dudes just love having an old, well aged accessory or clothing item, and then being like "i dont even remember when i got this thing" when actually they could tell you where and when they got it exactly

some of the cutesy, viral mental health "tips" are really culturally specific. Like, "smile at a stranger," or "strike up a conversation." sir i am in eastern europe in a country that has had literally five wars since i've been alive, no one is smiling outside of their home
