to add on, just imagine this:

you go for dinner with your gf, on the way you run into her duo of friends, naturally they tag along.

you get your meal, sit down in a jolly group of 4 and they proceed to talk about their own 'in-topics' that i don't get and bore the hell out of me.

when we talk about common topics like school, one of them ALWAYS monopolises the conversation. when you try to disagree with her she shuts you down and it gets so awkward i've stopped disagreeing but just keep smiling and act like i'm interested in her stories.

the other one is in school just to get the piece of paper that's a degree and that's something that really clashes with what i believe in ie. that college is really about learning stuff you're passionate about. it's like a fundamental clash of values.

and this happens on a regular basis like say 2-3 times a week.

and tomorrow they're both heading to my gf's house for god knows how long.
