Fake teacher friend

Early 20s is a horrible time for most. I really think your 20s period are. Getting yourself established, having to face whatever fucked up shit you had gone through growing up, trying to be at a descent job, finding someone if you're lucky. It sucks and is not like Friends or any other fantasy bullshit.

My darkest years were between 19 and 22. During these years I knew and thought I was friends with one of my teachers.

She was a pseudo intellectual. The type who was snotty and judgemental, and I wanted her approval. She had an option on everyone and I wanted to somehow be the one person exempt from it.

The group of people we were around were miserable. A bunch of people old enough to be my parents who thought their alcoholism was okay since it was with wine and artsy shit, and these were the types who thought only they knew basic bitch pop culture stuff like early South Park or Back to the Future.

I'd feel terrible around this "friend" and her crownies. I only was there because I had nothing else at that time. It was the closest thing I had to friends or connection with people.

They'd ignore me unless it was to make fake comments about how nice I supposedly was, like I was some sort of mascot. I'd also get shit and be the butt of the joke for how much younger than them I was. They varied from treating me like a mascot to an antisocial freak.

If I attempted to speak it'd usually be brushed off, of they'd acknowledge my comment to another person. Like if I were to say something, they'd then look at the next person and continue the conversation with them, even tho they weren't even talking.

You're supposed to get older and better understand things. All I see is how miserable and fake these fucks were. All they did was carryout superficial conversation. None of them were really friends. They were all bordering on alcoholism. They also all acted wealthy, bitch, you didn't even make 30,000 a year teaching don't act like you were wealthy.

So yeah. These people suck. I felt horrible. They were the last of me ever attempting friends with shitheads like this.
