is it me or everyone on the street is a bot?

5 posts in this topic

When I walk outside all I see are people full of meaningless tattoos and piercings wearing the same style of clothes walking while using their phones. 

9 out of 10 girls I approach have a boring job, go to university to study something without passion, go to the gym 3 times a week and only think about having fun. The same seems to happen to man although I suspect men are slightly more original.

It's impossible to talk about a sensitive topic like politics because they get triggered and start parroting whatever ideology they subscribe to.

Occasionally I meet people who do different activities and feel more original.

I've observed this recently and even got slightly worried, is it me that I'm becoming a hermit or 90% of people are just NPCs?

maybe both?.

 

I'm 30 yo, don't use social networks, don't have any tattoo or piercing and girls look at me like I'm the NPC

It depends on where you live.

I'm ok with tattoos and piercings (septum piercings are hot).

Liberal cities have more interesting, conscious people. But in the US cities are so expensive now, so that is changing and making way for tech and medical professionals.

I don't know what an NPC is but be careful with isolating, you can get depressed, lose social skills, etc.

I tend to get along with other meditators, people who like spending time in nature, activists, and artists. I don't expect others to be into spiritual development so there has to be some level of acceptance that others aren't into the shit I care about most

Everyone on the street has 1 second of interaction with you, and is shaped by their culture, society and shared interactions so there is crossover.
Jobs are rarely entertaining.
People don't often go into deep conversations with strangers, women especially, unless you create a safe space they can.
If originality is uniqueness to you, travel, but don't settle else you'll be in the same pattern.

Advice:
The mundane small moments with the right people are more precious than anything that can interest your mind intellecually.
Don't look skin deep. People's personal story is rarely simple and often full of nuance if you take the time.

Oh and if you want some tips to get to this point.

Be the one who sets the space for things to be more than surface convos. Take the chance on strangers. Some will ignore you, some will talk, and some will share interesting things that'll shape you. But in my experience, you need to be the ones to go there first with people, and be known as the chatty one, or personable person as everyone else's head is in the screen, and with the current generation, their social image is more important than who they actually are. - Its the 80s all over again.

So be the guy who ain't judging, supports strangers, asks how their lifes going and learn a few things. From the young and old. But it'll start by appreciating the everyday details a bit more. (And BTW what triggers you, about listening to an ideology. That should be an easy segway into anything, its like they've given you a door and easy navigation into their inner world)
