I cringe at how my friends want to travel.
>only go to places they saw on Instagram
>no deviation from itinerary
>ignore all the people, history and culture
>just go from attraction to attraction
I love them dearly but trips with them are the worst. And I don't have the heart to say no when they ask me to come because I know I'll never get to go with anyone else. My next trip will be solo travel though, in places I want to go myself, leaving myself plenty of time to explore and meet people and have interesting adventures.

When I went to Africa for the first time I acted scared of the locals who tried to sell me things and they laughed at me and called me Whitey.
Now I know I should have not been frightened and spoken to them like any other person.
People are people no matter where. Big thing I learned

Africans are Africans though. They're stupid and little more intelligent than animals. In some cases they're less intelligent than animals. Always treat them as such. Never treat them as equals, no matter what they say or do.

Africans don't understand autistic social aversion whatsoever. Neither do Filipinos. The concept of a person being incapable of communicating the most basic human emotions is baffling and amusing to them.
>big thing I learned
WDYM? There are enormous variations in interpersonal expression across human cultures. Some cultures are utterly shameless. Yelling and bickering over petty bullshit is part of the daily routine, as is dishonesty and trickery. Others are far more refined and constrained by social norms.

Nothing to do with age, bucko. It's called being ugly. Nobody wants to look at an ugly person and see their hideous fucking face staring back at you with a miserable longing expression.

When I was younger I hated looking weird, but at 31 I've grown into it and enjoy catching the eyes of everyone everywhere I go. The habit of setting your facial muscles will over time make your face look more chiseled/masculine and not like a pudgy, immature beta boi. Of course, a noteworthy appearance doesn't translate into personal likeability (friends) or sexual attraction (pussy).

>Do any of you travel so badly others cringe at how bad you traveling?
Any time you think like this, you’re mostly just cringing at yourself in your head. You should stop doing that. You deserve better.
Have I ever made anyone cringe? I mean, maybe. But has it ever been so obvious that I actually noticed it, or it made me feel bad? Of course not, or hardly ever.
Even if people appear to be paying attention to you, most of what you think they’re thinking is usually just imaginary nonsense you’re making up all by yourself. If you’re actually interacting with people who are reacting to you with contempt, that’s one thing. But how often does that actually happen? Nowhere near as often as the neurotic imaginary self-loathing “cringing” that people make up to feel bad about.
I have been traveling for many years. My travel style, and my personality in general, are doubtless lame by some people’s standards. But I can think of a total of exactly two times, ever, that it’s been unmistakably broadcasted to me. When I was on a family trip to Spain at age thirteen,’my first time abroad, two cute Spanish teenaged girls a little older than me laughed at how bad my Spanish attempt to buy ice cream was. I was crushed. Many years later, as a grown man on a business trip to Geneva, a bartender I was trying to flirt with shot me down absolutely unequivocally and witheringly. She might have literally cringed. I paid and GTFO and my fellow patrons chiuckled. Oh well.
On all my other (hundreds of) trips? If strangers were cringing at any aspect of me, they were subtle about it. People I actually engage with are nearly always either neutral or positive, and ultimately unimportant.
