.
