Swifties and Disney Adults aside, the most insufferable people on earth are actually much more common. People who incessantly tell others that they ‘need’ to read some book or whatever because it’s AMAZING and IT’LL CHANGE THEIR LIFE suck far worse.

This also goes for those who are constantly telling others they just gotta listen to some lecture/album, or watch some movie/series, but the book people are the worst. These people think that others need to have the same experiences they do with everything, and it’s fucking annoying. I get it comes up in conversation from time to time, but I’ve known many people who bring it up almost every time I see them. In all honesty, I find them to be egotistical, self-indulgent, and wannabe Ted-Talk lecturers and intellectuals. Enjoy your books, inspirational speakers, movies, plays, etc. and leave me the hell out of it.

    most insufferable people are those who tell others who are the most insufferable people

    Those people would be insufferable if they actually existed

    This is like the miltant vegan: an annoying person that doesn’t exist in large enough quantities that you’d actually encounter them and thus need to give a second thought about

    Damn dude. God forbid someone recommends an album or book that they enjoyed….they’re just trying to suggest something they think you’ll enjoy too lmao

    If the people in your life are telling you to read more books, you should listen to them.

    For me it’s when people can’t take the hint that you don’t want to talk anymore and keep yapping away. Also, when people see you walking away or know you’re 20ft away in a different room but they can’t help themselves and want to small talk but expect you to care enough to stop what you’re doing to come bullshit about nothing in particular.

    Honestly though if you haven’t read 100 years of solitude you are EXTREMELY missing out

    What about the girls who base their entire personalities on horoscopes to justify shitty behavior etc. “I lie so much haha. LIBRA THINGS!!🤪” girl, no.

    I feel like OP just doesn’t like small talk. I can agree on that.

    I’ve gotten that with Disney (“You HAVE to watch this new Disney film, they show off your culture in it!” [while I can just go home and experience my culture, why would I watch a movie to experience my own ethnicity?]), not with swifties. Also with certain gamers who say “You HAVE to try [x]! It’s so good.” I think I’ve gotten it with The Outer Wilds, Risk of Rain (which I couldn’t get into), and SOMA. Idk, with video games, I rather just… play games I find myself than from other people because I don’t think I relate to most people’s tastes, although SOMA’s okay. One game that was really a total miss for me was Balatro which I own because people kept saying I should play it but I don’t enjoy playing at all.

    Hipsters are the worst. Teenagers that act and think they’re mature adults

    20+ year olds who not only listen but idolize
    Rap. 99% of rap is fake. When I see a 40 year old wearing baggy shit, that’s like 40 year olds at an anime convention

    I don’t know man I like people that actually care about things in life. Too many people are indifferent or negative. “Everything sucks” types. This is unpopular I think? Maybe just for me lol
