>were there really interesting people in the 90s? The few times I've looked up from playing fortnite I've never met anyone interesting

>>218302234
I was in elementary/middle school in the 90's so my definition of cool was something like
>has a pool
>lets you play their vidya
>nice mom

>>218302234
you need to be interesting to get the attention of interesting people

>>218302262
I went to college and I guess I expected ot to somehow be different from high achool. Like finally I would meet people who had actually read books and had opinions about them, or who had dreams that they were actually passionate about. But it turned out to be just like high school, just a bunch of NPC normies with no strong feelings about anything.

>>218302297

Many institutions of learning actively quash strong feelings

>>218302234
>>218302262
>>218302267
More or less this
>>218302274
I'd say it differently though: if people don't interest you, you'll never be interesting to people. Being genuinely interested in others is what makes them interesting and what makes you interesting in their eyes. I'm not talking about oversharing or stuff like that. If they want to talk sports, fashion, movie stars or whatever be interested in what they say, ask them questions, share some story, reinforce the conversation positively.

Why do 4chan posters act like they are all socially well-adjusted normal people now? It's really annoying.

>>218302297
>>218302234
Is this your idea of what "interesting" people are?
People who read books, parrot what was read. Or people who had such sheltered upbringing they are travelled and can have anything they want.
Real interesting people have struggled, have life experiences, know hardships and how to overcome them. Are opinionated out of necessity of trying to understand their surroundings, not because they read some philosophy book.
Interesting people are often religious, poor, downtrodden..i.e hobos and ascetics who have turned their backs on society.
Not preppy middle to upper class children who know nothing of the world.
Why in the fucking world would you assume children, even adolescent children would ever be interesting.

>>218302428
You've got them thinking they've always been among like minded friends.

>>218302435
>Real interesting people have struggled, have life experiences, know hardships and how to overcome them
Not really. Usually people with difficult lives are miserable and take it out on others. They also usually have nothing interesting to say and just complain about their lives all the time.

>>218302459
You have zero fucking life experience at all.

>>218302475
I have experienced plenty of assholes who think their life is the hardest life of all time because their parents were mean to them and they work a shitty job. Guess what: that's more common than not. Find something else to talk about.

>>218302501
Precisely see, you have no fucking experience with life at all.
I bet you have never even left the vicinity of the small area you grew up around.
Fucking faggot.

You have autism don't you? Diagnosed?

>>218302459
You're right and the other dude is bullshitting the way normies do. Rags to greatness stories exist, but a big proportion of people who pull off interesting shit do so because they had the resources and opportunities to do it. 'Preppy to upper class' children have means of learning how the world operates on a higher level than most lower born people do, even if some are lazy and can coast by to become vapid nothings. The person you're arguing against doesn't care about this and isn't interested in the kinds of things you are.

You would never know how retarded you are, because you are a retard and the bane we, non retards have to put up with dealing with your retardation.
Its clear you are american...the absolute cancer of the internet, infesting us all with retardedness.

>>218302721
The absolute retardation you speak.
So those people are interesting huh.
What a fucking retard.
Life experience makes a person interesting, not having things given to them. You fucking retard.

>>218302435
Upper middle class people like myself are infinitely more interesting than Paco who hopped six borders to work at a carwash in San Diego or a wino bum getting wasted behind Denny's on a Tuesday morning.

>>218302435
>Interesting people are often religious, poor, downtrodden..i.e hobos...
Yeah, hobos are so interesting, most of them are people who just survive to get a fix of the substance their addicted to

>>218303014
Reread the retarded shit your wrote and then rethink what you said...yet you are too retarded for that so carry on with your retardation burger retard...just KYS soon please.

There's a direct quote of your retarded romanticisation of the homeless and mentally ill in my post
Most of those people are that way, because they either are addicted or mentally ill and haven't gotten help/treatment

>>218303177
They are simultaneously always whining about how shitty their life is but also about how their life is somehow more virtuous than everyone else's. It's very exhausting.

>>218303076
>your retardation burger retard
I'd expect a burger to not value erudition and instead only worry about noodling around and roughing it until they 'make it'. People with ambitions beyond that are going to value reading and talking to people who actually know their shit to achieve what they aim at because the best musicians, authors, scientists, activists and explorers understood the value of this. Siddhartha was a prince before becoming a Buddha.

Understand that I'm not shitting on people who are born into situations that require them to knuckle up, work hard and learn how shit really works at the most practical level, that's respectable and can't simply be book learned. But you seem to be doing the opposite and acting like this is the only authentic way someone can live and that any other kind of life is bullshit that means shit to you, even if it results in far more.

>>218302234
There's still interesting people just around and picrel certainly aren't a depiction of them

>>218302234
probably because you are close to being a mental retard where your only interests are video games and fapping to anime loli porn alone in your apartment. cant really expect interesting people to line themselves up outside your room to chat with you.

>>218303434
I dont admire anyone, because I am not a brown retard like you.
"admire someone"
You are american so you admire negros and trannys so STFU

>>218303489
When I say admire, I mean "respect the achievements of", not "want to act like a bootlicking dog to" if that's the only sense you can imagine. You have no understanding of what people who came before you have given you and take shit for granted while acting like you know better.

>>218303448

>>218303239
>burger to not value erudition
They are retards, its in their social makeup they admire wealth and the pursuit of it.
their negros literally idolize the trash linen of the currency in of itself (I think their currency may be actual paper rather than linen) rather than the pleasure from the material gains the currency could buy and the average mutt just admires the status and trivial material things the currency can bring.
Well that and trivial sensory pleasures.
They are not interesting in the slightest.
Ironically that chris mcandles guy who they made a movie about only because interesting, had an interesting life and story to tell (post mortem) because he abandoned such trivial pursuits.
Like you mention of Buddha, he only became interesting after realizing liberation, after becoming an ascetic. Even his asceticism isn't interesting other than a day minus zero story and warning of the extremes of self mortification.
Diogenes is an interesting person because of his asceticism.

Getting embroiled in trivial shit like societies functions, politics even cookie cutter philosophy (like reading and reiterating philosophers of old) does not make one an interesting person.
What makes one interesting is thought, varied thought about life/reality and life experience which comes through a varied lifestyle.

A retard like retards above who live in the same town, in the same bedrooms they grew up with, having world views based around 2-3 handful of people they know, none of which they know well, does not make them interesting people.

>>218303643
>"respect the achievements of
There is only 1 achievement to respect and that is freeing oneself from this prison. So Buddha and followers of the Buddha (sangha) who have attained liberation.
Everything else is petty.
Sure leonardo da vinci was a great painter, inventor but all his shit means nothing and will (is) nothing that will cease to exists.
If you have some retard (like you I guess) who chase after trivial shit, like a child building a sand castle on a beach, not realizing the tide will come in and wash it away...you are not interesting and I am not interested in your retarded shit.

>>218303643

england did not invent any of that

>>218304120
No matter what answer I give, because you are an ESL, you cannot understand english and will continue being a retard because you can't understand what is written.
I am not sitting here teaching english to ESLs perdro
Go back to school and fuck off.
FYI hobos are interesting and much more fucking interesting than ESL retards like you

How can I get BTFO...I am just replying to a complete retard who doesn't even understand the topic of the thread. I won by default.
My original comment is irrefutable.

By default anyone here gets a 0 respect.
Soon after posting you show you are american
-1.
By default being american is being a mutt, so -2, then by shitposting more you show you are also an ESL, -3
You blown yourself out by being a brown ESL double retard...There is no winning anything for you.
Maybe a darwin award if the world is that lucky.

It's more that in the past we were all competing for weaponized attention grabbing devices. You'd have a few drinks and talk to someone about stuff and then go do an activity and talk about that. Your alternative to that was watching TV or reading, maybe do a hobby. Now everyone had a phone that allows them to basically find whatever will make them addicted to fiddling with it.

>>218304983
All objective data agrees with me, dem programz have made it so it's practically impossible to avoid having a functional and productive life unless you're REALLY committed to being a loser.
>You cannot build a house on sand.
I agree, losers lack the foundational stability required to move attention away from oneself and toward observing the world around them, that's why they rarely develop past the mental age of 14

Gen-Xers were like "oh god we're so interesting we're the most free thinking generation ever" and then you meet one irl and it's the total opposite

>>218305004
I'm just quoting your words and you still haven't been able to articulate what you'd meant by those words. You know you've written something stupid and only thing you're capable of is coming back to the same

See you have no understanding of reality. Literally. Its beyond your mental comprehension.
What do you think life would be like for a child who had an "upbringing of sand"
No parents or stability, so lack any sort of fundamental upbringing (the rock instead of sand)
Who then at a young age are forced with homelessness or wage life, where we live in societal systems of education (well papers gained from said education) is the detrimental factor of escaping poverty.

You are too retarded, but maybe look at something called the poverty cycle.
Something called outrospection
Maybe you could see life from the suffering of others, but lets face it with the retarded shit you just typed...it's beyond you.
You are too low INT to ever be able to comprehend any such things in life.
Ironic, never will be an interesting person.

Myth based on the false presupposition that retarded unproductive people should magically become smart productive people, that's why income is a very poor predictor of life success and IQ is a very good predictor.

>>218302234
people had things to talk about because you couldn't just google stuff and you would pass the time by talking and finding out interesting stuff, that might just be local gossip and rumors but everywhere had it's own lore. People were more creative because media was much more confined to a handful of tv channels, magazines and CDs you could buy in stores.

It was such a different time, if you were born during the iphone era you really couldn't understand it

I don't know that I'd describe any of us as interesting, but that time was an interesting nexus of freedom and plenty, usually expressing itself in art. We inherited indie music and indie film from Echo Boomers and created a couple good decades of fun with it. Then Bush the Lesser came along and destroyed the conditions which allowed that kind of creativity to flourish, to say nothing of the socially stunting and retarding technologies of fast food, computers, and video games which were the larger culprits in breeding Millennial vermin like this shitstain: >>218305187
