>>17771405was very chill though, for sure one of the most fun nights i've ever had i think
there was one point where one guy was playing guitar, missed a note, and then when someone made fun of him he started yelling about how if he's so bad at guitar then instead of making fun of him the guy should distract everyone with a better performance like dancing, then through him into a corner and started playing worse on purpose
>>17771522i simplified it down to "i am older therefore socially invincible" and shared the thought with some other people who were shocked at how precisely distilled the wording is. especially since i'm in my back half of my time here i'm going to start trying to living by this motto in general for now i think
i also noticed that initially i was really hesitant too use language that was too friendly because i'd heard from many people, including japanese people, that many can find it really uncomfortable feeling like they're being thrust into someone's inner circle too quickly, but i've found that people seem to be incredibly receptive to it and i think it's largely by the same token that i'm usually older
i've stolen a line roughly equivalent to "i'm a kind senpai" from someone wholesale and it really seems to do wonders for personal relationships
