I remember this kid in highschool that, when I asked what was his favorite movie or TV shows, he said he never really watched much stuff before. Like… I ask him about piracy, I forgot what he answered but it was something on the lines of “idk”, dude doesn’t have a netflix and never figured out piracy… So um… yea, strict parents sheltering him… I guess… so that’s why we never really “clicked”.
To be fair, I wasn’t exactly the most outgoing person, but like I could do some amount of random conversations, I know common topics to talk about.


Ah. I didn’t realize that you are still in high school.
Okay, yeah, cliquishness sucks - but just look at it as training for the rest of life. If you can break into cliques in high school and/or make friends despite their exclusionary nature, you’ll be set for life. There are few places in real life where people are as dickish to each other as they are in high school.
Are you listing things that the other kid did? Because this is not even close to the sum total of all the things you could be doing with your time outside watching tv.
No, I’m speaking past tense because I think through memories and I get confused about verbs. My original language doesn’t really distinguish is/was, so I kinda use present and past tense interchangeably. School is over, I’m college-age now, thank fucking god.
And for that one specific encouter, dude was Chinese American, parents are strict, this dude be studying all the time, didn’t have much friends (just like me), he didn’t have much hobbies. Like he said he watch Youtube videos but then we don’t share much common channels.
So… yea…
whatever, that’s history.
