they actually use another expression that may not have an equivalent in english but whatever...

looks like it's a "them" problem, not a "me" problem. i don't actively try to be talked about, they do it anyway. they spend their precious time gossiping on me and it should be funny to me. like i should be at a corner , laughing, not writing a post on a platform i've deliberately chosen to be one with very low engagement. such irony...

so it's a "me" problem in the sense that i shouldn't even be writing about it...

what makes me different from some of these people is that i realize i'm an ant on a rock floating in space and i really don't matter in the grand scheme of things so i just do whatever i want. i have no impact and i'm not trying to be someone, either. i don't know, maybe that's radical in its own way.
