Comic Strips is a community for those who love comic stories.
The rules are simple:
- The post can be a single image, an image gallery, or a link to a specific comic hosted on another site (the author's website, for instance).
- The comic must be a complete story.
- If it is an external link, it must be to a specific story, not to the root of the site.
- You may post comics from others or your own.
- If you are posting a comic of your own, a maximum of one per week is allowed (I know, your comics are great, but this rule helps avoid spam).
- The comic can be in any language, but if it's not in English, OP must include an English translation in the post's 'body' field (note: you don't need to select a specific language when posting a comic).
- Politeness.
- Adult content is not allowed. This community aims to be fun for people of all ages.

This is something that idk if I'll ever get used to about lemmy
It's a meme. It's a joke. It's deliberately blown out of proportion.
Y'all need to calm tf down.
so.. instead of discussing this... we should what? Post lol in all our coments?
lol
lol
Lol this is the way /s
No but the amount of people practically shitting themselves over someone's social anxiety about phone calls is a little overdramatic.
Gee, it sounds like you have no idea what it's like to have a panic attack or anxiety attack.
Who are you arguing for here?
me and other people like me who are often misunderstood when having a panic attack.
I'm literally making that same argument.
People are freaking out because other people have social anxiety and don't like phone calls and it's pathetic
No.. we are not on the same page. It is not "pathetic" to have phone anxiety.
MY FUCKING GUY I'M SAYING THE REACTION TO PEOPLE LIKE YOU IN THIS THREAD IS PATHETIC
I HAVE FUCKING SOCIAL ANXIETY. I FUCKING HATE ANSWERING PHONE CALLS
BRRRRRROOOTHERRRR
Most of the comments I saw were talking about having phone anxiety though.
So who are you talking about?
When I first made the comment that started this whole chain the majority of the comments were calling people who act like that towards phone calls pathetic.
I see it now. My mind didn't auto correct the someone's to someone else's so it didn't read right to me.
Hint: the phone call is not the problem.
not sure what you're talking about. My phone anxiety was always based around the phone and making phone calls.
That's the symptom.
so?
Good luck with life <3
I think it's this thing?
🗿
Lol i kinda enjoy the weirdly serious discussions about shitposts. Its both absurd and oddly insightful at times.
Lemmys will follow any topic over the edge of a cliff :P
Pun intended
Always lol
In my direct experience (albeit anecdotal) this is not simply a joke, but reality. So many of my colleagues have this fear, especially the younger ones, and with everyone demanding full remote it fucks my shit up real bad when they won't even answer the damn phone.
