Was like you similarly as a senior now reflecting. The transition is quite surreal but realize most of these people have been sheltered all their life and have no real world experience outside of their rich affluent bubble ie( living in UES,CT,  or PEA, etc) nothing wrong with that but these people conduct in life in a complete different way than most of us from a normal upbringing can understand. OP wish you the best but just stay focused on staying  true to yourself and not let these people change you. Got lost in the sauce trying to fit in with them but ultimately said fuck them and did me. Cheers best of luck with your journey.

 

What do you think being an introvert or extrovert means?

"If you always put limits on everything you do, physical or anything else, it will spread into your work and into your life. There are no limits. There are only plateaus, and you must not stay there, you must go beyond them." - Bruce Lee
 

Realizing how different the Upper Middle Class/Lower ends of the Upper class, are to the regular day to day individual that lives in America?  

Get used to it.  Nobody of any power or influence is going to be like the dregs that populated your hometown.

 

"Why are kids at good schools so awkard socially"

You claim to be at a good school, yet can't even spell "awkward."

Isaiah is dumb. Ignore him.

The dude thinks introversion and shyness are the same. He obviously doesn't understand Myers Briggs.

Isiah I'm normally with you but this time you gotta give it to the kid, he probably grew up sub-middle class in Durham/Raleigh and now he's setting into a great environment for the first time in his life. Give the kid some time. He's probably having the time of his life right now.

Why you so pressed 😭

haha I just feel like introverts are labeled as not having confidence or shy, but that’s not always the case.

The older I get the more that I realize that people of all social classes and backgrounds are essentially the same and deep down face the same problems regardless of wealth or lack thereof.

The differences that you are observing are only surface level.

I think this should be settled with 1v1 combat.

Isiah might be super old but he's hella jacked. OP is clearly like 18, but he will have more stamina and be able to dodge attacks for longer.

We will all pitch in for flights to get you guys to Patrick's backyard to make this happen. He already volunteered to ref it.

haha. I'm pretty out of shape right now, but would bet money I could beat this kid in MMA. Unless he is 260lbs 6'8" type of dude. I'm 240, but could cut to 205 to fight. Cutting is half the battle. I started training Muay Thai under Uriah Hall in 2011, which was when OP was 4. Technique is king in Muay Thai and BJJ. I have pretty strong punches, but my low kicks will disable you. I have such a hard low kick to hit the quads that it sounds like a cannon when I hit the heavy bag each time. I have a decent amount of sparring experience, which is very important to prepare for a real sanctioned fight. If OP has no real boxing, Muay Thai, or BJJ instruction, he stands zero chance. Despite what it looks like on TV, MMA is a highly technical sport.

Yeah it's a lot of fun. I used to train when I was a kid. BJJ especially is like chess.
