Annoying things people make their whole personality

This one is great. Not only do they make it their life’s mission to convince the world that New York City is the greatest thing ever, they also feel compelled to belittle every other place on earth for being too small, too boring, too placid, uninspiring, etc.

I'd pay to see you go to Boston and say this out loud in an Irish bar. Then I'd drive you to the North End myself to see what you have to say about Italians.

Makes it even more pathetic. I guess that’s why they are poor imbeciles in the most educated city in the world. Maybe give up the whole bit?

As a mom who has 3 boys, no girls I so wish this would die.

You are a mom of boys, not a #boymom. We know the difference!

I hate the "boy mom" or "girl dad" thing. Way to perpetuate sexism. I would love and raise to the best of my ability whatever gener God gave me. I very much love my 2 children.

I am a mom of boys, not a #boymom, but I find it odd when people act like there are no differences on average. I work with mainly girls, and parent boys. The stereotypes exist for a reason. I love all their different personalities, one isn’t better than the other.

I don’t think anyone believes there are no differences. #boymom isn’t about ignoring differences, it’s about ignoring or excusing bad behavior based on gender. “Boys will be boys,” wink wink.

Read the post I was responding to. The one who thinks it perpetuates sexism and loves her two CHILDREN. Gag.

Omg this a million times. The parents who have more school spirit for their kid’s college than I ever had while I was actually in school. And people who graduated 10 years ago but still wear their school sweatshirts, hats, license plate frame, key chain, baby onesies, etc. for their Ivy all while pretending they’re not hung up on status.

Is the above okay if it’s it’s just a random state school?

+ a Million. NY is full of people who look down on their hometowns and move to a place full of... Others who did the same.

I've met many! I ran into one last week and tried to make sure I wasn't rolling my eyes involuntarily.

Persevering through medical treatment is an amazing thing, I am sincerely happy for them and wish all the best. But people survive all kinds of life threatening conditions without making it their identity.

So many of these personalities are people who are sympathy-seeking or attention-seeking. I think that's what it comes down to. People who demand more attention than anyone else, and/or want you to feel sorry for them or think they have it tougher than other people. It's so frustrating and the older I get, the less patience I have for this behavior.

Also, people like this often have little to no empathy for others. So it's all take and no give.

IPA lover
CrossFitter
“Traveler” (I am very well-traveled - this is not a personality trait, but a combination of adventurousness plus enough money and time to travel)
Diet identification: vegan, gluten-free, carnivore, keto, paleo, whole 30 etc
Profession identification

The fact is, a lot of people don’t have interesting personalities so they have to use their interests and hobbies as a stand in

Yes! My friend has a sibling like this. She visits often so I’ve hung out multiple times. I was impressed by the no TV thing until years later I found out she had a DvD player and then later multiple streaming services (literally like 5-6 of them)! But, yet I must have heard 30+times over the years from her that she had no TV. I realize now why my friend was silent when this came up.

My neighbors kids are constantly gathered at the computer monitor watching shows, but proud to "not have a television". LOL. The other neighborhood kids tell on them because you can see it from the street.
