>If you don't have anything nice to say don't say anything at all.
It's actually worked though. I was a bitter asshole in middle school and most of high school, took until my junior high school year for a girl to snap that line at me after I said something sarcastic, and the fact everybody just looked at me like they'd wished they had said it and realizing nobody thought I was funny.
So I shut up and stopped talking to people and I was actually well respected in college because of it.
>As in, interrupt people going about their lives.
there a lot of people who actually enjoy being interrupted. it gives them energy to have a positive interaction with a stranger. it makes them feel less alone.
>As if anyone has actually made a friend by talking to a guy reading a book in a cafe.
plenty of people have found friends this way..."Oh, is that "Incredible Buttholes Six"? I loved "Five". Are the buttholes still as incredible in this one?"
You just don't get how odd this is now irl. Retard fuck off and die.
Where do you live? Because it's not socially acceptable to do that here.
>took until my junior high school year for a girl to snap that line at me after I said something sarcastic
that girl sounds like a cunt. I don't care what kind of shit comes out of an autists mouth, no one should be told to say nothing at all if they have "nothing nice to say". That's hot bullshit
Anything relating to sleep. "Just take a shower that'll calm you down," "try exercising," "don't eat before bed," NONE OF IT FUCKING WORKS EVEN AN INKLING my body decides when it wants to sleep and I have no control whatsoever over that.
OK, well who is making this assumption? People who know you in real life and can see and smell you directly, or random internet strangers who know nothing about you?
If it's the former, then maybe you're not showering or laundering enough if people who actually know you are suggesting that you do it more often. If it's the latter...why are you offended? They know *nothing* about you. Just ignore that part of the advice, or say "I already do that" and move on.
Maybe you're just not socially acceptable. I made some of my best friends just chatting to them at a cafe or a bar or whatever
if showering and exercising don't make you feel good then you may have some sort of serious disorder, like something that is actually preventing your brain from connecting fully with reality. this is like saying that you cannot taste things when you eat them or hear birds when you go outside. you are apparently not part of the common human experience of being alive and should seriously consider some sort of external, professional assistance.
>Maybe you're just not socially acceptable
No, user. Where I live, you don't spark conversations with strangers unless you live in a very small village. It's considered impolite and people will think you're weird or possibly American.
