2. Whether someone thinks that the literature, music, art, film, or any other kind of entertainment you enjoy isn’t cool.

3. When someone looks at the food you’re eating and comments on how it isn’t good for you. (THAT IS WHY I ORDERED CHILI FRIES BITCH PASS ME THE RANCH DRESSING)

10. Who is making more money than you, or how much exactly you think that they are making.

17. What people are going to think about the clothes that we really enjoy wearing.

18. What someone might be saying behind your back (the answer is almost invariably that they aren’t even thinking about you).

21. How many followers you have on Twitter.

22. Being the only one without a significant other at a given event.

27. Not being found attractive by someone who is not even remotely worth your time.

29. Watching your former bullies become train wrecks via Facebook (though I will admit that that shit is pretty satisfying.)

31. Proving to people who aren’t willing to listen that you are an okay person who is happy and whole.
