I mean I've done a lot of shit. It's all overrated and I've witnessed bitching on all levels. Like I went away from my home for a long time and when I returned I went to catch up with some old friends and one had become completely caught up on consooming. We fished together a lot as teenagers and would have good time just talking about shit and catching fish. I went with him again after returning and all he did was talk about himself. I found that in several other friends and it was weird. It was like they had become what I had experienced while I was away. So caught up in appearances.

To go on on I stopped spending time with those people because I couldn't be a literal incarnation of social media for them. For a while they blew up my devices with their stuff they wanted to show off, or their accomplishments because when you get things for yourself you want to be told 'good job' right? Why get it for yourself if your looking for validation from another for having gotten it? I think it's something to do with that pavlov conditioning and addiction. Now when I rarely visit social media I see them spamming those things they did for themselves in random pages and blogs trying to get that positive reinforcement. It's how control happens, it's just whatever the individual associates the positive reinforcement with. For some it's money, for others it's 'good job', there are a variety of motivators.
