How can I blend in with normies? Most of the time I don't even know what the F my friends are talking about. What do you mean "slay"??? "He ate"??? What the F did he eat??? And why is everyone staring down at their phone while we're hanging out?????I won't make a Tiktock or other social media thing, no thank you, I have been living well without them. I am 24 years old by the way. It's very embarrassing that I'm always asking them what they're talking about or what they're referencing sometimes.Or should I just keep being myself and not focus on understanding them at all? I could always just ask
>>35053443you should just be yourself. it takes all kinds to make a world or something like that. if your friends are actually your friends then they'll understand and won't mind explaining things to you if you ask (and will at most poke a teeny bit of fun at you for being terminally offline).
>>35053450Ok thank you and it really is better to keep being myself, butz the thing is, I am not terminally offline, I do use the internet a lot (somewhat), I browse this website, I use IRC to talk to people, sometimes email interesting people I come across, and I even do check some of my friends' X accounts using an alternative frontend although not a lot anymore since Nitter was sued and I use another one, very rarely
>>35053476my bad for assuming that, this isn't really about being offline or not, it's more about the environment you grew up in and the people you've previously surrounded yourself with
>>35053483It's ok!! I didn't grow up with a lot of internet, just enough for me to discover this board and other websites and communities and software
