If that paragraph hadn't ended

"the hypnotic, semi-deluded mirth others feel.", but just ended "join in"

It would sum up where I am (hence I did a post yesterday about the wealth of choice in our recent generations)

Nobody should ever be categorised as mental, weird, or miserable because they made a choice which wasn't the same as a larger group of people

I don't know if it's cynicism, but I'm someone who likes constants. Whether it's love, friends, routine. I like the routine. Hence I've spent the summer watching Argentinian and MLS football, because I like football.

I don't find it difficult to not invest my time into a wealth of sports I'll not follow the moment the games finish

I don't think anyone weird, mental, miserable, lacking empathy, or whatever for being involved.

I think the majority should just accept that some people chose not to watch
