Am I the unique Gen Z if I dislike TikTok and prefer the 2000s technology trends like retro consoles, CRTs, and CD/DVDs?

you should watch FilthyFrank’s “Born in the Wronf Generation” video and understand why there is fallacy in trying to live in a period that no longer exists. You may be a victim of circumstance, but by not taking advantage of this as an opportunity to learn and grow so that you may move on, you are severely disadvantaging yourself

I don’t like anything and I’m generally a nihilist and antihumanist so I basically just do what is most enjoyable in the present moment. I don’t like TikTok and Instagram and Facebook, X, Reddit, Quora, the state of immigration and democracy in the USA and in many parts of the world. I don’t like my face, body, personality, interests, hobbies, passions, intelligence, ignorance, lack of relationships, social ineptitude, financial insignificance, disabilities, porn and masturbation addiction.

You have to remember that just because you are currently more fascinated in retro early 2000s trends, doesn’t mean that is something you will like forever. Many modern tech is designed after retro tech and will continue to be for a long time.

Hi everybody! I have been looking at posts on narcs and narc abuse on here and if has really helped me out a lot. I am currently struggling with my situation and need some advice/support. I met a narc last year, everything seemed to good to be true. Love bombing, always texting calling and taking me on dates. Everything changed when someone warned me about him out in public in front of him and who he is. This caused a conflict with us and the love bombing seized. he would tell me that everything is okay and i can come and talk. He would set a time limit on me and kick me out after that. he would then text me like everything was fine and we hung out again and after that he completely ghosted me for one week. He came back and texted me a week later laughing about the ghosting and acting like nothing had happened. he continued to text me ( not like in the beginning) make plans with me, then on the day of the plans he would just ghost me. One day he would act interested the next silence. i contacted him a month later and he acted like nothing happened. He was on a vacation and sent me a picture of another woman ( someone he allegedly met on the trip) to strike a reaction but i never gave him one. After the trip he came to my place and was extremely rude, accusing me of going on dates with a bunch of men. The next day he accused me of being an alcoholic and that he wanted nothing to do with me but said well maybe we can be "friends" then ghosted me i assumed at this point it was over and i would never hear from him again. He contacted me on the holiday a month later acting like everything was great. We ended up hanging out a month or so later and when we hung out it went well, i thought things were going in the right direction. after we hung out.. silence. I would try to text him and if he replied it would be very short then he just stopped replying. He ghosted me for almost three months. I thought he was done this time and of course he popped up again like nothing happened. At this point i was getting sick of if so i questioned him as to why he dissapeared and always does this. Of course he had some sob story about a injury and family member dying of cancer. I felt pity for him and he gave me an apology.. so i took him back stupidly. things seemed to be going smooth for a couple months, of course until his family member died and his injury got better he never contacted me and was distant. Menawhile, i was there for him during the difficult time for him. He lied to me about the funeral and never wanted to chat. I was chasing him and he would always claim nothing was wrong but when i said i thought he used me when he was down he could not handle it and would always tell me he didnt care and to go away. I would get so upset i would try texting him to work it out he would barelt respond and if he did he would not be nice about it. we did hang out a couple times after that, he would ignore me after. One day i was like hey i think you are seeing someone else, and i was like well ixam seeing someone so no problem if you are he said " buy bye good luck with your new guy stop contacting me" i was devastated and tried to get into contact with him for weeks then i just gave up and accepted it was over. He ended up contacting me a month later acting like everything was fine. He wanted to go out and have drinks i told him i would. He and i both seemed to have a great time. He ends up ignoring me again. I kept texting him trying to figure out what was wrong. He kept saying everything was fine and i said ok can we hang out again? He said maybe i was like why? He just kept saying maybe … our last conversation we had… i said what is wrong ? He said nothing is wrong everything is fine. I asked him why he keeps saying maybe. He said " maybe but i dont want to see you right now" i said why? He saix " im just not feeling it, if i wanted to date i would" i said why did you contact me less then a week ago wanting to go out? He said i didnt.. even though he did. So i said should i just move on or what? He said whatever you want to do. So i said that he was really confusing me and asked him if he had anything more to say before i move on? My messages were turning green so i panicked he blocked me and reacted irrationally. I said " omg did you block me? My messages are not going through. Even texted him on my work phone asking what was up. And called him twice ( please dont judge me i know it is pathetic i never was this type of girl before him) so he replied and said " Ok I'll block you now" then immedietly blocked me. He has never blocked me before since I have met him he will just ghost. Is this ths final discard aka " grand finale? Did i just push him too far? this has upset me so much its hard to even function.

what are you going to do when asked to use modern tech to merge files and compress them into a file library and all you know is how to put a CD into a cd player?

To be completely honest, the last thing I enjoyed that pervades time is music. Not just new or old, but all in between.

Nothing wrong with enjoying something, but seriously liking something like that to the point where it takes over your life is unhealthy and you probably need to have a hemispherectomy and prescription of lithium and every antidepressant in existent.

Why am I so wanting to suck a penis?

Well, considering there are people today who like the 298,000BCE technology of sexual intercourse, I imagine enjoying something from earlier in the century is not that unique. If you disliked modern building techniques and decided to live in a mud thatch or in a foxhole, that would be unique.

Or if you preferred bloodletting and cult rituals instead of modern medicine, that would be unique.
