Memes that are too meirl for /c/meirl.
Rules:
-
Respect the community. If you're not into self-deprecating/dark/suicidal humor then this place isn't for you. Kindly just block and move on. This is just how some of us cope.
-
Respect one another.
-
All titles must begin with 2meirl4meirl. This is for multiple reasons. One is just so you can be lazy with titles but another is so people who aren't into this kind of humor can avoid it.
-
Otherwise just the general no bigotry, no dickishness, no spam, no malice, etc stuff.
Sidebar will be updated when I feel like and considering I'm Sadboi extraordinaire we'll see when that will be.

So prioritise teaching social skills, empathy, and how to be outgoing?
My mother is in her mid 80s and moved to a village where my sister lives. She's been there about two years and has more friends than my sister does. She's not even the most extroverted person I know. She makes the effort and it mostly works out for her.
I don't think I'm quite as sociable as her but I've done my best to put myself in situations that help me learn how to be sufficiently outgoing. No one is coming to save you - you have to put the work in. A manic pixie dream girl isn't going to knock on your front door to whisk you away to a new place where your friends come pre-installed.
I guess my point is that this feels like a worry that things can be done about - and those things will deliver life-long boosts to quality of life. I'm far more worried about stuff like climate change, future food supplies, and things like that when it comes to my daughter.
