Hanging out with people who aren’t on X is exhausting. They’re always behind on what’s happening, and every conversation feels like a briefing session. You end up explaining memes, niche cultural references, or breaking news from days ago. It’s like trying to summarize the entire timeline in real-time while they’re still catching up on last week’s headlines. It drives me insane, and it’s hard for me to control my emotions, so sometimes I just checkout. Otherwise… You go into rapid-fire mode, dropping information, connecting dots, spitting out references, only to realize you’ve completely lost them. You feel like some kind of conspiracy theorist and they just stare at you, trying to figure out what they missed. Meanwhile you know you are right, and they will learn this in time. Worse is that you have to control yourself… You have to halt your thoughts, backpedal, and soften everything so you don’t come off as rude or overwhelming. It’s not even their fault, they’re just on a different wavelength. It’s hard man, real hard….. Feel like you ate an old school professor, or a news anchor of the past, or a modern philosopher. Right? Anyone else……
