I never interact with teens. For the first time in a while I was at an event and tried to make small talk with a couple of kids who were around 14. I know the dad to one kid, dad is gregarious and above average socially. They really were the stereotype of couldn't make eye contact, short answers and just generally as awkward as "the one awkward kid" when I went to school. After I gave up I kept an eye on them and didn't see them talk to anyone else the entire afternoon.

Of course it's possible they are the bottom decile socially, but Christ... maybe phones and social media really have fried their brains during their key developmental years. Also I refuse to call them "Gen Alpha", there's nothing alpha about them. It's hard to change names once they're set but I find it hard to believe a less flattering name won't stick to them.

So you're a nonce who went hanging around kids looking for an Alpha male. Got it.

retarded in a sense that they're normie dimwits yes

retarded in the fact that they're neurodivergent ? No.

the kids in that photo have something wrong with them, you can see it in their eyes

again kids are kids, i was refering to the 12-18 year olds who listen to nig music with broccoli fades

A majority of the younger children I see these days out in the public and this includes boys and girls have some kind of obvious mental issues or physical deformity. Makes sense so many openly claim to be LGBTQ

Yeah they're mutts

i’m 28 right and chronically shy and socially awkward. we have to ask for straight razor blades at the counter in pharmacies here (you may now post your LOICENSE memes). i asked this girl who was no older than 20 behind the counter if i can get a pack. for a lack of better words i am gonna assume this girl was otherwise a “stacy” at school seemed so shy awkward when dealing with customers. it was really shocking to me to see someone being even more shy than me. it wasn’t just me either before you think i’m some weird ogre that makes all people they talk to awkward anyway.

Yeah people got lazy with the naming after us (GenX). They forgot the X stood for X-treme, not just a letter of the alphabet. Then it just became X, Y, Z, A.... no creativity.

I see a handful of high schoolers at the gym. A few times I see them running cross country at my local park. The conversations I overhear are the same conversations from 20 years ago when I was in high school. Still talking about chicks. Still ripping on faggots for being faggots. Still saying racist shit. Obviously I'm only hearing the stuff from the people in the 50th percentile of Chadness or higher. But it brings me peace to know they're still the same despite all the propaganda shoved down their throats.

only the ones who aren't White or oriental (chinese, korean, japanese)

Retarded sure, socially retarded i don't see it, at least here.

>>22831559
Kind of normal to be shy when schools treat you as children until graduation with no responsibilities. It's abnormal to still be that way 10 years later. Get a job forcing yourself to talk to people and you'll stop being socially awkward pretty fast.

>>22831560
indeed

This one kid in town always gives me the gas gas when I ride by on my dirtbike, but I'm always in the wrong gear to pop it up when I see him. I feel shame and embarrassment for letting him down.

fucking kill yourself janny for moving the thread. it’s basically dead now anyway. what a useless fucking feature

>>22831573

Not only are they retarded they also constantly lie, are annoying and do the most retarded and self humiliating shit just for attention.

Hi awkward retard, I'm dad.

I am a restaurant manager and hire some teenagers to fill in entry level spots. They are mostly girls but there's some guys too and the results are varied.
They're teenagers, idk what people expect. They also have so much autonomy removed and then people are surprised when they don't know how to do things for themselves after being conditioned that way.
