I'd love to live in my immediate world only.
Like in 1982 or something.

Diaries, landlines, calendars, newspapers only. Postcards, letters and a paper savings book.

Discos, phone boxes, great TV.

I totally agree with you, people suck and most of them are fuckwits. I'm happy being around animals and my family. Luckily I work remotely so I can go months without having to interact in person with someone outside of my household and its lovely.

Some days I want to wear a big old spikey coat like Beetlejuice... 😄

I often joke to dh that I want to live in a (warm) cave. Except it's not really a joke.

Really?!!

Is this some sort of joke thread?

I love people. They are fascinating. I love people-watching and i love talking to people. Everyone is interesting.

I'm an old person though. Is this what technology has done?! Or are you all old as well?

Yeah me too! I'm sort of already doing it as much as I can but can't completely avoid people 100%. I hate the world. It's completely messed up! And I hate the world for turning me into a cynical person because of everything I've seen. I only now interact with people as necessary and I'm happier for it. Each time I try to do the opposite, I'm reminded why I don't anymore.

I am with you!

I've finally kicked out my using, tight arse, lazy, disrespectful uncle after being rinsed for 7 months so I 100% concur with you. I'm done with people.

OAPapparently · 09/11/2024 14:16

100% agree.
Apart from my DC I would happily not interact with people face to face ever again. The modern world is turning people into monsters.

Great thread title. I want to do this too.

EliflurtleAndTheInfiniteMadness · 09/11/2024 14:12

I want to runaway from everyone and everything, except my kids. Sounds sensible to me.
