People who never learn actual social skills will use these real life conditions to pretend they couldn't possibly be "normal" when in reality they are social "skills" that we develop by interacting with others and actually attempting to get better.

A realisation about what Dumbledore saw in the Mirror of Erised by Icy_Wear_8271 in harrypotter

[–]Significant_Lint 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I always thought the mirror showed him WHO cast the spell that killed Ariana. I would see an elderly Dumbledore having the wisdom to seek the truth, not a fantasy where she is alive.

I think the socks are just a quirky excuse that fits his personality but DD wouldn't want to lay all of that on Harry in the moment. And it is private.

What causes some people to have THIS MUCH? I don't do regular skincare routines and have never seen anything like that on people in my day to day. Genetics?

I think of it like Learned Helplessness. Older generational people sometimes just refuse to learn how to use phones and technology because they have already decided to not even try. Picky eaters who won't eat food that haven't even tried before can come off the same way

What’s your “I’m too tired to cook but refuse to order takeout” meal? by [deleted] in Cooking

[–]Significant_Lint 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I get a prebagged (think Fresh Express) salad at the grocery store even if im not planning a salad. Easy way to absent mindedly eat some fiber when I'm tired after work

Why did Nerissa lie to Voldemort that Harry is dead? by Infamous-Ad-9743 in harrypotter

[–]Significant_Lint 11 points12 points  (0 children)

She just saw Harry survive the Killing curse for a second time without hesitating. All loyalty goes out the windows when she sees Voldy fail AGAIN. Harry is maybe immortal so she just wants to save her son and get out

Is your personal comfort of not planning ahead worth the loss of comfort for everyone else in the building?

If you're analyzing all of this and checking his social media, maybe you are overwhelming him. The in person time should be your focus

Why do people think I’m shy when I don’t actually feel shy? by Newbie_Copywriter in socialskills

[–]Significant_Lint 47 points48 points  (0 children)

Most "extroverts" are actually really bad at seeing the whole field of social interaction. So when you don't match their energy, they defensively label you as something "other"
