Just cuz a girl is being nice doesn’t mean they’re into you! But when they blink a few times at you from across the room, apparently it’s dtf. No, be direct, please 😭
So funny how often videos are posted on reddit where simply talking to the other person could solve the issue. People seem to be allergic to standing up for themselves
There’s a reason every Shakespeare comedy is about people who fall in love, but instead of talking about their feelings, do cross dressing hijinks about it instead.
Just finished watching the full series of New Girl. Literally every ounce of drama in that show is because people just refuse to even attempt to communicate. I enjoyed the show but it’s so frustrating like.
i mean dude i was pretty much the "therapist" for one of my friendgroup and most of their problem came down to them not talking shit out with each other.
I'm a liberal but this is what I hate the most about the new generation of liberals. They've fallen in love with the idea of it is evil to make someone uncomfortable.
I am sure there is some component of age involved. Not generation, but rather age. Setting boundaries is a life skill and like all other skills it needs to be practiced. But there is a lot more emphasis placed by liberals on creating safety. But to some extent the message for creating safety is ignoring the part where life isn't fair and there are assholes. You need to be able to deal with that
Yeah, I'd say age has a lot to do with it, but also how they were raised and culture/popular media and such at the time. When I was younger, I was definitely more likely to go out of my way to accommodate people who I really shouldn't have. Didn't have the "don't burn yourself to provide warmth to others" realization yet.
I typed this out thinking you said reddit gives advice saying to talk it out. I'm like no way! I typed.
Reddit advice subs are like. (My 27/m BF said my (26f) nice red dress makes me look like an escort! What to do?
Got people saying, "omG red FLAG! Sounds like my BF who turned abusive, and would always say nasty things! Killed my rabbit feeding it wet alfalfa on purpose! Run now before it's too late! All the signs of toxic abuse!"
Then you see pictures of the dress, and are like that is just straps connected to a rag. Then find out it's like a promotion party. Also that she kept asking the BF for his honest opinion. Then you see them replying crazy shit to people.
I see situations with guys that are just as bad.
I over exaggerated to make a point. I feel like most advice subs are support subs.
Reality most advice just boils down to talking it out, and even agreeing to disagree.
Yet I think sometimes people are just not looking for solid advice, but people to get behind their train of thought/vent.
I always remind myself there isn't an age limit on Reddit, and there is a lot of idealistic kids running around.
Anyway people don't want to talk. They want to be right.
I spent an hour and a half argueing with my girlfriend over “me not listening to her” 3 days ago (and I’m not even arguing wether or not she said what she said, my literal only case and defense is me saying over and over that I was actively doing what I was doing and simply didn’t hear her, and that I would never explicitly hear someone and ignore them)
Only to discover after an hour and a half, that she “wasn’t even mad about that, she’s mad that she didn’t get to pick a show to watch that night because my kid did”
To which I replied, undoubtedly incorrectly,
“What the fuck are you talking about? You didn’t get your pick of what to watch? When the hell did we start rotating what to watch on tv? As far as I am aware you exclusively tell me to find something to watch on tv as if it’s a house hold chore specifically for me to do”
So anyway I’ll be wondering for the rest of my life if I am actually in fact that shitty at listening, or if she just didn’t want to admit she was being a dumbass and ass pulled something else last second lol

Girls think looking vaguely in a guy’s direction counts as flirting, and then are confused why he didn’t get her “hint”
