being a gecko at Electric Forest

Комедия

I went to the Electric Forest music festival in Rothbury Michigan to talk to people as a gecko.
Those people include a physical therapist on crutches, a woman worried about fitting in socially, a stoner who loves his family, a worker who built a festival library, a recently retired soldier finding happiness, a gift giving wizard, a bartering smoke shop employee, a guy who talks to me about meeting himself, a gambler with a lunchbox full of prizes, and a lot of other people with interesting stuff to say.

    idk why but i felt like Lyle met his match with Liz the wizard, they have a similar aura and i could tell they bounced off each other effortlessly. she even captivated Lyle with her questions even tho he's usually evasive when answering questions back. and the way they both insisted on staying in character too lmaoo loved it

    The first guy was pretty unsufferable...ugh...I cant stand people who answer questions with "So..blah blah blah" psychologically its an act of defiance, these people are narcisists who view it as a power dynamic, the alpha ASKS and the beta ANSWERS. When they answer with "So..." its their way of taking the conversation from you, it does eventually provide the answer you were looking for but its at their leisure and they try to make it sound like that detail was just part of a story they "were already telling" These people grew up hearing their shitty teachers doing this in order to maintain "dominance" over a classroom when questioned by a student...And sadly theyre all so unaware of themselves they dont even know theyre doing it, theyve been conditioned to view questions as a challenge for dominance and answering as a form of submission. The country is very very sick spiritually, mentally etc...
