You ever see a kid playing and another kid says “can i play with you?” Then they’re just playing together.

While I like the idea of this, sometimes I just want to be alone. And somebody asking me to play would ruin my entire day.

In this scenario are you at the park playing by yourself, or does someone just skip into your living room hop to a stop and ask if they can join you while you scroll Lemmy? Because the second one makes me smile inside... I would laugh if someone did that to me. And my knees woupd crack as I tried to stand up to join them, lol

i cant think of a scenario where I'm “playing”. Maybe that’s my problem
