[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Travel people. I’m a millennial and I don’t know how common this is with other age groups but the wanderlust/I have to be planning a trip or on one people are so annoying. Nothing against vacationing or traveling to interesting places but that, in itself, is not a personality. [/quote]

You are supposed to travel for yourself, [b]not for bragging rights, but travel has somehow turned into a bragging rights thing, which is shameful[/b]. [/quote]

This is the problem with our whole society now. Everything has turned into a competition. Travel, parenting, working, remodeling. The “Look at me! I do X better than you!” phenomenon. And the fact that all these things appear contagious. If neighbor A and B remodel their kitchen, you just know which neighbors C and D will soon follow, even if they hadn’t previously discussed it.

I don't know if the whole society is like this, but certainly the DMV. It sucks the joy out of a lot of stuff.[/quote]

Self proclaimed "foodies" (or whatever they call them now) too.[/quote]

Striver culture in DC is a whole thing. I knew a woman whose "thing" was knowing all the hot new bars and restaurants. If a new bar or restaurant opened, she'd get mad if someone she knew went there before she did. This extended to travel, too, of course. She was friends with some of my friends so I saw her often and talking to her was so tedious.

But, relevant to this conversation, she later had a baby and now when we see her all she talks about is her kid and parenting and schools and activities and if someone mentions a vacation or a new restaurant, she loudly proclaims "WHO has the time or energy for that stuff with kids?!" Even though all of us have kids.

It's aaaaaaaall insecurity.[/quote]
