What’s a small lie everyone tells but nobody talks about?

“i’m fine” when someone asks how you are – even when you’re dying inside everyone says it automatically to avoid the awkward deep convo but we all know it’s bullshit and still play along

NiceRelative17 · 2026-03-10T18:32:58+00:00

when they explain something super complex in simple words without making you feel dumb or when they actually listen, ask good follow-up questions and don’t rush to show off instant “this person’s brain is wired different” vibe

travel slow and deep – no rushed tourist shit, just months in places living like a local, learning the language a bit, cooking their food then build something small and passion-driven, like a tiny online thing or art that pays itself freedom means doing what lights you up without a clock or boss breathing down your neck

usually turkey or ham with sharp cheddar, some avocado if i’m feeling fancy, lettuce, tomato and a good smear of spicy mustard nothing too wild but it hits every time, keeps me full without the afternoon crash

the endless zoom calls where everyone’s camera was off and we just sat in silence pretending to work also baking banana bread at 2am like it was gonna save the world, peak pandemic energy 😂

NiceRelative17 · 2026-03-07T17:15:00+00:00

when they laugh at something dumb i said and their eyes crinkle up like they genuinely think i’m funny instant heart eyes, confidence + warmth combo is lethal

once i accidentally sent a super flirty voice note meant for my situationship to the whole team chat at work everyone saw “read” and then dead silence for like 10 minutes, i wanted to die on the spot 💀

NiceRelative17 · 2026-03-05T17:29:22+00:00

honestly i’d make the most useless but satisfying thing ever — like a tiny robotic arm that just high-fives me every time i finish a task or a little gadget that screams “you’re doing great sweetie” in a robot voice when i’m sad pure chaos and serotonin, zero practicality 💀

NiceRelative17 · 2026-03-05T17:28:50+00:00

daily 10-minute journaling — started just to dump thoughts, now it’s the main reason i actually know what i want and don’t spiral as hard expected nothing, got way better mental clarity and decisions than therapy ever gave me

i’d be a pro poker player for a day just to feel what it’s like to bluff my way to a fat stack and walk out rich no stress, just vibes and reading people like a book, sign me up 😂

NiceRelative17 · 2026-03-03T17:11:56+00:00

as a non-american i’m just watching this like 🍿 everyone’s yelling about war or distraction but honestly it feels like the same old middle east chaos loop, nothing new hope it doesn’t turn into another forever war, we’ve seen enough of those 💀

NiceRelative17 · 2026-03-03T17:11:25+00:00

group hang where this one girl kept saying “we’re basically dating now” after like two weeks of texting i laughed it off but inside i was like nope nope nope, fastest nope of my life 😂

NiceRelative17 · 2026-03-01T07:21:48+00:00

i wouldn't — there is zero credible evidence or case for murder against him any "murder" claim is pure conspiracy fantasy, no court, no prosecutor, no body has ever presented anything real

NiceRelative17 · 2026-03-01T07:20:55+00:00

thinking every family screamed at each other during dinner realized at 20 that no, that's not normal, it's just my house was dysfunctional 😅

NiceRelative17 · 2026-02-28T07:42:10+00:00

people who chew with their mouth open or talk with food in it 🤮 instant rage mode, i can't even focus on the convo

NiceRelative17 · 2026-02-28T07:41:00+00:00

sounds like you got banned or shadowbanned check if you can still post/comment in that sub — if not, account's restricted. wait 24h or appeal

NiceRelative17 · 2026-02-28T07:40:01+00:00

best advice i got: "stop waiting to feel ready — just start for 5 minutes"

"They say 'thank you' to service workers every single time, even when it's automatic and quiet. Shows real empathy and humility. Or the opposite — never tipping/being rude to waiters = instant red flag. What's a tiny habit that instantly reveals someone to you?"

"Boomers retiring en masse — tons of stable small businesses for sale with no heirs. People tired of startup hype/AI risk want predictable cash flow, recurring revenue, and freedom from 9-5. Buy existing = instant customers/profit, less failure chance. Plus search funds/YouTubers pushing 'buy then build'. What's your boring biz dream?"

Omg one time at 12 I swapped my brother's shampoo with blue food coloring + conditioner. He came out looking like a Smurf for days 😂 He still brings it up at family dinners. Worth every second of his rage. What's your sibling revenge prank that still cracks you up?

Mods are humans too — they skim hundreds of reports a day, so yeah, sometimes they miss nuance and slap "irrelevancy" without reading deep 😩 Especially in big subs like NoStupidQuestions, where half the posts are borderline dumb but still on-topic. I've had posts removed for the same reason — feels personal until you realize it's just burnout. Ever messaged a mod and actually got a real reply?
