honestly most of my friends were and are older than me but ive met a ton of great people who are younger than me, like why would i wanna just up and throw that away because of age. Honestly some of the better people I know aren’t 18 yet or just barely past that point

Like by the same token ostracizing people who are under 18 is wrong. It’s one thing to just be uncomfortable with kids and need to take your time but outright being an asshole because you found out your friend on the internet is 16 is bullshit and you’re this just in: a terrible friend.

Yes, stop being friends with them for no good reason and hurt them over circumstances they can’t control because you think being friends with a kid means you have to suddenly be a parent them (news flash, it does not), very good A+, why dont you just stop having friends all together and go back under your rock

that kind of shit turns me into a literal salt mine

its like ok i guess by that logic a student in like elementary school cant be friends with their teacher

oh no i turned 18 and my friend is 16 i guess we have to stop being friends

like can we think about that for a moment lmfao

oops im over 18 and im a babysitter i cant be friends with this 5 year old

One thing i cant stand on this website is the mindset that if someone is over 18 and you are under 18 and friends with them you should immediately be on red alert. . .

Um... no you shouldnt? Since when has a kid being friends with an adult ever been weird or taboo lmao. Its the adult who should be on red alert because the adult has to make the necessary changes to keep the relationship safe for the kid and if you really care about your younger friends you’ll do it. Instilling some kind of weird adultphobia/specific social anxiety in children is literally the exact opposite of being helpful but tumblr.com wants to believe it’s the real webMD. What kids need to watch out for are the people who won’t compromise or be responsible in the situation. Granted it goes both ways, if the adult is doing or saying something that makes them uncomfortable, they should make it known or pull themselves from it if they feel it’s necessary.

But that mindset of over 18? You should only be friends with people over 18 is the most ridiculous crock of shit. You can be friends with whatever age range you want, you just have to be responsible.

Pro tip for adulting: being late isn’t a death sentence for 95% of things. All you gotta do is call the moment you realize you’re gonna be late, apologize, and then give another small apology when you get there. The thing people really don’t like about lateness is that it seems like the other person doesn’t value their time, and since calling shows that you value their time, that leaves only the mild inconvenience of waiting a bit for them to deal with

this is 100% true. Calling ahead to let them know you’ll be late is 100000x better than just showing up late without any notice. Everyone has been late before so most of the time they’ll understand being late. Just don’t make a habit of it

ive met so many people who just expect me to actually just change the way i am for them so they dont have to make any kind of effort for me and it drives me up the damn wall every time

like not even me making changes for my own sake, just literally so they dont have to shoulder any of the weight of trying to make meaningful interactions and im like then why they fuck did you even try to interact with me in the first place tho that doesnt make sense

i wanna reblog that last reblog 500 times but i dont wanna spam people on this blog

phantomdoodler

you can’t act and speak the exact same way with everyone you interact with. that’s just not how human relationships work. and if you refuse to adjust your communication to meet the needs of your conversation partners, that’s not you showing them “tough love” or “the real world,” that’s just you shirking your share of the responsibility for creating mutually rewarding interactions.

I just learned that there’s a man who shops at trader joes in Seattle and buys things in bulk and then transports them up to Vancouver to his own store called “pirate joes” because there are no trader joes in Canada. He’s gotten banned at some trader joes because of this and sometimes has to put on disguises to shop and he even hires people to go shopping for him and it’s like a secret mission. He even has a van that says “grocers without borders” and trader joes has sued him and lost. My favorite part of this is that this whole situation could be easily fixed by trader joes opening a store in Vancouver and hiring him
