    It's a good come-back.

    But laughing at someone and making them feel unimaginably belitteled, over something like whether they've gotten laid, wouldn't have been cool in any scenario.

    "I was molested" just jolts everyone into reconsidering what just happened.

    Yeah, that sucks, especially when you're in high school, and right after.

    But after, when you get out the real world, that shit lessens, and you won't care.

    Shit where do you work man? I need to get me one of those jobs, because, while I just keep to my own life, it seems the same shit goes on, because the assholes never really grow up. They just age. No matter where you go.

    I'm an old man.

    So, believe me when I say you just need to put yourself out there, in social spaces, and meet girls/boys face to face, and just be yourself. Don't put on a false face, a "front." Just be you.

    It helps to go to places, or events, that coincide with your personality type.

    Don't give up, don't take every rejection as a death sentence.

    You can do this.

    My experience after graduating from high school in 07 and college in 11 is that uh... no, the vast majority of odd jobs, part time jobs I worked till getting a 'real' job...

    No, no, the vast majority of basically low wage workers are still mentally in high school, still acting just as immature, still being childish, rude and bullying people, still constantly seeking to create situations of petty drama, still pressuring people into hazing rituals.

    Does not matter how old they are.

    I've seen 45 year old men literally 'flex' on younger coworkers to assert dominance, like literally puff themselves up and flex to appear larger, while arguing with or belittling them.

    Your advice is generally good advice, but it is far from guaranteed to ensure you will not be surrounded by immature buffoons, and ostracized when you do not partake in their foolishness.

    Ah, I was drinking last night, and didn't read the post well enough.

    True, I've been in that work situation, where I didn't fit in, and it was Hell. I got railroaded out of a job at a rural Southern hospital for making friends with a black coworker. I'm a white male. I was "warned" about my new friend by multiple older white coworkers, some department heads. When that didn't work, I was consistently set up to fail by my boss. I thought about taking it to HR, and threatening to contact the ACLU and the NAACP, but I didn't want crosses burning in my yard, so I quit.

    And yeah, some people never make it out of High School. They'll always be teenagers, emotionally.

    I hope you find a job and a group you click with, sincerely. Best of luck.

    Oh I did find such jobs, but then I managed to get asssulted in a mugging, lost my ids and cards and phone, ended up hospitalized, lost my job, got evicted, ended up homeless for about two years.

    On the bright side of that, managed to get SSDI payments and recently set myself up with actual doctors after having to wait for the medicare application window thing, as well as... at least a 6 month lease at a roach motel.

    Now I get to do PT for ... 6 months to a year? And maybe I can walk without a cane again, and use my wrist for more than 20 minutes at a time without it excruciatingly seizing up.

    Any correlation with the people's socioeconomic background?

    It might be taboo to say it, but I was about to mention this. I worked in all kinds of job, and from my experience, jobs that are blue collar or high school educated tend to have these kind of shit stirrers. It is like they are still in school and never grew up. But affluent professions are not immune to having assholes either. The more affluent folks are not into bullying and shaming people, but many of them are snob.

    Do you think someone would go on the Internet and lie?

    And that they'd be so bold as to do it on the famed Christian website 4chan, where telling falsehoods are banned? Breaking a web rule!?

    Rubbish and poppycock!

    You need to take your dumb ass outside and touch something that isn't a fucking waifu pillow. You chose to read a gt and then call it fake and gay.

    That's like complaining that popcorn is salty. Might be the dumbest shit I've read all week.

    Jobs with shitty cultures. Restaurants, bars, places where managers are like in their 20s, the owner and management team are "family", and HR is some random woman in her 50s who chain smokes.

    Once I worked at a office job, everything was so much more chill and drama moved outside High School BS to real adult stuff, like whose doing cocaine on the boss's desk.

    Oddly enough that isn't quite my experience. I went to university immediately after finishing school and was pleasantly surprised at how civilized and mature everyone at university was, compared to just a few months ago at school, even though many of them were still teenagers. It's something about the environment of school that causes so many young people to behave awfully.

  • i suppose a large part of the misery of school is because most people who go there don't actually want to go there, so that sets it up as a place for suffering. which is different for universities, where most people who go there actually want to go there, which improves the climate by many orders of magnitude.

    Something vaguely similar but kinda inverted, happened when I was in middle school.

    An office assistant, like a TA, but for the main office, was dispatched to deliver a packet of course work papers to the class I was in.

    The main office had the main, commercial grade printer in it, and this would have been like... 2004 ish? Computers were basically only in the computer lab, more primitive tech setup.

    So anyway, the OA shows up and delivers the coursework to the teacher... and is confused by the complete silence in the room, the lack of anyone doing anything.

    He remarked '... Did somebody die or something? Jeez' and was now met with many intense, silent stares... he quickly exited.

    Completely unbeknownst to the OA... about 15 minutes prior, our teacher had just recieved an email, took aside one student, talked to him for a few minutes. That student then quickly talked with his friends for about a minute, eyes tearing up, getting several hugs, and then presumably left to the school counselor office.

    His one or two grade older sister had just suffered a complete cardiac arrest in PE, out on the track, about 30-45 minutes prior to the email... and died.

    There is no authority like the authority of great victimhood. It's basically the modern equivalent of the scientific method.

    NGL, this greentext actually made me smile cause I'm a terrible person. Likely not real, but real talk, I love to bring a room to a very dark place as a joke with my friends, though, especially since I deal with a lot of scary topics in psych and politics and usually use it as a way to bring to real topics. Weirdly gets people to open up about their real traumas too, for some reason.

    Plus it's friends, so you know, very different context lol

    I guess the guy who made fun of him that way is the greater cunt of those two. Such a behaviour shouldn't occur in the first place.

    tbf, next time the guy tries to make fun of someone for being a virgin he'll think twice about it because of that interaction, and who knows maybe that will spare a person who actually went though something like that from having to feel awful

    in this situation, despite being in poor taste, the lie could've actually done some good in the long run

    honestly I appreciate the use of this story. it takes guts to say it, true or not, and really no one should be ridiculed for being a virign. there are a lot of real people out there with the same exact story.
