Closed off adults

When I was in my 20s I was in lots of situations where the adults closed themselves off from me and then flipped it around on me like I was the problem.

These fucks would always act like I was saying the wrong thing. If I would talk I'd be brushed off, then if I didn't I'd be looked at like I was some anti social weirdo.

This happened in a group I was in, as well as at jobs. The thing is these fucks who were old enough to be my parents were 100X less mature than I ever was. They would be sitting there talking about booze and sex.

The worst. THE WORST fucking thing they'd do would be when they'd talk about pop culture. Acted like no one but them knew basic bitch ass things like The Princess Bride or Back to the Future. Then I'd be given shit for not knowing something, then I'd respond with more knowledge than they had about whatever and theyd just brush it off.

My whole reason for this is how I don't get it. I never thought me and these people would have been lifelong best friends, or go out for drinks. But goddammit, they could have been more inclusive. Like I remember at my first job there were people who had kids who were older than me, these people still talked to me and the others like we were people. They didn't shun me out while behaving like 60 year old high schoolers.

My 20s are over. I'm sure these fucks who I dealt with continued to do nothing. All miserable drunks who looked like shit, and I'm sure more years of alcohol abuse didn't help them any.
