If you truly don’t care, then you won’t care if it’s socially acceptable.
true zen
I can not care about the topic someone is talking about but care about hurting their feelings or damaging my social standings
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.
“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.”
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

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.

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.

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.

Turns around and starts new conversation with people at the party.

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!”
Back in the 90s (or maybe it was the early 2000s) “talk to the hand” was all the rage.
Fack I’m old.
Oh shit, it isn’t?
Is it considered rude?
That would explain some things tho.It is socially acceptable. Either conversations are consensual and it is fine to express your feelings or the conversation is not consensual and you are free to throw it out like a Molotov cocktail with a middle finger in the air…
It is once you turn like forty.
Nothing is stopping you.
If anyone tries to stop you, maybe you can just say “I don’t care” and walk away. See, it works for everything! #lifehacks
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.
lol, I have some Eastern European friends … they really don’t care, I love it.
It’s not? Hmm, that might explain a few things.
Plane rides used to be like this. People not shutting up even when you have a book open and are looking at it and not them.
