Normies won't judge your by your lifts but they will judge you by your job, clothes and car
duh
Why would they judge by car?
if you are in shape and good looking that shit puts you in the 10% of people and gives you +8 to all life's stat checks
>>75474655Because they can extrapolate how wealthy you are
>>75474652I earn 80k a year and drive a 2006 shitmobile while some nigger in debt working fast food carmogs and clothesmogs me feelsbadman but I never learned to be a normie and I feel like I would just be faking it if I tried
>>75474659I usually assume people under 50 with nice cars are broke because they're always a loan/lease
>>75474652The people that know me respect me anyway and the people that don't know me don't know my job or what car I drive and most clothes look good on you if you have a decent physique.
>>75474652I have a good job, car, I own my own place and am married. I am in above average shape. I would say I am above average at my job. I have friends outside of work too. But my coworkers don't want to be friends with me, but they're all friends with each other. I've tried to fit in but I don't. They all make plans with each other and never invite me. I am their age as well. Not sure what to do. I try and strike up conversation but they want nothing to do with it. I thought it was me but I asked my friends outside of work and my wife if I do anything wrong with my interpersonal relationships and they said no. Is it me?
>>75474677I have always got on very well with people at old jobs. Still in touch, go for pints, stags, odd training session etc.Latest job full of stuck up twats who spend all morning talking about the tiktok shop and their favourite chinese food (yes, they are white women). They always go quiet when I walk into the room, which is hilarious. Basically yeah, never gonna please everyone mate. Fuck'em
>>75474659Uhhh is that why ghetto streets are littered with 1k per month vehicles?
>>75474652I know this is troll but it's actually an interesting topic. What's especially interesting is the answer is a resounding, No, those things aren't barriers to entry anymore. Everything we think of culturally as having lasted forever (e.g. women not having workplace jobs) only goes back to 1945 post war era. There was huge monoculture that has slowly been eroding away. It's going back to what was the original wetter of pussy, power. Material goods are downstream of that and are trinkets commentating power. In the post war we got so neutered that material goods became the focus themselves. Now that the elites accidentally fucked everything up, they unwittingly freed us from materialism. Getting good, social media presence, social skills, and simply not being a shut in count way more than they used to.
>>75474668Or maybe they have good jobs
>>75474691Nothing you said is true and social media is the most dystopian thing ever
>>75474686Uhhhh I wouldn't have any idea what happens in ghettos
>>75474719>social media is the most dystopian thing ever>I'm 14 and this is deepWhat's dystopian about it? Sharing pictures with your grandmother?
I have a nice career that pays well but I drive a ten year old shitbox, dress in whatever durable clothes I can buy and I try to live as well as I can below my means. Normies have a billion reasons to judge me, what are three more.
>>75474740>groupthink on steroids>mentally ill subcultures that wouldn’t exist without the ability to connect to everyone world wide >cancel culture >everyone now has low self esteem>cyberbullying>up until based Elon bought twitter it was all used by the left to curate who was allowed to speak in society and used to interfere with elections and deplatform candidates>its basically only still popular today for legal child porn on tiktok
>>75474677Here are my 2 cents as someone who has moved a lot, lost and rebuilt their circle of friends and acquaintances or had to reconnect with people who had drifted away over time: sometimes you have to swallow your pride and just invite yourself along. For example, ask about plans for the weekend, establish common ground and then ask if you can come along. Just don't come across as too needy.Got any plans for the weekend? Oh, that sounds cool, been meaning to check that out for a while now. Would it be cool if I joined you guys? Alternatively, you could even just bs and say you already have plans that day and you'll be in the area and just want to drop by. That way they wouldn't get the impression that you're dependend on them.
>>75474652and
>>75474765What an original and lucid thought. Maybe you're right about groupthink on steroids.
