I think politics are an important part of our society I just don't want to get into these pointless feuds about them. I haven't met a lot of people who can put passion aside and just have a conversation about it and I just have to not engage in that.
I'm not looking down on people who like pop culture. Its not my thing and it feels like a waste of time because it doesn't further yourself or your community. Its just how I feel. I'm entitled to that. I do have my own things but I do like to focus on things that further myself and things around me. Introspection and community and all that. I just don't understand the appeal is all. I'm not 100% oblivious to celebrity culture. Its just not something I actively seek out.
I also like people you can have discussions with without it getting too heated or hostile, but there's plenty such people out there, if you keep looking.
I wouldn't say pop culture doesen't further the community. As the name sais: It's culture. It's a framework around which people socialise and have common things to talk about. Sometimes that leads to deeper conversations about ethics and morality, and sometimes it's just fun and makes people happy. There's value in that too.
But it's of course fine if you don't engage in it; It's not so much my thing either.
True. I see what you're saying. I think negative life experiences have left me a little jaded and maybe too serious. I find it trivial but that does have value. I can appreciate that. :P
Wow, I'm surprised to see such a reflective and honest reply. You don't get that often on the internet. Thank you :)
I'm sorry for your negative experiences. I hope you still have ways to zone out and have fun.
IIN that I don't keep up with politics, pop culture and find it boring
