A take: High school and all of its dramas prepare you for life. It gives you a no-stakes glimpse of the fact that for most people a lot of opportunities are dependent on your relationships and your status. 

This is scoped to both global and local contexts (tech twitter, Farcaster, your neighborhood, your corporate office, your polycule, idk 🤷🏼‍♀️ ). 

If you don’t like your spot in one place you can go try and be a bigger fish in another pond. Or you can work on that stuff where you are. Nothing is fixed. And Americans especially love a comeback story 

You can opt out entirely, too — who’s to say you were put here on this beautiful planet to play office politics! — but you can’t be mad when a lot of other people still play the old games. I myself have to work on that, the irritation I feel when I know I’m being judged by their standards, not mine

🤩 okay coming from you it means double, you often have great takes!!!

the problem is equating life to high school though, in reverse, many people do this

people that act like they're still in high school when adults..

Yes you are right i agree with you @keccers.eth
