I wish some of my friends were just more casual and chill when we hang out. It always has to be some petty serious bullshit and I’m tired of being lectured about random various topics that melt my brain because I already know them or don’t care. I’m hanging out with you, for YOU, not some deep lore on a subject(which can be fun! Just not all the time!) or pompous take, not some constant weird diss at one of my favorite things, I just want to hear your laugh, ideas, relaxing thoughts, and talk with you.

It’s gotten so bad recently that I’ve had to just turn my phone off to ignore their messages for however long I need because it’s so much negative egotistical bullshit.

Is there a better way I can go about this? I truly do love my friends, but I cannot stand being lectured to all the time bc it hurts my brain when I wanna just relax with them
