>tfw the only thing "saving" us from getting instantly wiped out by some cataclysmic event is the miniscule, irrelevant time frame we're existing in

NPCs are people who will almost unconsciously conform to changes in their social environment.
They're swept up in the social current, essentially.

im trying to listen to the audiobook of this on the train but I keep falling asleep and the only thing I really understand is that the razumikin dude wants to fuck the mc's sister

I'll never get the appeal of this book. McCarthy writes like ass.

if you don't show any vulnerability she will not connect to you as a person. she can find you attractive, but won't make a meaningful connection. you can't go around showing any vulnerability, this is weakness. but show vulnerabilities that make you human, show vulnerabilities that show that you care about something. like that you're nervous talking to her, but you felt you need it so you did it. that you love your mom, that you are afraid of something. etc.
own it and move on. there's a fine balance between expressing who you are and showing vulnerability, and being needy asking for compliments and comfort, do not do that. but I recommend reading the book, I don't remember his advice specifically, I only remember that the book was insightful in this subject for me.

Why is it so hard to get my life in order?

Short Story Reading Group #1

This thread will be used to discuss the previously picked story to read for this week:

Babylon Revisted - F. Scott Fitzgerald

http://gutenberg.net.au/fsf/BABYLON-REVISITED.html

https://b-ok.lat/book/4007763/f81e92

Whenever discussion begins to die down, we can start rolling for the next story. I think keeping it unknown as to which story will be read next is better as it makes it a little bit more interesting and exciting, but if enough people disagree maybe we can start doing a calander.

If you have any suggestions as to how this group should operate please mention them, otherwise, get reading
