Yeah, having a friend that I clearly can't just say "it wasn't that funny to me, but I'm glad you liked it" and have it be okay.
I thought shit posts were supposed to be funny, this is just sad.

Showing a video you genuinely find funny to your best hommie just to be forced to watch him obviously pretending to laugh for two minutes.
I learnt to never do this, as I realized I hate when they do it to me. I just send the link and they can watch it when they want
Even better when they're pretending to laugh when you're showing them a sad video
This is why I wanted to answer
Childhood cancer is probably a close second
yeah I hate having to force laughter at childhood cancer
You're forcing laughter?
Jesus Christ Lemmy
So apparently telling your friend or acquaintance you don't share their particular sense of humour is worse?
I guess I shouldn't overthink a shitpost, but is it really such a social faux pas to tell someone your tastes are different from theirs? I just wonder if this is a cultural thing that I'm too Dutch to get, or if it's more of a I'm-too-socially-awkward-to-have-an-opinion-of-my-own kind of thing?
Might perhaps be your father who otherwise gets mad at you for rest of the day, and you still get uncomfortable from whatever shit he says even though it objectively isn't anything more than a bunch of crap.
You know, like when he notices you aren't absolutely rolling with laughter:
(While full-force tapping back button on his phone) OK, you don't have to pretend like you care
"I just..."
Leave me alone! You won't even watch anything with me. Am I really that bad? I must be worse than Hitler. All I ever wanted was to have a family, but I guess I wanted too much. FUCK! What did I do to deserve this? I was growing up with a father who beat me and never cared about me. Perhaps I should have been like that, and then you would've liked me.
(Yelling at dog) Get away from me! You don't have to pretend to like me either.
Just forward the video. Then they can type "lol" without having to watch it.
lol
Never be the person showing memes at the party.
Try to imagine a party where phones aren't allowed.
No one taking pictures or video, everyone talking to each other in the moment, just for the moment, just for each other.
Our very own John Lennon
I remember. When they didn't have their phone, they often smoked or drank beer. Try to find friends that can party sober and be present, it's the best.
Having to watch an ad first.
Allow me to introduce you to:
Friend that sends 3+ min voice messages in a group chat and ask for feedback about it.
Thatβs an insane thing to do lawl. If someone sends me a voice message in a text thread, I just say βyou gotta type that out!β
Having someone in your life that cares and is comfortable enough to share their interests and joy with you?
So horrible.
Yes, I know where this was posted.
NOOO its a shitppstttt that means nobody should habe anything to say or think about it!! You just don't get it.. Its not that serious man
Watching a friend show a video of children and having to pretend to be amused
When the toddler watches your eyes for half the time. "Watch! You're not looking!"
I do this to my family, probably I should stop... I won't though. π«Ά
I am low vision so I can't see a phone unless it's nice and close.
This fact has saved me from many of these situations. If they are extra insistent I tell them to send me the link and reply with a laugh emoji as is expected in our culture.
It's this what youngsters do these days instead of cocaine?
They rack up the lines off the phone as the video is playing
What do you mean instead?
Yeah. Complaining about it to strangers.
This has the same energy of being around a group of close friends that youβre not particularly close with and theyβre all laughing about some inside joke that only the group can understand and Iβm just like wtf this is not even remotely funny
Leprosy.
Being forced to watch a 3 minute video, obviously.
