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.

Like Antidepressants?
Or like... those that get the DEA knocking?
Drugs will result in me being homeless.
Also literally don't know any Asians that use drugs, I'd probably get so socially ostricised from the entire Asian community since its stigmatized and that'd suck.
Also brain damage... I'm trying to not like have memory issues... psychoactive chemicals and all... don't want even more issues than I already have...
Damn, that definitely sounds like a hostile environment I'd want to get out off!

My parents ARE the cause of my stunted development and I have no clue how to be "independent"
The idea of bugeting and bills just terrify me.
I'm emotionally unable to like be alone because I'm just so used to be with my abusive parents since the beginning of my life
I'm rarely like "by myself" except for like K-12 school
Can't even manage do to college since I was so anxious the entire time I tried...
Literally so depressed and can't even sleep in the college apartments because I couldn't get used to not being with my abusive parents
Wtf is wrong with me
They created this trap where I'm not only financially dependent on them, but also emotionally...
Stockhold syndrome much?
Idk why
I KNOW its abusive, but I CRAVE their approval so much
what the fuck is wrong with me
I feel so sad if they reject me
I really wanna kill myself idk why
I never even had a true friend
It's scary at first to do everything for yourself, but it becomes less scary over time, as you get used to it. Stay focused on your goal of one day not needing them anymore, and don't give up.
The fact that you recognize these things is great in and of itself. But to move forward, you might need to force yourself. Start slowly. Take a walk by yourself. Go sightseeing. Visit a museum. Join an animal rescue, or any club you're interested in. I know, it's fucking hard. I'm going through something similar myself. But you owe it to yourself to save yourself, because no one is going to do it for you.
