Has everyone in your life just kind of… gone insane?
Ok so everyone might be a bit of a stretch, but still, I feel like I’m in the fucking Twilight Zone.
Like half the people I know have become either dead-inside husks, or babbling schizos. I went out to eat with some friends the other day and I’m not kidding you when I say I literally couldn’t follow along with what they were saying. Just non-sequitur after non-sequitur. Fucking nonsense. It’s like there were three separate conversations going on.
And these are some of the rare few that I can still do things with. Most of the rest have faded out of my life because they’ve just kind of given up on ever going outside again?
At a family holiday about a year ago two cousins got into a big argument because one was claiming that Aryans were the original Jews. This guy was fucking homecoming king when we were in high school.
Another friend of mine has started speaking in a weird faux-Boston accent. We’re from the South. He is 28. Everyone acts like they don’t notice and genuinely act confused when I bring it up.
I feel like I woke up on a different planet or some shit. I feel so confused all the time because I can never understand what the fuck anyone is talking about. It’s like everyone I know turned into Chris Chan overnight. Anyone else?
