That’s the key. I LOVE explaining things I’m passionate about but it’s rude to just go wild on people, so I’ve developed a process to gauge familiarity and interest.

Show the baby MC Escher drawings, shame it horribly for not following along, and in 22-24 years you may have a physicist!
Awww, I’ll be your data dump buddy! I’ll tell you all about freshwater fish, brewing rice wine, and woodworking in great detail if you’ll tell me your things in equal detail.

At least it didn’t birth 40 single word replies, probably because condoms were involved.

It probably utilizes flavors found in hamburgers.
SoleInvictus@lemmy.blahaj.zoneto Lemmy Shitpost@lemmy.world•its painful each time (┬┬﹏┬┬)2·3 days agoThis is great advice. I want to add that it helps to have the necessary social skills to make those friends. I highly recommend Dale Carnegie’s How to Make Friends and Influence People. It’s old and a bit hokey but the advice is solid. It helped me grow from being awkward and largely friendless to awkward with a few friends!
SoleInvictus@lemmy.blahaj.zoneto Lemmy Shitpost@lemmy.world•its painful each time (┬┬﹏┬┬)5·3 days agoI have a similar rule I call the 2/3 rule. I’m willing to put in around 2/3 of the effort required to keep any sort of relationship going. If the other person consistently can’t put in 1/3, I’ll be cordial but won’t otherwise do anything more for them than I’d do for a stranger.
SoleInvictus@lemmy.blahaj.zoneto No Stupid Questions@lemmy.world•How active is too active while being on lemmy?6·3 days agoTl;Dr: be nice, engage in content, and don’t troll, and most people won’t be bothered.
It likely won’t annoy anyone unless your content itself is actively bothering people. A certain fungally named user posts and comments constantly and I typically enjoy their content, while another brachycephalic canid religious savior does the same but constantly stirred shit so went on my block list. Content good, melodrama bad. People will like you if you are reasonably kind, respectful, and genuine.
Usage time really is a personal choice. I track my usage and keep it to 1.5 hours (2.5 on occasion, like if I’m sick) or less daily. Otherwise, it starts to adversely affect my mental health and personal relations.

SoleInvictus@lemmy.blahaj.zoneto Games@lemmy.world•The Star Wars Outlaws flop - Guillemot blames waning interest in the franchiseEnglish12·5 days agoYeah, the Baby Yoda Show was its last dying gasp for me. I see the same pattern in most industries: something is profitable, so lean hard into it until the bubble bursts. It’s great for short-term profits but bad for long term and worse overall. I’m not particularly intelligent or educated in business but even I can see this is a terrible strategy.
I agree 100%. If I want help with something, people are generally kind and helpful on Lemmy. The worst that typically happens is no one responds.
On Reddit, asking for help in a sub specifically created for these requests usually results in being downvoted heavily. I might get a response or even a few, but it’s not uncommon to also get mocked and trolled unless my request is unusually interesting.
I recall being in a tough spot in a previous relationship and asking for advice. I got some helpful advice but it also resulted in one user mocking me and encouraging suicide and another user attempting to dox me.
He was clearly guilty of a DWB.
