Don't expect others more than you expect from yourself.
No, I dress "normal" if that's what you're asking.
It wasn't the dress so much as their self absorbed attitude. I could barely get a word in because they'd get so excited about talking about whatever it happened to be and I was barely able to weasel my way out of there because they wanted to tell me every little thing about the games they've played.
I worked in a videogame store, and met plenty of socially awkward individuals like that.
Shit, I'm just lookin' for a few people to play Halo every now and then. I'm so busy with work and other things I don't invest the time into certain games like these 2 guys were talkin' about.
"Yoooo, duuuude, ever play final fantasy? Yo, when you're on adderall you completely lose track of time, like time doesn't even exist. I played that game for 2 days straight, I even forgot to eat."
This kid still lives with his mom and stepdad, doesn't have a phone or even his own e-mail address.
In fact, my girlfriend said pretty much what you just said. Most guys my age play videogames, so I should probably just find "normal" people to hang out with, and the rest will probably come along with it.
