I just entered a text message chat from the group of students of my course, and after talking a there over some days with a sophomore (most of the chat was just me interacting) someone said “wow, the freshmen are really getting acquainted, writing shit and what else”. That was so out pocket, closed the app and now I am ranting here, is this still kind of behavior normal in your uni/country? Its so bizarre, the guy was just sophomore. EDIT: thanks everyone for the replies, I appreciate them, I think there’s some grow on my part to be done, because this seems to be way more common than I think. Welp, kinda of a bummer anyway.

    Eh it bothers us too, but as you go through college you’ll realize more and more that unlike grade school you don’t need to care about other people’s opinions. That person is just a dick and make it very obvious, so you know you don’t want to spend time with them. Vs high school where you’re more or less forced into close quarters with them daily.

    I think that’s one of those skills that we adults just pick up slowly, not giving a shit. I remember being your age and being the same way, I was personally very emotional and took things very personally. As I grew up I guess I just learned with experience to not care. It’s a skill we all kind of learn, it’s just not very fun learning it.
