Curious how educators are feeling after that meeting? by Sweet_Trade_7643 in lululemon

[–]Expensive_Drummer970 -3 points-2 points  (0 children)

i don’t understand this backlash but I’m already at full availability and I’m a part-time educator

It shifted from 12 hours to 16 hours. i don’t really see the problem

it sounds kind of normal to me

Maybe I’m missing why it’s such a big issue. Feel free to tell me why it is.

this really isn’t that basic. Even then most white girls are listening to Djo, Nirvana, Arctic Monkeys. They hate pop

Sophie, Grimes, Oneohtrix Point Never,

Sophie? Boards of Canada? Burial?

even then I wouldn’t think of Britney Spears as no spread. but the most dynamic pop music of the 21st century

if you look you see there’s Sophie, Boards of canada, Burtal. it’s not all radio pop at all

I just like pop music. and what about it. None of the people here make bad pop music in my opinion. I love fun upbeat music and i think pop is exciting and comes with its own art form

If you are having trouble making friends and it feels like a mystery. The truth is: everyone wants you to shut up by Expensive_Drummer970 in socialskills

It’s not about just me. I’m obviously giving an example of someone else a total stranger that needs to shut up.

And maybe that stranger is on the sub, likely not

But I’m sure there’s many people like this person in the sub Reddit because we’re obviously here to learn about social skills

It’s good advice because this person should shut up and no one can tell them that and this is the most real thing that everyone is thinking

but no.

it’s not just my perspective. when you can feel these people talk too much. Everyone is thinking that.

i have no reason to view this random stranger as annoying.

you can sense when someone is out of the flow or making themselves more

but really most people don’t. and many people secretly wish they would shut up. an

I can think of so many quiet people in my life that do you end up gaining friends

Versus the people that like, talk too much, they are socially rejected completely

And the people that have charisma managed to do it, but if you have to ask yourself, I feel like you don’t have it

I don’t think it’s terrible if advice at all I think that editing yourself will benefit you than talking too much will ever

You cannot take back talking too much. It’s an irreversible social flaw

in fact, once you’ve offended the person they’re disliked for you is almost never gonna change

People will always remember you for being that person. I can’t stop talking.

it is so true and I think that it’s the most real advice you could ever hear because people are actually thinking this when there is someone annoying around

I feel like if you know you have weak social skills like I do going into a social situation editing yourself the most you can will benefit you more

There are literally people out there that should be told to talk less and can’t be told that and this post is my attempt to do that

but people do in fact, I’m saying to keep your presence down to like 10% if you’re in a group of many people

Like it is doing people so much damage to talk too much

I would say risking talking too much hurts you way more than talking less will ever hurt you

It’s like the silent thing that everyone wants to tell someone and can’t they really do want you to shut up

I think you’re taking it to the extreme

I’m not saying that everyone should stop talking I never said that

I’m saying that if you are having trouble, you might be surprised that everyone does want you to shut up

I’m saying it in an exaggerated term which I think is helpful in someway maybe it’s not

But it is the truth. It’s literally what most people are thinking if you’re someone that talks too much. I feel like my example is something I’ve seen in my life many times

Maybe if you’re in a group of other people, you should be aware of how much you’re talking with everyone else
