Oh shit, it isn’t?
Is it considered rude?
That would explain some things tho.You say you wish this but just wait til YOU get hit with the IDC in the middle of talking about something important to you
Works for the Republicans.
Too real.
Socially acceptable or not, you can still do it, but there will be consequences. My dad would tell me he didn’t care often when I talked to him as a kid, he still does sometimes when I try to tell him something I genuinely think he’ll like, but I rarely try to talk to him anymore.
Back in the 90s (or maybe it was the early 2000s) “talk to the hand” was all the rage.
Fack I’m old.
If you truly don’t care, then you won’t care if it’s socially acceptable.
I can not care about the topic someone is talking about but care about hurting their feelings or damaging my social standings
true zen
i don’t care

You don’t have to listen to people ramble on and their bullshit opinions in real life or online. Just walk away, save yourself time.
AuDHD me on meds “ah fuck, now I have to listen because im too aware that it’s social unacceptable to say I don’t care and bail.”
AuDHD me off meds: “THIS IS BORING LETS TALK ABOUT SOMETHING LIKE SUBMARINES!”
“I HAVE TO POOP.”
You’re welcome.
I have used this. It works.
I’m a fan of:
“I need to go to the toilet, but please, continue while I’m away.”
It’s not?
the people who do it tend to be arsehole edgelords shitting on basic humanity rather than telling cooked fuckers to shut their yaps
Saying “I don’t care” is a bit rude, but its fairly normal to find some excuse and leave the conversation. Go get a refill or drinks, or say hi to someone else and join their conversation.
You can leave politely, you just make up an excuse, it’s total normal human interaction. Even just “hey look I’m really sorry but I really gotta go, we can chat later!” is totally polite.
Where are people’s social skills!
Plus, statements like these are like horoscopes: vague enough that they fit your opinions. But the wish either assumes people think like you do (but then why would you need to do this?) or that you’re special enough to be rude unilaterally. Because people with opinions you don’t agree with would just use the same tactic toward you. E.g. some conservative saying “I don’t care” and leaving every time people try to talk about the importance of not being racist.
well said
Turns around and starts new conversation with people at the party.
well you wouldn’t use that at a party, you’d say “I need to get another drink” or something, disappear for a bit, then “happen” to join another group on the way back
Online communication doesn’t have start and end points like it does in person, so people who socialize more online than in person might struggle with that part of social interaction than others.
Its sort of a double edged sword though, I’m on the other side where I struggle with online communication specifically because of the lack of break points. I find it overwhelming and time consuming compared to talking face to face.
but the break points in online communication are more frequent, longer, and often have no requirement to reply
It depends on the group of people, might be a generational thing, but it seems the people around me expect a daily flood of messages and to be replied back to within 15 minutes of whenever they decide to reach out. It feels like being an on-call therapist sort of, at least for me.
ehh, I think you can set your own expectations with messages. I have friends I know will get back to me quickly, and others that always take ages to respond, you just get used to them
