My observations after 2 years at a UK university.
almost every NT person here
- drinks excessively. If you dont get drunk at nightclubs every weekend like a degenerate you are seen as some sort of weirdo, particularly in a university setting.
- has their head buried in their phone and wears earphones. sometimes i like to stare out the window when i'm on the bus. no music or technology. but people think i'm weird because I dont have headphones in and i'm not looking at the newest Facebook pictures of Becky's trip to Magaluf from this weekend. 10-15 years ago in movies this behaviour was seen as "nerdy" but now you are immediately looked at as a freak if you dont live in internet land in 2019.
- lost their virginity before 17. Even if any of us do ascend the likelihood of the girl cucking you because you were a late starter is enormous, as girls are massively turned off by the idea of being a guy's first. normal well adjusted men and women are losing their virginity in secondary school.
- is a member of a sports or performance team. It is very easy to get on a team even as an unathletic kid in my college because they literally expect every single person to wear a sports/society-based sweater on campus. they will create a new sport or performing art if enough people (usually girls) complain about it.. i see 110lb pajeets with golf and table tennis sweaters, and enormous fat girls who are apparently members of various dancing groups. even if you are not interested in competitive sports, you are expected to magically find some activity really interesting and join a club based on it, or you stand out as the freak who doesnt belong to a club.
- goes to dumb arts events. they show numerous movies, usually either old crappy black and white movies or the newest capeshit, in the cinema on the campus and if you dont watch this drivel you are seen as a failure. how grown men can spend 2 hours watching marvel in a crowded theatre baffles me but it is just one of the things people have to do if they want to be seen as normal.
- takes time out of the school term to go to London or some nearby big city, sometimes even abroad. when i had to work in groups for an assessment people would just leave inexplicably for a week and then come back. i would ask why they went and they would just say "i dunno just felt like it br0". skipping classes is not even seen as a sign of laziness, it is celebrated. people literally see no problem in shirking responsibility and just forgetting about work because they know i will do their part since i want a good grade.
these are just some of the things everyone is expected to do here. I don't feel like doing any of it and this is just one of the many reasons i feel alone so often (the main reason being my face of course).
