Unpopular Opinion
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/

No it doesn't.
It does, in the sense that I immediately feel unwell. And if I constantly stand by people smoking, the amount of smoke I inhale gets more (obviously) and therefore the effects grow stronger.
So don't keep standing next to them.
" so don't go outside " ok.
Get a good therapist. You're sick.
Stop blaming it on the world and expect everyone else to bend over backwards just because you have a personal problem.
An astonishing amount of arrogance. Let me guess, you've never been in a relationship?
Edit also what an incredibly stupid username you've chosen with that attitude
Telling people they're "sick" on the Internet, because they're opposed to people smoking outside? I feel like you should get a really good therapist...
What's my username got to do with anything?
Also, just for my curiosity, what gender do you think I am (and why), would you have reacted differently if I were the other?
That's not the reason.
Don't need to, I already have an amazing therapist. Why are you implying like having a therapist is something to be ashamed of?
Gender doesn't matter. It's the interpersonal skills you lack.
You didn't answer my question. You made the same idiotic point about therapy, I was making fun of you.
There is a lot of space outside that is not next to a smoker.
Not in the city, the fumes are everywhere
Are you maybe confusing cities with music festivals?
If you want to talk about fumes that are everywhere in a city, better start banning cars.
That too, fuck cars car drivers are so annoying, they think they're entitled to the road just because.
Yeah, that effect is a sensory triggered psychosomatic effect. It doesn't make you physically high,your brain does make you feel similar to it.
The funny thing is: You can even associate your brain with other smells (coffee is a popular one) to trigger that - not that it is a good idea, though.
Anyway: Don't get me wrong, but you might need to seek professional help if you don't have it already.Not because you have that reaction, don't get me wrong. But more because that's almost always another underlying cause and sometimes it's hard for oneself to establish when we need help.
It’s all in your head buddy.
You’re like one of those people who claims a whiff of perfume puts them in bed all day from chemical sensitivities.
Stop trying to pass off your desire to control others as some personal entitlement to never see behavior you dislike.
That's just retching from the god-awful stink.
All the dopeheads really need to know how strongly they smell. Not smoking.... outdoors, with a stiff breeze, you can be 5-10 metres away and still smell it.
It's pungent.
If you want to smoke the stuff, smoke it. Fine by me. Just change your clothes and shower after.
This right here is the problem. Consume if you want but be considerate. Smoke at home, or take edibles if you're going to be out around nonsmokers. There's no need for bringing your stank out in public.
Alright then, I demand that you also imbibe your alcohols at home and clean your cardiovascular system after, so I don't have to be smelling your boozy stank.
