Ask Lemmy
A Fediverse community for open-ended, thought provoking questions
Rules: (interactive)
1) Be nice and; have fun
Doxxing, trolling, sealioning, racism, toxicity and dog-whistling are not welcomed in AskLemmy. Remember what your mother said: if you can't say something nice, don't say anything at all. In addition, the site-wide Lemmy.world terms of service also apply here. Please familiarize yourself with them
2) All posts must end with a '?'
This is sort of like Jeopardy. Please phrase all post titles in the form of a proper question ending with ?
3) No spam
Please do not flood the community with nonsense. Actual suspected spammers will be banned on site. No astroturfing.
4) NSFW is okay, within reason
Just remember to tag posts with either a content warning or a [NSFW] tag. Overtly sexual posts are not allowed, please direct them to either !asklemmyafterdark@lemmy.world or !asklemmynsfw@lemmynsfw.com.
NSFW comments should be restricted to posts tagged [NSFW].
5) This is not a support community.
It is not a place for 'how do I?', type questions.
If you have any questions regarding the site itself or would like to report a community, please direct them to Lemmy.world Support or email info@lemmy.world. For other questions check our partnered communities list, or use the search function.
6) No US Politics.
Please don't post about current US Politics. If you need to do this, try !politicaldiscussion@lemmy.world or !uspolitics@lemmy.world
7) No Hit-and-Run questions.
Please don't delete your post for no apparent reason. If you plan on deleting a question later, say so in the post, or if you feel that you have a good reason to remove it, message a mod beforehand. It's not fair to the ones who took their time to answer, and it's not in the spirit of the community.
Reminder: The terms of service apply here too.

I don't think it's because people don't care, but it's more that the older you get the more you realize how everyone has baggage and we each have to deal with our own. So not that others don't care, but more that everyone is dealing with something hard and traumatic, and trying not to burden others with it.
I love gen z for how empathetic they are, but I'll be curious to see if it continues through to adulthood.
Recent new hire was "sharing" whatever mental thing he has... At work.
Dude, no need to air your laundry at work - we all got shit to get done and that's not helping. We ALL got shit in our heads, no need to burden anyone else with my shit when they got their own.
Right? Work is not the place for it. If you need a mental health day, take a mental health day. You do what you need to, but I'm here just trying to get through the day.
I've been struggling with a loss recently personally, and took a couple days off for it. My boss knew and approved, but I'm not going to drop that on my coworkers. They have their own stresses and drama, they have their own personal demons they need to work on. Last thing they need is me sadly dumping on them. Friends are friends, coworkers are not.
