Oof acknowledges someone’s feelings, and bruh expresses empathy. These sentiments are important and often overlooked. You don’t have to always launch into your own story. Simply acknowledging and empathizing is a powerful way to build social bonds.
Also brevity is the soul of wit, so oof and bruh might qualify as the greatest things anyone has ever said in history.
Yes, not every talk is a conversation! Maybe I just want to vent and not to hear.
Does bruh express empathy? I've always read bruh as "bruh what are you doing" in a lot of contexts. But I can't really say it's something I use much.
Context is key. It can express empathy, or disappointment, or awe.
Context is always key.
I think it depends on how you pronounce it and context. I'm used to hearing a shorter bruh with a look attached to it as a question for "what are you doing?" vs a longer bruh like "bruuuuuuh" as empathizing like "that's rough".
I bring you: broof
contributes confusion to the conversation
Shortened form of brohoof
Which in turn was a nickname for Ooferson Bruholomew.
Boof: To abuse any licit or illicit substance via insertion into one's rectum.
Broof: To abuse any licit or illicit substance via insertion into your bro's rectum.
Me when the next generation comes up with slang and I don't like it:
Showing empathy is a valuable contribution.
Not only that, but acknowledging you heard the one speaking in a quick, unobstrusive, uninterrupting way.
Me being equally useless with "oof bruh".
Equally useless? More like twice as useless, you mean!
Teach me your ways, master
That's easy. But you had to have been dropped on your head when you were a baby
My friends mom dropped plates on his head when he was kid. Does that count?

"I acknowledge that I could interject my own thoughts here, but choose not to. Please continue with that topic, I am interested."
Of course, doesn't work as well in online forums.

bros never heard about phatic expressions💀
In my college Sociology class, my professor ran us through a couple situations, then ran them back for us. Gender-wise, women tended to make small interjections, nod their heads, etc, as the conversation went among, to indicate that they were listening. Which apparently leads into two "classic" complaints between M/F partners.
Men tended to think that women were "always changing their minds", because the men interpreted the women's nods and interjections as agreement instead of "I'm listening to you".
And women tended to think that men "weren't listening to them" because men never provided this feedback.
Dude..
