I'm 32 btw, and I don't consider myself "old" like millennials often exaggerate....32 is still young, but time creeps along for all people and there is one thing that when I see it, it makes me have sort of an odd dread feeling.
People will post memes of like "this show is now X amount of years old...feel old yet?"
And that stuff never does. But the one thing that makes me go "that can't be right....that must be a glitch...it can't be that old" is those rare times I come across a Youtube video that was uploaded near the beginning, like a video from 2007 or something and the video will say "uploaded 15 years ago, or 16 years ago"
That one hits me in the gut every time. I remember in middle school Youtube being a new thing and it doesn't feel like the type of thing that is half my lifetime ago..It feels such a modern, part of this crap society that when I stumble across videos that were 16 years ago....I don't know...it gives me a similar feeling like when you watch a black mirror episode...there's something dystopian feeling about it.
That sounds awful. I don't know if it's that way in America because I'm basically a misanthropic hermit anymore. I don't have any social connections other than my parents...literally. I don't even connect with people or have social connections online, because I've just got anxiety about connecting with people. I interact with posts and comments on this site, but that's the extent of it. I don't go deeper with people, but I don't want to either...it's just how I am at least right now.
If that's the feel of Australia right now, that is ridiculously retarded and I'm sorry you're surrounded by retards.
