Does anyone have friends that tries too hard to be adorkable?
Adorkable characters are like Princess Anna of Arendelle, Rapunzel—I love these characters btw, just so you know. But this friend is like this emoji: 🥺
The type of person that says:
"Ayaw baaaa🥺"
"Di man ko ing ana guys 🥺🥺🥺🥺"
and makes the corniest jokes.
I’ve noticed a particular way of speaking or behaving online—often described as “adorkable”—that some people find endearing, but I personally find a bit performative and grating. It usually involves exaggerated cuteness, overly quirky language, or babyish expressions. What surprises me is how normalized or even praised this kind of behavior has become, to the point that it seems to go unchallenged. I’m not trying to be harsh, but it feels inauthentic to me, and I’m not sure how to express that without sounding overly critical or mean. Does anyone know what I mean?? I hate people that are quirky but the performative type of quirky.
Everything they talk about is just themselves, their problems. And dont get me wrong, some people do that to show the other person that they can relate. But this friend ONLY talks about themself and thats it. She doesn't care about what you want to say to them, as if you arent friends.
Is there some psychology explanation behind this??
