Welcome to the Unpopular Opinion community!

How voting works:

Vote the opposite of the norm.

If you agree that the opinion is unpopular give it an arrow up. If it's something that's widely accepted, give it an arrow down.

Guidelines:

Tag your post, if possible (not required)

If your post is a "General" unpopular opinion, start the subject with [GENERAL].
If it is a Lemmy-specific unpopular opinion, start it with [LEMMY].

Rules:

1. NO POLITICS

Politics is everywhere. Let's make this about [general] and [lemmy] - specific topics, and keep politics out of it.

2. Be civil.

Disagreements happen, but that doesn’t provide the right to personally attack others. No racism/sexism/bigotry. Please also refrain from gatekeeping others' opinions.

3. No bots, spam or self-promotion.

Only approved bots, which follow the guidelines for bots set by the instance, are allowed.

4. Shitposts and memes are allowed but...

Only until they prove to be a problem. They can and will be removed at moderator discretion.

5. No trolling.

This shouldn't need an explanation. If your post or comment is made just to get a rise with no real value, it will be removed. You do this too often, you will get a vacation to touch grass, away from this community for 1 or more days. Repeat offenses will result in a perma-ban.

6. Defend your opinion

This is a bit of a mix of rules 4 and 5 to help foster higher quality posts. You are expected to defend your unpopular opinion in the post body. We don't expect a whole manifesto (please, no manifestos), but you should at least provide some details as to why you hold the position you do.

Instance-wide rules always apply. https://legal.lemmy.world/tos/

Socializing in College is not hard. (lemmy.world)

Yep just as the title says; it is not hard to socialize in college. It’s actually really easy to socialize in college, go to student areas where socializing is, and simply have a good time.

I don’t know where most of this whole fear of public rejection came from but it’s college, you’re not gonna get made fun of in college. If you do you can easily tell someone to go fuck themselves.

At the very least, you can deal with randos in the plaza of whatever college you are at. You don’t even have to talk about anything super niche, just talk about what’s happening in school or whatever local baseball or sport it is.

Ah wait, you have to actually take note of what’s happening around the college town you’re in, so you’re gonna have to maybe look around or read the school newspaper.

You’re in college. On campus, you can at least try to be socialize or else you’re gonna be those anti social morons at your future job who ignores you when you try to be nice to them.

I dunno, #1 gets kinda weird when you ask someone if they want to come over to your house and play when you're both 20+. Seems to go really bad, or really good. Although we never even got my Matchbox collection out... I think they might just be using me 🤔

Matchbox is pretty hardcore. I usually lead with coffee or a beer after work.

Although now that I think about it...to match up with grade school you should ask everyone at the office to your birthday party and see who shows up. You should also give everyone a Valentine 😏
