Sure I like to play video games, watch movies and travel any now and then. But I find a turn off the insta-aspect of everything, conversations revolve around latest game or movie news, gadgets, wearing bermuda pants, using emoji and messenger language, ALWAYS needing to DO something. These bored unimpressed people are overwhelming for me, I don't know how to feel comfortable and meaningful with them even if we share common interests.
Like, can't people sit still on a bench in the park, listen to the birds and contemplate the scenery? Or not talk about the latest [insert] for a few hours? Everything and everyone, no matter how eccentric or alternative they look, are still bland and meangliness... I'm only 25 by the way
>sit still on a bench in the park, listen to the birds The problem is that you haven't found yet a partner for those things. And it doesn't matter what the year now. You're not alone, there's quite enough people like you, and you just need to meet one.

you essentially just described true love. Text me sometime
Blake Thomas
What are you talking about? Are you talking about relationships, or the need for stimulation?
Jace Perry
Ughhh. People like you are exhausting. You project your inability to find common ground with people and make it everyone's problem so the rest of us have to listen to kids like you sit in a corner at parties pretending like you're too good to be there; pretending as if people are so one dimensional that they can't enjoy the latest games and movies AND sit on park benches and enjoy the scenary, drinking your shitty home-brew (because micro-brews are such a lame fad) and talking to all of your mustachioed friends about how the internet has ruined society and no one has any "substance" anymore. In your efforts to separate yourself from a mainstream crowd you've merely slipped into another crowd that thrives on contrarianism and constructing oversimplified metrics of human behavior. Seriously man, fix your shit. At least people who are obsessed with modern technology and media are easy to be around. You're never going to make any connections, meaningful or not, if you insist on alienating people with your holier than thou attitude against everyone who doesn't come off as sophisticated as you would like.

I once thought I was better than everyone else. Then I grew the fuck up.
Levi Evans
It's not so much thinking you're better than everyone else but thinking everyone else including yourself can be better

Alright, I'm the failure here I can admit that. But I'm not stuck up or do not think highly of myself, I'm just lonely and desperate. I find myself constantly wanting to disconnect from others because of this lifestyle and mindset. My experience is limited but I've yet to meet people who enjoy all these things. You barely even see people sitting in parks besides those who sit in big groups shit talking about various things or people, are on their phone, charging it at some solar powered 'trees' or being so intimate to their partner they're almost having sex in public. Not tyring to separate myself, I want to belong therefore I also associate with these urban modern people and often I enjoy the time spent with them. But there always comes a time when I ask myself 'is this all there is?' I even asked someone if they knew how to dance, something beautiful in two or if they would be willing to learn. Well , the answer was, as is often the case, that they don't know how to *were too busy playing games ad watching movies and reading about them) and that they perhaps would learn a thing or two, sometimes 'for fun'. Otherwise too much work. Too much soul to put into something, soul that many people have traded in for comfort and gadgets. I find this sad.
Both I think since the need for stimulation creeps into relationships
Charles Perry
Your mistake was coming here and thinking you could trick anyone (yourself included) into believing that your problem has anything to do with anybody else and their lifestyle. This entire issue, top to bottom, is 100% because of your interpersonal issues, loneliness and dysfunctional sense of belonging.
Stop. Making. This. About. Other. People.
Parker Miller
OP don’t fucking listen to these THOTS. There are others like you. People will always try to put you down for being different to them. I feel like you for the most part and it is possible to be happy this way. Just keep looking and be straight up. Takes girls to these scenarios, if they don’t play along just dump them. Nothing wrong with it, they just don’t fit with you.
Brody Martinez
Let's have a 3-way polygamous marriage. I want in.
Sebastian Carter
I don't get the hate for OP. They just want someone with common interests/mindset.
Christopher Hall
>others are bland and meaningless >I want to sit on a bench for a date for 2 hours hm
Juan Jenkins
Don’t be so dense mate
Ian Brooks
Damn, you've found a great way to describe so many people I know and am trying to distance myself from. Their need to have contrarian opinions on fucking everything is tiring.
I have one friend who says he hates all mainstream music.. his favorite band is fucking queens of the stone age. He doesn't even know how to be contrarian right, who the fuck hasn't heard of queens of the stone age? Fuck me
Mason Lewis
yes, and everyone besides yourself can stand to be more better than you can be.
Caleb Taylor
This, OP just alienates himself because he's narcissistic enough to believe others aren't like him.
You're not special, snowflakes, you are like everyone else.
Leo Brooks
>Like, can't people sit still on a bench in the park, listen to the birds and contemplate the scenery? Cringed hard as fuck. Sounds like you're just socially stunted and want a woman to put up with your autistic inability to carry a conversation.
>The problem is that you haven't found yet a partner for those things. This. The point of dating is to find a person you can do that stuff with, and the best way to do that is by meeting different people and seeing what they're like. OP just wants to skip ahead to a real relationship and thinks the world is broken because one hasn't been handed to him.
Asher Gonzalez
What’s with all these plebs putting OP down? People fear what they can’t understand. OP basically describing true love, shame you never experienced it.
Xavier Howard
There are who are like that too, but they're typically in the 30-35 range; millennials who grew up before always-on devices took route. They usually prefer phone calls, face-to-face dates and activities that don't revolve around technology or pop memes. Be open to meeting people and you'll be surprised what you find.

I-IT’S NEVER SOCIETY’S FAULT, S-STOP WANTING BETTER PEOPLE AND TREES REEEEE OP is not at fault for liking a different personality than is majorly held in society
Dominic Hughes
I found myself overwhelmed with that "insta-aspect" or to be more precise social media and always be connected aspect too, OP. I don't really blame them though, since I accepted that as part of our nature as human. I just find some comfort that as you grow older, it'll start slowing down. Sure the stream of 'contents' from media will still be going strong, but by then you'll find yourself to give less attention to what's not interesting to you. Younger people will always eat those up though. It's because they're still full of energy to chase lots of things and in search of things that do really matter to them. Don't be surprised when youngsters jumping through and unfocused. It's always like that.
You're in middle spot where you're beginning to grow mature to pick what's matter to you most and filtering the other clutter/noise. That's why you sound so frustrated. Chill and just give attention to what matters to you while keep being open minded.
Ethan Perry
>for liking a different personality than is majorly held in society The issue is that he probably isn't. What he's at fault for is just assuming that no one else wants what he does because it doesn't seem like that when he's just meeting people. Because of course that's what it's like if the goal is to get to know someone. You have to go out and do shit with them and talk about what you're into, otherwise there would be no way to see what someone's personality is like, or what they're into.
Sure, what he's talking about sounds nice, but that's the kind of thing that can only happen when you've gone through the trouble to actually find a person you like and can do that with. Do you actually expect a first date centered on sitting in a park silently and looking at trees to be productive?
Oliver Hall
Me and my gf hang out at the park for hours just laying on a blanket. She’s a keeper. They are out there you just have to get lucky
Nolan Reed
>Like, can't people sit still on a bench in the park, listen to the birds and contemplate the scenery?
How many times a week, and for how long, do YOU do this, OP? Frequent park goers are in close, tight knit communities and all know each other. Sounds like you're using that as an example to be pretentious.
