Poor social skills Vs misanthropes

I find this sub really useful in terms of improving social skills of all kinds. But what's with the vaguely misanthropic posts? 'i hate small talk', 'i find xyz type of person annoying' etc. What's the point of posting that? You can't be advised out of disliking something and there's a massive difference between 'I hate X's and 'I'm terrible at X but want to get better'. Maybe we need a 2nd sub-Reddit for that stuff.

Don't get me wrong, there are types of people and types of social situations I plain don't like. But a lot of these posts seem more like venting than people wanting advice.

ok but like social interaction in general is just 🤮

why would you go out of your way to purposefully interact with shitty human beings?

I guess you need to work out who the non-shitty ones are.

I think we can all agree we'd rather sit at home in our dark bedrooms talking to LLMs on janitorai

Is this a r/whooosh situation with the downvotes?
