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.

Okay so you’re going to have to start lying a lot. I don’t know exactly how you’re experiencing these things but I struggle sometimes with my own personal relationships and keeping up with people. Contrary to what many ppl will say, friendships do take effort, lots of it. Depending on the person it could be more or less, but I’m it case it’s going to be a lot.
You have to recognize that part of your role our job in a friendship is to make your friends feel good. That’s why people make friends in the first place. This doesn’t mean your feelings don’t matter or that you have to be a “people pleaser” but it does mean you don’t say things like you don’t like spending time with them.
If you aren’t genuinely interested, but know someone wants to talk about something you feign interest. For example: if someone says “woah I has a crazy day”, they aren’t saying the words “let me tell you about my crazy day” but it’s a social expectation that you’re supposed to ask “woah what happened” or something along those lines.
Some people might say this is dishonest, but in my opinion actions speak louder than words. If you put a ton of effort into making your friends feel loved, safe, and happy, then they’re getting their half out of the social bargain. Some people just express their love for their friends in less socially common ways, and the typical ways don’t always come naturally.
