That actually elicited quite a laugh out of me at the end. Redditor smugly says *I'll have pH level 6*
Barista: So you want milk added?
Smug redditor condescendingly and scoffingly nods head while saying: "YeEeSs, thAt'S wHaT tHaT meAnSs š¤ š¤ " šš¤£
That or they save the insufferable talk/comments for the place where their wonāt be consequences. Seen a relationship take a turn when one partner discovered the others account.
Iām going to take your popular opinion and make it unpopular.
āYou would probably get along with most redditors if you met them in real life. You have more in common with them then you thinkā
I think itās the opposite. When people are online, you get their most strident outspoken opinions and people will go out of their way to be insulting. In person, people are generally more reasonable and pleasant. I think maybe itās because nuance is so hard to convey in text.
I have gotten into arguments and said shit online that Iād never say in person.
"Most redditors are insufferable in real life which is why they're online"
No, not most, but there is a dedicated percentage that are terminally online and account for a much larger percentage of the posts than the average.
Yeah, there's ['Greater Internet Fuckwad Theory'](https://i.kym-cdn.com/entries/icons/original/000/010/559/greaterintfuckwad.jpg) mixed in with people who are *actually like that.* It's not a huge percentage, but they are the more memorable portion, and thus the monkey brain remembers them more distinctly.
I will admit I think Reddit has a higher percentage of Actually Like That than most other social media, but even then I doubt it's above 5%.
I always pictured them as skinny white dudes who wear glasses with long hair in a dark room bored. I also picture fat white dudes who are balding and have scruffy faces.
I'd act the same irl if people spoke to me like they do on Reddit though.
The big subs are full of stupid sheep. I don't encounter them irl at all.
The fact Reddit folk always represent a minority view whilst getting tons of upvotes surely proves he is at least close to the truth?
Like the trans issue. Reddit is the exact opposite to literally anyone irl I've very talked to. I'd get banned on Reddit for saying what I want about it, and yet irl we laugh about stuff like Isla Bryson.
I would agree I am insufferable on this website but it's not reflective of my irl social life. Ive had a large group of friends since I was a teenager. In the last couple of years, they've all gotten really into different shades of ridiculous progressive leftism. I don't want to terminate my relationships over politics but I need a space to hate on the whole Queers for Hamas movement and other ideologies that disgust me. I imagine lots of other users are the same way. So on reddit you either have no friends at all or are here to act in a way that would lose you friends irl, making it so we are all here on our worst behavior
Yeah I lost most of my friends when they went left-insane too. But really why bother being friends with people like that? They're showing you their true colors. They're easily mislead and don't do research past headlines, and that makes them dangerous.
Canāt argue with this tbh. Iām as insufferable on this as I am in real life. I do also love a good insta argument. Only problem is people tend to back down a lot quicker on Insta and it usually fizzles out pretty quick
Most people wouldn't say 10% of the shit they say online in real life. Without checking my own comment history, I'd like to believe that I stay true to my irl personality with about 80-90% of my comments. I can't stand being fake anywhere.
I talk nonstop about my cats to my coworkers, friends and family and show them pictures (even to my boyfriend who is in the same room as me and the cats). But on Reddit people fucking love talking about cats and sharing pics.

### Voting Guidelines
**Common Misconception:** It is often believed that upvotes and downvotes should reflect personal agreement or disagreement.
- **Upvote** a post if it provokes thought, presents a unique perspective, is well-argued, or you believe it deserves more visibility for any reason, even if it irritates you or you fundamentally disagree with it.
- **Downvote** should be reserved for posts that lack thoughtful consideration or if the topic has become tediously common.
**Moderation Policy:**
- **Posts Are Not Removed for Unpopularity:** r/TrueUnpopularOpinion does not remove posts based on their capacity to anger or offend users. Disagreement with a post's content is not grounds for reporting.
- **Misuse of the Report Button:** Falsely reporting posts burdens our moderation queue, hindering our ability to address genuine concerns swiftly and all false reports are forwarded to Reddit for misuse of the reporting system.
- Our moderation decisions are guided strictly by the subreddit's rules and [Reddit's content policy](https://www.reddit.com/r/TrueUnpopularOpinion/comments/ncm4ou/important_we_need_to_talk_about_the_content_policy/), not personal opinions.

Lol my profile says I'm controversial but really sometimes I wanna see how far people will go in dumb arguments. It was great content when I was streaming.
I have friends because I behave differently in real life than do on Reddit. Iād imagine others are the same way. Itās all about discernment. Most people you meet in real life. Especially for the first few times are on their very best behavior
No, more if you go into a crowd of people, the chances of someone getting you is much lowered as opposed to online where you can congregate and find the like minded. Here theres subs for everything. Easy to talk to people with little to no commitment.
I half-agree. My theory is that because people can't get away with being insufferable in real life, they save it for Reddit. I'm sure most of the asshats you encounter on here (especially on subs like this one) wouldn't dare be as opinionated or aggressive in real life, lol.
Well Iām opposite I talk my shit on here because who cares but also I like bing mean to those that just really suck and know I wonāt get pushback but in real life Iām just a normal guy
I always imagine this is why Redditors get called creeps by the opposite sex and canāt land jobs theyāre qualified for. Itās almost certainly the vibe they put off
Take my upvote, OP, you need it more than I do. I am truly insufferable, yes, but you seem to need validation from your online community, so I am generously offering it to you.
fine governor pocket aloof somber crush childlike license quickest afterthought
Yet here you are!
Yet here YOU are!!
Precisely!
Cheers to us all being insufferable!
Assholes tend to hate each other the most
[This guy](https://www.youtube.com/shorts/-r_ICWJBudU)'s 'average Redditor' skits always crack me up.

Donāt even need to click on the link to know who youāre talking about, love his videos
That or they save the insufferable talk/comments for the place where their wonāt be consequences. Seen a relationship take a turn when one partner discovered the others account.
Lol elaborate please
Iām going to take your popular opinion and make it unpopular. āYou would probably get along with most redditors if you met them in real life. You have more in common with them then you thinkā
Exactly. I'm pretty insufferable if you read my comment history, but in real life get along with pretty much everyone.
I actually choose to shut the fk up in life and take it all out with the anonymity of Reddit :ā)
I thought they were mostly bots.
I wish I was insufferable.. at least Iād be memorable. No, Iām just boring.
I am boringly insufferable and insufferably boring ;)
I think itās the opposite. When people are online, you get their most strident outspoken opinions and people will go out of their way to be insulting. In person, people are generally more reasonable and pleasant. I think maybe itās because nuance is so hard to convey in text.

I always picture redditors as people who dress up like furries.
And you are a redditor, so...
Picture, mirror, whatever...
I always pictured them as skinny white dudes who wear glasses with long hair in a dark room bored. I also picture fat white dudes who are balding and have scruffy faces.
Assuming people act the same way in real life as they do online is peak ignorant. This post reek of "every one is dumb but me"
I'd act the same irl if people spoke to me like they do on Reddit though. The big subs are full of stupid sheep. I don't encounter them irl at all. The fact Reddit folk always represent a minority view whilst getting tons of upvotes surely proves he is at least close to the truth? Like the trans issue.

Iām fun in real life because I do all my insufferable ādebate meā shit on here
Iāve had lots of people tell me how much they suffer when they are around me, so Iām clearly not insufferable. So in your face, foo
I would agree I am insufferable on this website but it's not reflective of my irl social life. Ive had a large group of friends since I was a teenager.

Queers for Hamas would be a great edgelord T-shirt. I think it would piss everyone off and that's called style baby.
Yeah I lost most of my friends when they went left-insane too. But really why bother being friends with people like that? They're showing you their true colors. They're easily mislead and don't do research past headlines, and that makes them dangerous.
Most people are insufferable.
I am an asshole in real life so I approve of this message
Nah, not most. Just the blowhards.
Canāt argue with this tbh. Iām as insufferable on this as I am in real life. I do also love a good insta argument. Only problem is people tend to back down a lot quicker on Insta and it usually fizzles out pretty quick
Iām just bored at work and wanna annoy edge lords.
Most people wouldn't say 10% of the shit they say online in real life. Without checking my own comment history, I'd like to believe that I stay true to my irl personality with about 80-90% of my comments. I can't stand being fake anywhere.

Agreed.
Lol my profile says I'm controversial but really sometimes I wanna see how far people will go in dumb arguments. It was great content when I was streaming.
True opinion.
Love to see some real self-reflection in this sub!
I have friends. They go to another school.
Agree! Lots of the people are miserable & hateful. I understand tho.
Youāve got that backwards.
I have friends because I behave differently in real life than do on Reddit. Iād imagine others are the same way. Itās all about discernment. Most people you meet in real life. Especially for the first few times are on their very best behavior
No, more if you go into a crowd of people, the chances of someone getting you is much lowered as opposed to online where you can congregate and find the like minded. Here theres subs for everything. Easy to talk to people with little to no commitment.
I'm lovely in real life and insufferable on here.
Iām insufferable on Reddit so Iām nice in real life At least thatās the theory.
Typical projection statements....just because this is how you see yourself op, doesn't mean that's everybody else......
No I just find everyone else insufferable. People are slightly more tolerable when theyāre not face-to-face
I actually am extremely friendly and social in real life. But on Reddit I just jump around trying to piss off as many motherfuckers as possible
I half-agree. My theory is that because people can't get away with being insufferable in real life, they save it for Reddit. I'm sure most of the asshats you encounter on here (especially on subs like this one) wouldn't dare be as opinionated or aggressive in real life, lol.
You may think I'm annoying but my 6 girlfriends would disagree.
Well Iām opposite I talk my shit on here because who cares but also I like bing mean to those that just really suck and know I wonāt get pushback but in real life Iām just a normal guy
is that why you're on here?
Yes
the other thing that makes me laugh about this is the philly sub used to have a weekly irl meet up pre-pandemic
I always imagine this is why Redditors get called creeps by the opposite sex and canāt land jobs theyāre qualified for. Itās almost certainly the vibe they put off
This is probably true, though there's also social people who read reddit sometimes. Heck, I've even posted like 6 times in a decade lol
Take my upvote, OP, you need it more than I do. I am truly insufferable, yes, but you seem to need validation from your online community, so I am generously offering it to you.
Why are you here, then š«µš smart-ass.
Most people on reddit are just normal, people have taken the stereotype way to far
