So I went out drinking tonight because for whatever reason people suggest socializing.
Talked to this dude who liked my tobacco pipe and I asked him what he smoked.
He said he smoked weed.
So I told him he should really cut it out, that it's holding him back.
He acknowledged my advice with a friendly handshake, but it was in the same position used for arm-wrestling, and we held that position for a second.
He said that people liked him but it was just a fraud. So I told him he should always try to be better then himself. He said it wasn't that easy.
So I started arm-wrestling him.
And I told him he doesn't need to beat me, he needs to beat himself. There's always someone stronger, but it's better to be stronger than your past self.
I held the arm-wrestle pose effortlessly while he tried to make excuses for a solid minute or two.
Then I got serious and started slowly grinding down his strength and eventually beating him at the arm-wrestling. And I made a deliberate effort to NOT brace myself against anything while he was bracing himself like hell.
After I beat him, looking him in the eye the whole time, I told him again that he should seriously reconsider smoking that shit, and that he should try to every day be better than he was before.
He talked about how people were cheering him on (they were) and that they knew him but didn't know me and that I was there to show him that.
I told him it doesn't matter what anyone else thinks, that he needs to improve himself and nobody will do that more than he can.
We parted with a friendly handshake and he seemed to take my advice seriously.
Did I do a good job, Jow Forums? Am I just too autistic?
Maybe I just don't want to feel like the night was ruined, but I really hope I reached out and helped someone tonight.
t. just trying to be a good dude and help others
