serious question, why do redditors malfunction whenever faced with normal communication? do they think it's cool to not accept the basics of social communication? is it because reddit ripped the soul out of them? can they talk about anything that's not keanu marvel chungus 100?

I remember reading a thread about how people were upset the person cutting their hair tried to make small talk with them. These people are not normal.

There was another one where some cuckboy was mad that a waitress put her number on his receipt. Apparently it was aggravated because his parents teased him about it.

Fucker, that's when you man up and tell your father "I don't see you getting phone numbers."

It actually seems to me to be an endemic issue with the younger generations as a whole.

Being raised with a combination of TV, video games, social media, and globalization has made practicing more typical in-person conversation rarer. Not only that but most relationships are much more transient so getting to know someone one just met is an exercise in futility as they won't be in one's life for more than a short season.

Add on the need to appear more perfect in society as the sexual competition is fiercer due to the more numerous available mates and you get endless amounts of anxiety.

It's quite sad really

Putting words into user's mouths, which means making them appear like they wrote something they never actually did, especially on sensitive posts, is one of the greatest violations of user trust possible.

Although shortly after he applogized and promised never to do it again, it clearly gives away how Reddit tends to handle criticism.
