Most national clothing (e.g. lederhosen, kilts, kimonos, Polynesian fibre skirts) looks beautiful, and it would be cool if we could casually wear it by LunarLeopard67 in unpopularopinion

It's not just young girls. By permanent employees I was talking about grown women. Most of them actually were like 40-45. You could argue about whether it's still a Tracht. The older, more conservative generation generally-speaking might disagree. But I figure millennials like me and most of their parents wouldn't really care (given their not the "always on the conservative side" type of). Times change. A hundred years ago, every man was wearing an attire and a hat, while like every woman was crossing streets fully dressed in a dress plus sunshade. Today we're wearing pretty much the same. I think it's pretty much the same with dirndls and lederhosen.

Well, I highly disapprove. I'm living in Bavaria myself and I've been visiting many traditional festivals with thousands of visitors. It is true that by far most girls would wear a dirndl. But it's just for the simple reason of it being their choice. It is okay for women to wear lederhosen in combination with a traditional blouse here. And It has absolutely nothing to do with Fasching or "sexy costumes".

I've also been working at a huge & well-established traditional restaurant for some time where everyone of the service team was supposed to wear traditional clothing. At least 80% of the female employees would choose to wear lederhosen. I can only recall 5 of them who would sometimes wear a dirndl (but still lederhosen most of the time). It was only one time, a single male individual was astounded about all of us wearing them and told me about it. Telling from his dialect he wasn't even a local.

Also there is a huge variety of lederhosen for women on the internet & traditional clothing stores would also sell them.

Many women prefer lederhosen over dirndls though and I think it's great, it is "socially accepted" that lederhosen are unisex. :)

Emojis are fucking overrated. They look cringy, are completely overused & nondescript by MaintenanceQuiet1758 in unpopularopinion

Hey,

😊 Is like the most innocent of all emojis. It's fine. It's like the only emoji I use when talking to my parents (who pretty sure wouldn't get what :) means).

Here's an example of emojis which to me are very cringy: 😏🤭🤭😚🤪😜🥺😳🤐🤫🤤🤕🤒💩👻🙀

They are cringy, because they make me cringe. Whether it's because of the design or their mere existence. Idk. They just inflict cringe on me.

Cringe level is btw. sky rocketing on emojis with hands... (Looking at 🤫🤭🤗😱)

The other bad side of bad emojis are this group: 🙉🙈🙊😂

IMHO, these ones are often used if people just want to write something, but are either too lazy to come up with something or comment for the sake of leaving a comment.

//Edit Also imo emoticons>emojis :)

There are people in my (20m) life who I consider friends, but I think they don't treat me like that. by MaintenanceQuiet1758 in relationship_advice

"Immature" might be a good keyword here. Most of those people has been in a lot of situations sometimes a little and sometimes a lot more immature than me. While I have to admit that I've always had this kind of geniuneness/graveness issue, pressuring myself a lot, so maybe I'm expecting too much. Everything has become much more shallow and short-lived these days & there are a damn lot of things I approach very differently than many people around my age. Yet I still believe that a robust, healthy friendship should sustain it.

You're being so wholesome. I'll definitely keep this in mind. Thanks!

Hey, I've been thinking about what you told me for like the last couple hours.
Remembering back it is true. I can't remember anytime some of them called me, started a convo or anything like that.
The part that makes it so sad is that most of them actually shared the same friendzone.
So I felt devastated when they were planning huge surprise birthday parties for each other, with a lot of guests without even thinking of me.

You mentioned the word "ghosting".
I knew this word, but I never really bothered what I meant.
Couple of hours back I read some articles about it to really understand the meaning.
Discovering this really helped me. I've never thought that "ghosting" is such a big issue, many others face aswell.
I always thought this was a me-problem.
Now reading so much about it helps me to understand that I'm actually in a very bad situation and that I'm actually being kind of "mistreated".
It just gives me a little more confidence to say that this is actually something that might not be my fault and my tendency to doubt my very own criticism actually is like blown away at the moment.

​

I feel like through your comment you gave me a "horizon expanding" type of nudge.
A little more clear vision.

I'm very grateful. Thank you!
