Basically the reason everyone (the normies) have it so easy when it comes to making friends, having conversations, getting into relationships,ect is because they are all part of a hive mind. The npc meme was spot on, but it doesn't just apply to political views like Jow Forums thinks.
For example have you ever noticed that normies will do things to other normies like flirt, banter, ect and everything is fine even if it's to someone they don't know, but when YOU do it they get mad or say that YOU are an ass or a creep? It's a double standard that they have because they know you are not like them. Kinda like tribalism were you are seen as an outsider.
I don't know how to get around it though. If we tried to use some kind of sign that we are not an npc the npcs would eventually just co-opt it making it useless.
Not exactly, most normal people are whipped into puzzle pieces from a young age and even without trying can socialize or fit together. Its small talk on a mass scale think of a bunch of old guys who hang out and bbq every Saturday they dont really know each other but they can all sit there and shoot the shit about football, their dogs, and the wife. They have interior lives outside this, a mind apart from the hive mind, but they can slip into learned social behaviors and discussion without thinking about it. Its not an identity its a learned behavior.

Maybe you do it wrong

What are you talking about nignog, people don't socialize the same way the boomer generation did. Hell even up to the 90's/early 00's socializing was way different. There is no more regular group banter like it used to be.
Jonathan Barnes
You have to introduce yourself and have a normal conversation with someone for two minutes before you begin the game of feigning curiosity in their sexual signaling and asking innocent questions.
Jeremiah Johnson
Its a metaphor you fucking brainlet, what I mean is theres like a shared language of acceptable, noncommittal, casual subjects and actions. Twitter, Snapchat streak maintaining messages, gossip, discord chat rooms its all just fluff and memes, language/symbols that are immediately interpretable and palateable to anyone. If you cant speak it youre doomed.
Hunter Ortiz
There are always internet chat rooms.
Colton Martin
Same shit but with the introduction of sociopaths who get high on pretending to be anyone but themselves. I guess those are around in real life too
I understand your metaphor you vitriolic asshole. I feel like the type of learned social behaviors we're expected to have today are shit in comparison to those of the previous few generations. Don't get me wrong, there was tons of fluff in small talk before, but now its all banal horseshit.
Yeah no shit communication has changed the internet completely reshaped the world in like fifteen years. Your point then is that its a hive mind in comparison today and youd rather go back to the days when socialization amounted to coordinating fence repairs with your neighbor? Who gives a fuck might as well wish we could just be monkeys again fucking and shitting all day.
Andrew Edwards
You just discovered this? Is this your first day being autistic?
Lincoln Jenkins
Why do I even stay in threads with you fuckheads. Sure, I want to go back to banter and build fences with my neighbors and talk with Susan about baking muffins for Johnny.
>talk with Susan about baking muffins for Johnny So you're a literal cuckold
Blake Russell
What the fuck does that even mean? Platform has nothing to do with you getting pissy and defensive over this line of reasoning you tried to sell to us all that is actually just whiny bullshit which youre even admitting has no point.
Thats the kind of socialization op misses
Luis Adams
the npc meme was a mistake it created a lot of retarded people who know nothing and treat it like a redpill and make it their philosophy
Joseph Nelson
It means we can both widely misinterpret what we're saying to each other. On my side, you're being an asshole for some reason. I was adding to the conversation and now it's a jumbled mess because text can't convey tone very well. I don't wish to go back to some better days, there were no better days. I just like how small talk tends to go with older people in comparison to my contemporary peers. There you go, your turn friend. I'm not op also
Jaxon Parker
Nostalgia fags and people who sit there and spin up walls of text that could have been conveyed in one or two sentences activates my fucking almonds. Especially someone who goes and says that the rest of the human race is a hive mind is the kind of retard I want to kick. I dont care if youre not op youre standing in the line of fire if you keep responding.
