      Do you guys really start convos like “I just watched X doc and I thought it was neat. I was wondering, if it’s not too much of an imposition, may I tell you about it?”

      Honestly I think it’s just a “I don’t vibe with people who need that” sort of thing, I like friends that let me be excited without begging permission, and I would gladly do the same for them.

        absolutely i have both started conversations like that and had friends start conversations like that, specifically about the video game expedition 33 and specifically because of a concern about spoiling the media

          Tbh I hadn’t considered spoilers and imo that kinda makes sense, but outside of that context I think I just need a different communication style. I’d never feel comfortable around people if I had to do that for convos about anything other than spoilers.

          And I guess spoilers really don’t hit as hard with documentaries, which I never really considered until this comment.
