No Stupid Questions
No such thing. Ask away!
!nostupidquestions is a community dedicated to being helpful and answering each others' questions on various topics.
The rules for posting and commenting, besides the rules defined here for lemmy.world, are as follows:
Rules (interactive)
Rule 1- All posts must be legitimate questions. All post titles must include a question.
All posts must be legitimate questions, and all post titles must include a question. Questions that are joke or trolling questions, memes, song lyrics as title, etc. are not allowed here. See Rule 6 for all exceptions.
Rule 2- Your question subject cannot be illegal or NSFW material.
Your question subject cannot be illegal or NSFW material. You will be warned first, banned second.
Rule 3- Do not seek mental, medical and professional help here.
Do not seek mental, medical and professional help here. Breaking this rule will not get you or your post removed, but it will put you at risk, and possibly in danger.
Rule 4- No self promotion or upvote-farming of any kind.
That's it.
Rule 5- No baiting or sealioning or promoting an agenda.
Questions which, instead of being of an innocuous nature, are specifically intended (based on reports and in the opinion of our crack moderation team) to bait users into ideological wars on charged political topics will be removed and the authors warned - or banned - depending on severity.
Rule 6- Regarding META posts and joke questions.
Provided it is about the community itself, you may post non-question posts using the [META] tag on your post title.
On fridays, you are allowed to post meme and troll questions, on the condition that it's in text format only, and conforms with our other rules. These posts MUST include the [NSQ Friday] tag in their title.
If you post a serious question on friday and are looking only for legitimate answers, then please include the [Serious] tag on your post. Irrelevant replies will then be removed by moderators.
Rule 7- You can't intentionally annoy, mock, or harass other members.
If you intentionally annoy, mock, harass, or discriminate against any individual member, you will be removed.
Likewise, if you are a member, sympathiser or a resemblant of a movement that is known to largely hate, mock, discriminate against, and/or want to take lives of a group of people, and you were provably vocal about your hate, then you will be banned on sight.
Rule 8- All comments should try to stay relevant to their parent content.
Rule 9- Reposts from other platforms are not allowed.
Let everyone have their own content.
Rule 10- Majority of bots aren't allowed to participate here. This includes using AI responses and summaries.

Depends on your standards. I don't share your 'everyone is unique and wonderful' idealization of people. IME very few people are unique or wonderful, most people are boring and base. For every person I meet who is interesting there are about 50 whose life consists of watching TV and bitching about their wife/husband/kids, who get deeply offended at you if you do other things with your time than either of those two things.
Like I said to the other commenter, if most of your interactions with other people are unsatisfactory you should consider what the common factor in all those conversations.
Yeah, it's me. I'm not interested in the shit they are interested in, and I don't empathize with their self-inflected misery that makes up the bulk of their conversational topics.
I'd rather stay home and read a book than listen to someone whine about how their dad is mean to them for not buying them a Porsche, and be told I'm an asshole because I don't agree that their dad is an asshole and I think they don't need a Porsche. Plenty of other people though, are happy to have that conversation with them and agree with them their dad is an abusive jerk for not buying them that Porsche. Maybe you are one of those people? maybe you also feel equally aggrieved at your parents or life in general because you don't have a Porsche? I can't relate to that, and frankly I think people who feel angry their dad for not buying them a Porsche are shitty people
So literally everyone you know has a dad that can buy them a Porsche?
It all makes sense now.
Not literally, but metaphorically, yes. People where I live think a 150K salary is poverty and that you can't possibly have a decent life if you don't own a Porsche and have three homes. and they talk about it all the time, you can't sit in restaurant or anywhere without people talking about how their life is awful and depressing because they only have 200K in their checking account and they can't possible feel safe and secure unless it's 2 million. And they love to talk about how their parents are horrible to them for not giving them six to seven figure sums in gifts.
Honest advice: meet some non-wannabe-rich people.
Many people are interesting, smart, funny and empathetic. Many other people also suck. The trick is to filter. There is a reason you have a door in front of your place.
If you consistently run into the people that suck, try meeting other people. People based on a different filter.
All kinds of things can be a filter. A sports club, a neighbourhood, a job, a political party, a bar... Pick one that you feel comfortable with and that has a higher chance of meeting the good people.
I would leave and find people I liked to be around. Could you do that?
