I only had facebook because it helped with socializing in college/high school, but afterwards it's really hard to want to add new friends because they can see your history, and you can too. -u/chupalaw

15.
Being around people that don’t respect my boundaries and also not communicating my boundaries.

16.
Another COVID variant. -u/KTown-2006

I'm too old for people willfully believing bullshit in spite of iron clad scientific proof to the contrary. I'm too old for people worshiping politicians. I'm too old for people who think googling garbage is "doing research". -u.naugasnake
