      I do that shit as an adult STILL lmao

      My older brother tells me like "why don't you go outside and make some friends?" and I'm bitch where? It's just houses for miles and everyone mid 20's has bounced out of this shithole

      I mean this is just the result of growing up in a suburb

        My older brother tells me like “why don’t you go outside and make some friends?”

        I'm so fucking tired of hearing that exact phrase from billions of normie fuck-wits. THERE IS LITERALLY NOWHERE TO GO WHERE I'M GONNA FUCKING MEET PEOPLE. And yet everyone talks to me like aLl yOu GoTtA dO iS gO oUtSiDe aNd yOu'LL mAkE fRiEnDs.

        The only god damn people I encounter when I go for a walk are middle-aged people walking their dogs, and even when I pass by young people it's not like they're gonna stand around and talk to every stranger they walk past on the street when they're probably just trying to go somewhere or enjoy a nice walk to clear their heads like me.

      Same. My entire four years in high school, I had a friend come over or went over to a friend's place probably a half dozen times, it was just such a huge pain in the ass to go anywhere and have a plan to get back.

      In middle school I was in walking distance to every place worth going, and I "played outside" just about every day. Suburbs are cancer.

        I lived in a town that didn't build any major roads for decades, so the whole town was like 7000 people on a single 5-6 mile long stretch of highway, with a few side streets going 1 block deep.

        And no sidewalks at all. And the 2 lane highway had no shoulders.

        So you literally had to walk 4 or 5 miles through tall grass, rocks, maybe sprint through little bits of road and hope you don't get run over, to get to anything without a car.

        There was also literally zero public transport. None.
