Some stupid meme will appear in my head while I’m in public and a stupid grin will force itself into my face and obviously I don’t want people to look at me and think I’m crazy, or worse ask what I’m laughing about and the only thing that was on my mind was “born to shit, forced to wipe”.

    I have a secret for you.

    Whenever you let out one of those little laughs in public, EVERYONE in earshot is wondering if you were laughing at them and is subtly checking if it was them or someone else worth laughing at.

    In those moments, your the last thing on people’s minds.

    Lobotomy.

    Honestly I have no fucking clue. I do the same thing. Especially bad if I think about something that can cause a laughing fit and then I have to explain a voice clip a friend sent to me.

    Most people generally won’t care though. They’ll look over and maybe go “Huh” before they carry on.

    You’d be amazed just how little people actually think about anyone other than themselves.

      I can relate as someone who realized they’re actually more interested in the Humanities after choosing a STEM preparatory course. Then I remembered that the reason why I chose STEM is because my country doesn’t give a shit about professions other than being a lawyer, doctor, or engineer.

        I did the same but music was my original thought. But then I wasn’t sure what I’d do with a music degree.

        Overall, I’m not disappointed with my education. But I’d stop at a MSc if I had to redo it.

    Wear earbuds and just start talking to yourself, if someone interrupts you, just say you are talking on your phone, and point at your earbuds. Congrats, now you make someone else feel awkward 😎

    Yeah, OP. If you still find a way randomly smile during the day, don’t lose that. This is the brain working as intended.

    Don’t stop. Use it as a litmus test. If they don’t get it, they don’t deserve your company. Yes even at funerals.

    Here’s what you do.

    Just think about the fact that you don’t control your destiny. You’re a wage slave. Doing whatever is told to you. You’re going to die alone, and the only friends you have are only your friends because they are afraid of not having friends. The world is a dark and miserable place, and during the cold war America straight up lost 53 atomic bombs. Presumed to be in the oceans. Nobody knows their condition. Nobody knows if they are a threat to explode at any time.

    On top of that, the soviet union lost an unknown number of nukes during that same time. Whereas the united states says they’re pretty sure they lost them in the ocean, the soviet union makes no such claims. That means it’s possible they dropped it from a plane, and it didn’t explode. Maybe they were stolen from storage, and sold to whomever. No regulation needed.

    So now, instead of laughing at some meme, you can have a look of dread and uncertainty on your face. Like you’re holding back tears. And THEN you’ll fit right in with todays soul crushing society.
