I have an advanced degree. I don’t think I know/nor do I want to know everything. But I’m an expert in my field. Outside of that, I like to consume fluffy, shallow media. Because my work is very hard with high burnout and depression, I can’t be super serious all the time. So, I have stayed single after my marriage because it was always “you think you know everything” variants any time I engaged in logic. I don’t want to be run down by people who are supposed to care. I haven’t read classics that often because I simply find them way less interesting than watching JJK. So it’s like being trapped in this space of super serious or super aggrieved potential mates, and as I’m getting older…dying alone is my only sane option.
I get it to some extent.It is a very different experience to read literature that’s aimed at a well-read, educated cohort rather than a society with a 6th grade reading level. So if people like reading in that way it’s…fine. But making it a litmus test/personality is just a bit absurd. If that was the test I’m surely a fool.

Man, I don’t get people’s obsession with classics. I’ve tried them and outside of a bit of Mark Twain, I just haven’t enjoyed them.

Omg I feel that.
