  • I don’t know if I was insinuating that your experience here is your fault as much as I was giving explicit reasons why it’s probably your fault.

    I’m sure if I told him I won’t move, I would be labelled as aggressive, uncooperative and problem creating.

    Labelled by who? The stranger who wants your table? And then what? And why do you care? This is all you, trying to people please and avoid conflict. Assertiveness is a skill you can learn and would go a long way toward helping you with the problem you’re describing.


  • Based on your comments here, and your post history, it sounds like you may live somewhere with an awful culture. It also sounds like you’re really negative and disdainful of others, and also pretty passive, being willing to move twice for strangers who wanted your table. All this sets you up for a bad time.

    The way to not be bullied is to not let yourself be bullied. Don’t give someone else the power to decide how you feel. Laugh at them or ignore them and move on instead of dwelling in anger or resentment.

    I live in the US, and while bullying does happen, it’s far outside the norm. I’ve never experienced it in my professional life, and instances even when I worked retail and grocery when I was younger were always addressed. Bullying is something children do, and adults with personality problems.









  • You apparently skipped over all the words before and after what you quoted:

    With many women no longer willing to accept ghosting, noncommitment, and harassment, men may be forced to change their ways or face being shut out of the dating pool. By and large, Reeves says the men he has spoken to understand this; they know what not to do — “don’t mansplain, don’t be toxic, don’t be a predator … don’t be a creep” — but they’re at a loss for what is acceptable when trying to date.

    “You can see a little bit of risk aversion among young men,” Reeves says. “Partly because they are largely, and I think incorrectly, worried about the risks that are going to come from putting yourself out there.”

    All social interaction carries some form of risk, a potential for rejection, but the alternatives to dating available in the modern dating landscape make putting yourself out there even less appealing.

    It goes on


  • YouTube says the policy will combat “egregious” clickbait that misleads viewers, with a particular focus on videos related to “breaking news” or “current events.” The company’s examples of egregious clickbait include a video with the title “the president resigned!” that doesn’t actually address a resignation or a “top political news” thumbnail attached to a video with no news content.

    This is only going to target garbage-level content. You can still expect the same clickbait-style titles and thumbnails from established creators
