Unpopular Opinion
Welcome to the Unpopular Opinion community!
How voting works:
Vote the opposite of the norm.
If you agree that the opinion is unpopular give it an arrow up. If it's something that's widely accepted, give it an arrow down.
Guidelines:
Tag your post, if possible (not required)
- If your post is a "General" unpopular opinion, start the subject with [GENERAL].
- If it is a Lemmy-specific unpopular opinion, start it with [LEMMY].
Rules:
1. NO POLITICS
Politics is everywhere. Let's make this about [general] and [lemmy] - specific topics, and keep politics out of it.
2. Be civil.
Disagreements happen, but that doesn’t provide the right to personally attack others. No racism/sexism/bigotry. Please also refrain from gatekeeping others' opinions.
3. No bots, spam or self-promotion.
Only approved bots, which follow the guidelines for bots set by the instance, are allowed.
4. Shitposts and memes are allowed but...
Only until they prove to be a problem. They can and will be removed at moderator discretion.
5. No trolling.
This shouldn't need an explanation. If your post or comment is made just to get a rise with no real value, it will be removed. You do this too often, you will get a vacation to touch grass, away from this community for 1 or more days. Repeat offenses will result in a perma-ban.
6. Defend your opinion
This is a bit of a mix of rules 4 and 5 to help foster higher quality posts. You are expected to defend your unpopular opinion in the post body. We don't expect a whole manifesto (please, no manifestos), but you should at least provide some details as to why you hold the position you do.
Instance-wide rules always apply. https://legal.lemmy.world/tos/

Wow my homie. This is a really sad thing to read. I'm not very social myself, but what I do get, I love. Have you ever been in love with someone? Had a best friend? Maybe you've only ever encountered jerks and morons. I'll admit I only have found like 10 people my whole life that I really love interacting with. But for those I still am in touch with, it's like, one of the best things about life. It's up there with food, orgasms, and art. I only ever have authentic interactions. I aggressively cut off all fake people or stupid people with very high standards. But my few friends, I looooove them. It's crazy to me to see someone thinking like your post, because I consider myself a fairly hermetic person. I mean I agree most socializing is a painful waste of life. But that stuff isn't even worthy of being under the same banner as the good stuff. I really hope you can find someone you love spending time with. I would advise you that it is super worthwhile and not to think otherwise.
