the way they use cutlery, the obsession with ice, the healthcare system, the guns, the bathroom stalls, calling trousers pants, portion sizes, Target, the ubiquitousness of sugar and corn syrup, tipping, the electoral college https://t.co/PrNAli2sRw

main character syndrome. idk how else to explain it. the loudness, the assumption that everyone wants to know your life story, the ‘my way or the highway’. you tend to see others as unfriendly when they’re overwhelmed or feel bombarded by it all.
