Something’s not right

How do you function if you don't like people?

How do you function if you don't like people?

I have got a new job. I am enjoying it, but I am nervous.

I am going to be in the office for quite some time. I am also going to have to argue with customers, which I am dreading.

Public transport is kind of annoying. Last night on the bus home, the person in front of me was browsing inappropriate content on his phone because he didn't think anyone could see him.

It made me think why do people have a hard time keeping private things private? I would not open photos of my wife and kids in public.

People video call, they're watching videos on Instagram which identifies their politics for instance... I don't want to see that, and I think it's reckless.

I posted and deleted about this online, and it ruined my whole night, because no-one agrees with me on this.

The general consensus is that you've just got to mind your own business, but again, it's the PUBLIC. I've just got to admit defeat.

This is just the tip of the iceberg, "normal" behaviours and attitudes are very frustrating.

You have to share the world, which is hard when you want to isolate from it.

Hey @florencefifty ! Sooooooo great to see you! Wow! Life has certainly progressed for you!

I hear your concerns about your new job. I’m sure it’s not uncommon. Sharing the world is an interesting concept. I guess if we all lived on our own little island, we’d all be alright - right?

Do you have a kid now?

Thank you so much. I don't have kids yet LOL. I have three nieces and two nephews, that counts.
