Maybe I'm a boring middle-class introvert but…
> People I knew made vague threats that I would regret leaving or talking about it. A roommate of mine stopped telling me where he was going when he left the house. Friends whom I trusted contacted me and played stupid about their own involvement in order to suss out what I knew. I can't say with confidence that Nonchalance encouraged this behavior, but they should have been able to predict it.
What kind of person regularly interacts with so many people that several of them – "people", "a roommate", and "friends" – are part of some secret society and feel the need to start bothering her about no longer partaking?
Hell, I'm lucky if I can find one person I know to play Words With Friends. And none of them would notice or care if I stopped playing, they'd just assume I got busy or something, like every other middle-class 30-something with a job.
I guess this is a wealthy socialite thing? Reading this feels so foreign to me.
- Domenic_S 10y agoWealthy socialites don't have roommates. This reads like the author is in college or fresh out, where school friends + roommates + roommates' friends + parties + nights out = interacting with a lot of people.
- srtjstjsj 10y agothe society is all the friends of friends of someone. So someone in that circle of friends has several. The rest of the world has 0.
- watwut 10y agoI think it is young person with many friends thing. Roommate suggest either college student or someone not wealthy - wealthy people have own apartments. They are probably all members of the same social group.
