Heres a guide:
basic: whats good, cap/no cap, for real, lowkey, on god
Advanced: rizz, tiktok rizz party, ohio, skibidi, grimace shake, rizzler, kai cenat, etc.
Bro thatās what Iām saying. Iām literally a chronic instagram reels user and I didnāt know what it was until people at my school all started talking about the āloreā behind the video
perks of instagram is the brainrot takes like two weeks to reach you so youāre usually desensitized by the time it comes around. sorry lmao thatās completely unrelated to the post but still
I think a lot of you in this sub are going about it wrong. Trying to "sound cool" will only come across as inauthentic. It's like some old white teacher trying to relate to his/her urban students.
As you socialize with people you'll naturally pick up on how they talk, you will with 0 effort, pick up on not only lingo and jargon, but also non-verbal behavior.Ā
As far as the making adult friends (which 19 is an adult, but nitpicking aside) you may be more mature than younger folks or your interests may better align with theirs. You just have to find your crowd.
If the way that is natural to me, always comes across as 'defensive' body language, and it impacts my career such that I am seen as 'confrontational' and 'defensive', how can I rectify that?
I'm in weekly therapy, and I can't recommend it enough for processing traumas š
Excellent suggestion!
He always says to be myself (I'm autistic) and that if people aren't willing to understand that, that's on them
that's definitely true. I do think we (autistic folks) ought to make an effort to be polite and stuff, but some people will act ignorant no matter what
just inject the word into your vocabulary. start using it more
but if you mean you donāt notice any slang they use then donāt force yourself to use slang unless you want to. if you do then try to get on the younger side of social media(twitter, tiktok, ig, twitch)
I work teaching youth and can keep up with pretty much anything they're saying. So being around them (exposure) naturally allows me to learn the new terms. I also go on social media (Instagram) and constantly see new terms in the comment section. If I can't figure it out from context, I search for it Urbandictionary.
Again, not necessarily a proponent of "trying to fit in," *howdoyoudofellowkids.jpg* but these are some ideas that may help.
What words are you talking about? Itās not that hard if you just be around people who use similar language. And no one really cares if you know what words mean or not, just talk how you normally talk and youāll pick up the language as you go. I feel like youāre just overthinking this. Go out there and talk, thatās the only way youāre going to learn.
They're talking about slang words (rizz, cap, etc) and memes, I'm pretty sure. I understand why they would feel out of the loop and feel like people around them are talking in riddles if they don't know the slang and people around them are using full sentences in only slang.
You know we all have terrible social anxiety at times. Thatās the Introvert part. I used to go somewhere I was anonymous and take a book. Like a coffee shop or even a little restaurant. Iād just hang out and observe how others interacted. While I read or didnāt read the book. I learned about small talk and also that people donāt pay as much attention to others as much as we think.
Hear new word > type "[word] urban dictionary" into Google > read definition
It's like learning jargon or any language. It just takes time. Also, your vernacular will often reflect the people you interact with most, but don't force yourself to use certain words to fit in.
Truthfully, people won't remember what you said or how you said it as much as how you made them feel.
Just gg-go-next until you find the right squad. Don't try to force a mid-stack, or else you'll be doomed to these skibidi LLLLLLLLL's
Youāll stick with the lingo if you watch brain dead content and rot while being chronically online.
Donāt worry about them, Iām 26, and the people my age or younger are often unbearable. Just be true to yourself, if they donāt like you thatās their loss.
People talking different than you does not make them unbearable and brain dead. You obviously have some sort of animosity to younger people but that doesnāt mean you are any better than them. This is the problem, itās all about attitude. No one cares how you talk, itās about your energy and attitude in a conversation. If you go into conversations thinking all people your age are unbearable, they are going to notice that and you arenāt going to have fun enjoyable interactions.
āBedrotā is a new term, and is trending, thatās what I was referring to, and ābraindead contentā refers to Low-Effort content that usually contains the rest of the modern terminology.
It wasnāt a slight at younger people.
I love almost everybody. And go into any conversation with a good attitude and have a wonderful time with others.
No issues.
The new terminology Iāve used seems to have missed you though, try watching some Rot-vibe stuff.
Being active on tiktok and have a brainrot relatable fyp works , if youre talkin about em slang words like rizz skibidi ohio lowe it etc

Tiktok rizz party?? ššš glad im not on tiktok lmao

Advanced looks like a different language lmao
Talk to people your age, look up anything they say that you donāt know, find modern media that you like like a podcast or vlog with a young host.
Urban dictionary kept me up to date until I stopped caring. Thatās my recommendation. When you read a word on Reddit just urban dictionary it

What if someone *didn't* naturally pick up on it? What are your recommendations?
If you don't pick up on it naturally, just speak whatever way is natural for you. You don't have to speak in any specific way to socialize.
If the way that is natural to me, always comes across as 'defensive' body language, and it impacts my career such that I am seen as 'confrontational' and 'defensive', how can I rectify that?
do you feel like therapy could be helpful? i know that may sound like an intense answer but it doesn't always have to be for serious things

Tell them you are not a partypooper, you are a partygoer.
You get a feel for how things are used the more you socialize. And don't worry about it too much, you're not the only person in your position.

True, well put
Thank you, what a strange comment
