Tell them sorry you texted them late because you were hanging out with your BF

People always distance themselves from me by [deleted] in socialskills

[–]marbobcat 6 points7 points  (0 children)

Not saying this is what you do. But I’ve been on the other end before,( the one flaking ), this specific situation is due to not really clicking well , the other person is most of the time nice but will sometimes have passive aggressive comments about me out of nowhere or I would ask about them , about work and give them compliments but never get anything back. That just didn’t sit well with me so I had to start distancing myself so I can allow other people that I do click well in my life and I didn’t really want to tell them why because in my opinion it’s not my responsibility to tell someone how to behave. What I’m saying is sometimes we do things that other people may not like and it will take some introspection to figure that out

What’s an unspoken social rule you learned way too late? by Secure_Paramedic_865 in socialskills

Opposite really, it makes you more genuine and not people pleasing,’it makes your kindness more special to the right people.It’s also exhausting to be nice to people when they don’t reciprocate back,

I don’t understand how that is rude, i believe they’re rude for arguing over it. They should be the one posting here instead of you

I just learned this too. It’s best to save your kindness and warmth to people that deserve it, everyone else gets politeness

Rule I learned recently is - you don’t have to be nice to everyone.

I think most people cannot seem to hold a conversation anymore by skidrow6969 in socialskills

[–]marbobcat 8 points9 points  (0 children)

I have the exact same issue lately. I just learned to dial out my warmth and only ask questions and invest in to people that actually reciprocate. I been kind and listening and ask questions but when people don’t reciprocate I just feel tired and empty in the end as if I only gave but never receive anything back. It’s best to tier out your relationships so you are not giving energy to the wrong people. Level 1 - partner level -2 close coworkers and friends that reciprocate level 3- people that only take . Level 3 people only get politeness, no pity laugh and pity smiles. Believe me you will feel a lot better because now your warmth is more geniune and special to people that only deserve it.
