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.

It seems obvious you know your behavior sucks. You can either make an effort, which most people actually do, or you can pretend you don't understand and use it as an excuse.
Eventually they won't be there for you. Why would they when you can't even be polite or watch their stupid little half a minute videos.
Relationships take effort. It's easy to notice when the effort is only one sided and it's very hard to come back from it once it's clear. Minimum effort or less doesn't make for good friendships.
Oh ok
What if I’m too depressed to watch their videos, let alone text?
Then you're a bad friend because of your depression. It's unfortunate and not something you should feel even more bad/depressed about, but it's simply true.
If they're good friends they will understand if you just tell them the truth. Instead of saying "No" you can just say, "sorry, I'm really depressed, I can't do this". It's a bit longer to write/say, but at least you're communicating honestly.
If you want to be a good friend and actually be friends with these specific people, you got to work on your depression somehow, if it is truly what is causing this behavior.
Thank you so much. I told my friends that I was really depressed and that I was sorry.
I'm glad :) I hope you can get to a better place with your depression. I've been through it, I know how much it sucks. If you need more advice/explanations/help, don't hesitate to ask.
Many people in here treated you very unfairly, because you did sound very much like you're saying "I'm incredibly amazing and can do nothing wrong", and some people assume that such a person could never do something different and they absolutely hate that.
A healthy confidence is incredibly important, but so is knowing that you're not perfect either. I'm very proud that it seems like you can do both :)
Thank youuu!
