Ever felt obligated to hang out with someone you don't like, because you have social anxiety and can't bring yourself to ignore them because this triggers said anxiety?
- We initially bonded talking about music, he then started to reveal som low key racist / misogynistic opinions. He likes Trump (a rarity in Denmark). ＞﹏＜jagara
- I see him every day at work, and he always sits down with me at lunch.jagara
- Tell him you're pro Palestine, it worked for me.palimpsest

- < not that severe :Djagara
- wild not having the balls to call a MAGAt a MAGAtimbecile
- I did tell him in no uncertain terms how much I dislike Trump.jagara
- thank goodnessimbecile
- I would also like to be able to read the rulers without a microscopesrhadden
- flol, sausages, beat me to the punch. Pull the plug, it's not worth it.garbage
- My best friend from childhood (20 years or so) went a bit nuts. For years he'd be the first person I had a meal with when I flew back to town.garbage
- He then started spamming me with things like "abortion mill" and Sandy Hook conspiracy theories. I completely peaced.garbage
- I know it's not the same thing, but you are under no obligation to be social with anybody you don't want to, period.garbage

- I think it’s you who is making this an issue. He might have good reason to like trump, and it might not be the reason you ascribe to it.monNom
- The guy seems to be fine that you don’t like trump. Maybe you agree to disagree. Sounds a bit like methodists fighting with lutherans to me.monNom
- I mean. Imagine if you changed his mind?monNom
- Why do you think I continue to visit QBN?Nairn
- I learnt something recently that I value highly. You don't need to be friends with everyone you meet. I don't mean that like you need to learn to love psychos,skinny_puppy
- but more importantly some relationships are fine being distant. When you meet someone and you have a conversation doesn't mean you are on a rail of becoming bffskinny_puppy
- Some relationships are 100% ok just being distant. I am probably a freak for saying this, but most of my life I did not realise this. Massive weight off of me.skinny_puppy
- ^ My case was extreme. He was casually threatening to kill me, institutionalized several times, has since joined a cult. Distant wasn't an option, clean cut.garbage
- @skinny I know, and I agree. But social anxiety makes me want to please people because I am terrified of confrontation. Working on it ;)jagara
- Fucking social anxiety. Been working on it with a CBT therapist recently. It helps, but takes effort and time.skinny_puppy
