Chat is a text only community for casual conversation, please keep shitposting to the absolute minimum. This is intended to be a separate space from c/chapotraphouse or the daily megathread. Chat does this by being a long-form community where topics will remain from day to day unlike the megathread, and it is distinct from c/chapotraphouse in that we ask you to engage in this community in a genuine way. Please keep shitposting, bits, and irony to a minimum.

As with all communities posts need to abide by the code of conduct, additionally moderators will remove any posts or comments deemed to be inappropriate.

Thank you and happy chatting!

we've all got them, right? this isn't just a me thing, right???

you meet nice people, you get to know them, and you realize that they really like you but actually you don't like them

what's it like for you? how do you deal?

my strategy is to just be kind and supportive but largely unavailable, but as a late-diagnosed autistic person, idk if I'm doing it right

do I need to formally break up with these people as friends or is distance enough?

maybe this belongs in /c/neurodivergent or /c/askchapo 🤔

This has been my whole life—making friends and then realizing that they annoy me and don’t interest me very much at all. I usually just drift away and eventually unfriend or whatever, more proactively if they’re really annoying.

And then the one person I’ve ever really liked a lot got tired of me and won’t talk to me anymore: maybe karma is real.
