Misleading and overly jocular.

It has been 11,182 days since it began.

The... they kept coming, and joining... and the seasons lost their familiarity... their very meaning... it became just a blurring vortex, an intensifying torrent of ever increasing ignorance and rage.

I ... can barely remember now, what it was like before...

11,182 days ... of September.

This is not a normal kind of human interaction, on the girl's part.

It very strongly indicates she is a spoiled brat, a narcissist.

If you think this kind of interaction is normal... well I see two possible explanations:

You are also a narcissist and that's why you think this is normal.

OR

You are surrounded by narcissists who have gaslit you into thinking this is normal, and you haven't had too many regular interactions with non narcissists.

Also, I don't see anywhere near as many total upvotes for 'she's into you dude, frost that cupcake!' as I do for 'this is the biggest red flag imaginable, let me write a short essay explaining why'

In fact, yeah, I don't see a single comment advocating the anon dive into her... affairs, over this.

There is a very fitting song for this.

Garbage - Stupid Girl

Stupid Girl Lyrics

[Verse 1]

You pretend you're high

Pretend you're bored

Pretend you're anything

Just to be adored

And what you need

Is what you get

[Pre-Chorus]

Don't believe in fear

Don't believe in faith

Don't believe in anything

That you can't break

[Chorus]

You stupid girl (Ah)

You stupid girl (Ah)

All you had, you wasted (Ah)

All you had, you wasted (Ah)

[Verse 2]

What drives you on (Drives you on)

Can drive you mad (Drive you mad)

A million lies to sell yourself

Is all you ever had

[Pre-Chorus]

Don't believe in love

Don't believe in hate

Don't believe in anything

That you can't waste

[Chorus]

You stupid girl (Ah)

You stupid girl (Ah)

Can't believe you fake it (Ah)

Can't believe you fake it (Ah)

[Instrumental Break]

[Pre-Chorus]

Don't believe in fear

Don't believe in pain

Don't believe in anyone

That you can't tame

Basically, if this is a representative sample of this girl's personality ...

(huge if there, this is a single 4chan post lol)

... then she is a textbook narcissist, potentially to the point of being diagnosable with NPD if she doesn't grow out of this attitude, get a reality check that actually sinks into the subconscious.

A spoiled, pampered brat whose never been told no, who never gets any real, meaningful interaction or validation, and tries to fill that void with a grandiose self image, absurd overconfidence and privelege.

Angelica from Rugrats.

...And my take here would be the same if the genders/sexes were reversed, or some other combo.

It is pretty not normal for anybody to have that kind of interaction with anybody else, to just boisterously state they could have 'insert random person', then have rando anon just flatly reply 'sorry not interested', ... and then throw a giant hissy fit.

I am seriously hoping this interaction occures between 12 or 14 year olds, but looking at the horror kaleidoscope that is social media these days?

Yeah, could be anybody, any age, at this point.

Well, I would, but:

gestures at leg and wrist in braces, cane, utter state of poverty, lack of public transit in a low CoL city I can qualify to rent at with SSDI as my only income

Beans for you.

Oh I did find such jobs, but then I managed to get asssulted in a mugging, lost my ids and cards and phone, ended up hospitalized, lost my job, got evicted, ended up homeless for about two years.

On the bright side of that, managed to get SSDI payments and recently set myself up with actual doctors after having to wait for the medicare application window thing, as well as... at least a 6 month lease at a roach motel.

Now I get to do PT for ... 6 months to a year? And maybe I can walk without a cane again, and use my wrist for more than 20 minutes at a time without it excruciatingly seizing up.

... Or the motel knows how prostitution works, and wants their cut, and has worked this arrangement out before hand.

My experience after graduating from high school in 07 and college in 11 is that uh... no, the vast majority of odd jobs, part time jobs I worked till getting a 'real' job...

No, no, the vast majority of basically low wage workers are still mentally in high school, still acting just as immature, still being childish, rude and bullying people, still constantly seeking to create situations of petty drama, still pressuring people into hazing rituals.

Does not matter how old they are.

I've seen 45 year old men literally 'flex' on younger coworkers to assert dominance, like literally puff themselves up and flex to appear larger, while arguing with or belittling them.

Your advice is generally good advice, but it is far from guaranteed to ensure you will not be surrounded by immature buffoons, and ostracized when you do not partake in their foolishness.

Something vaguely similar but kinda inverted, happened when I was in middle school.

An office assistant, like a TA, but for the main office, was dispatched to deliver a packet of course work papers to the class I was in.

The main office had the main, commercial grade printer in it, and this would have been like... 2004 ish? Computers were basically only in the computer lab, more primitive tech setup.

So anyway, the OA shows up and delivers the coursework to the teacher... and is confused by the complete silence in the room, the lack of anyone doing anything.

He remarked '... Did somebody die or something? Jeez' and was now met with many intense, silent stares... he quickly exited.

Completely unbeknownst to the OA... about 15 minutes prior, our teacher had just recieved an email, took aside one student, talked to him for a few minutes. That student then quickly talked with his friends for about a minute, eyes tearing up, getting several hugs, and then presumably left to the school counselor office.

His one or two grade older sister had just suffered a complete cardiac arrest in PE, out on the track, about 30-45 minutes prior to the email... and died.

I literally had this scenario play out when I was pre-school age, in a day care due to parents having nonsense work schedule, no bus service to pre-school.

It was 'nap time' and I sat in my little floor mat spot... with a book, reading it.

Had multiple staff come over and tell me that 'You can't read, you're lying, you're just flipping the pages to be bothersome.'

... By the time I was in second grade, I read so well and so routinely finished my classwork rapidly, that the school would assign me to 4th and 5th graders who were behind on their reading skills, and we'd sit outside of the classroom in the hallway, and I'd help them read through short kids books, help them pronounce words, define them.
