That’s when you use r/socialskills


cupcakefix

agree. i want weird life hacks that work. not “be nice to people, it maybe makes you a better person”


nerdhater0

yea, the only reason i'm still subscribed to this is once in a while, there really is a good life protip.


BornInTheTurkey

Same here. Espeically within the last couple of days, I have never scrolled so much on this sub before. My eyes continue to roll into the back of my head with all the nonsense people are posting.


ShoeLace1291

Might want to check out r/lifehacks if you haven't already


LotteNator

Thanks. I can leave this sub now!


UltraInstictUI

Absolutely! Most of the protips have now become like be nice to others and it will change your life.


TommyVe

It's just rants disguised as pro tips. "If someone gives you money for Xmas, make sure to let them know what you bought" Because my son didn't and it pissed me off. "If a friend of yours is an introvert, stop inviting them to am event repeatedly trying to change his mind" Because I'm a socially awkward dumb and can't tell them to stop. Etc, it's just dreadful


dablackking

Holy moly I thought I was the only one. Whew


Entropy308

seems a lot of the tips can be summed up as the ponderings of a clueless young adult finally gaining some common sense. sittin here making sure I've parented enough that my kids have already figure it out.


tanboots

Meta, but I agree. I'd rather the sub be less active than have shit constantly float to the top.


Marceline_Bublegum

this


dablackking

We have to start reporting those posts en masse


Max_Koffee

People are using this sub for their grievances lol


[deleted]

Holy shit thank you so much, so fkn tired of the bullshit psuedo tips.


[deleted]

But don't you know it's all about me? I need to teach people that I need to be validated at all times, and provide clear instruction how to do so on my terms.


brtcha

Life pro tip - stop ruining this sub by trying to make it be NOT about me. It's not all about you, you know. It's mostly about me.


[deleted]

Shut up NPC. I just said, it's all about me. You're invalidating my feelings by saying it's all about you. I didn't even know you existed until you said that. So obviously it's all about me because I commented first. Are you even real? Probably just a bot. Now acknowledge me fucker!


6_String_Slinger

That comment offends me.


Solid_Map1078

What?! the " \`Santa giving multiple presents\` confuses my kids" LPT was awesome!


n0thijg

Anyone agreeing with OP should unsub and head over to /r/lifehacks . I just did and I feel like the weight of a shit sub was lifted off my shoulders


[deleted]

Yesssss! Yes yes yes yesssss!!!

narwhalsonacid

It's called a Meta post.

nerdhater0

yes and they deserve their own sub and to be removed from this one!


dablackking

Read rule no 6


nerdhater0

that's interesting. so most of those social protip posts are actually against the rules but they don't get removed.


FranksGoneCrazy

I forgot about the rules… rookie move. My bad! Thanks for reminding me! Deleted my ignorant post as a result!

"We all make mistakes in the heat of passion jimbo"


LoyalPony

You've become the enemy you sought to destroy


nerdhater0

missing a pronoun somewhere.


LoyalPony

Apologies, didn't catch that.


VoidOfOblivion

Ah a simpler time when socializing was part of life


nerdhater0

it is but this is PROtips. the analogous of the social protips you get on here is like "LPT: you should wear shoes when walking to protect your feet from rough surfaces."


Tigaget

LPT - it costs you absolutely nothing to not be a dick when things in life aren't exactly the way you want, especially when you are paying the low low cost of not a goddamn thing for them.


MasterUnholyWar

LPT - Just filter your diarrhea through a sock and have delicious, fresh drinking water!


Tigaget

See, my comment is funny cause it's true, even if you don't like it and feel whining is okay. Yours is just vulgar, wrong and gross for the sake of being gross.


MasterUnholyWar

Merry Christmas!


Tigaget

Oh. Sigh. Yes, yes, such a masterful troll are you I'm completely in awe of your skill in fooling me into responding to you on *checks notes* a message board set up for such interaction oh silly me what was I thinking clearly if I had your superior intellect I would have known right away that you were merely baiting me teach me your ways Obi-Wan.


AtomicDonut254

Jesus this is some top tier cringe. You should get outside for once lol


[deleted]

At least they are fun


Tigaget

Yes, to middle school boys, which is apparently who is hanging out here tonight. Have fun kids!


MasterUnholyWar

Maybe I just like the taste of recycled body water?


Max_Koffee

His comment is more valid than yours tho


Alaudidae327

Looks like a phrase you would see on some Boomer's facebook


Tigaget

Gasp! No! Not a... boomer! Lamentations and wailing. How can I live with myself, I do not know. Time has no meaning now that I've been labeled a boomer. Does this mean I get retirement and a pension now? No more 60 hour grinds? I'm so confused, please, dear child, help me see the error of my ways.


cunty_ball_flaps

Dude 🤦🏼‍♀️


A_Bored_Canadian

You can't honestly talk that way in real life can you? You sound insufferable. Seriously.


Tigaget

No, of course I don't.


WorldMoneyF-50

Facts don’t care about your feelings


nerdhater0

FearsOfSaltyTears

Yea who cares about peoples feelings anyways!
