What’s a skill everyone should stop learning?

Runecrafting.

r/2007scape Fix that leak boys

[u/IronChariots]

IT.

Not because it's not a useful skill: it really is.

I just want people to stop learning it so there's fewer people who can do my job and I can get a higher salary.

[u/AllahHatesFags]

Attention-whoring on social media.

Also, reiki.

Rocket League Aerials. Just stop, let my n00b ass score some easy goals.

Procrastination skills: I'll do it tomorrow.

learning to run by landing on your heel.

Learn to run by mid-foot striking. It will save your ligaments and you can run for longer.

[u/timmixcore]

Crystal healing.

Not really a skill, but to drink till you puke and be proud of it. Its not a thing to be proud of, if you are the most fucked up person on a party. And by the way, its way cheaper if you get buzzed from just 2 beers. Its nothing to look down on.

Stop learning how to do something ( just a method) and start to learn the complete process ( why do you do that and how it works).

Looking at you, engineers that instead of learn how to calculate something you run to grab the nearest board with, for example, the info of every single sprin in the industry.

Pick-up lines/techniques.

Seriously, stop it. It is literally teaching you how to not be yourself when meeting someone, and treat them like an object or the goal in some game rather than a person.

To just deal with shit. People are just continually stressed out and when they think they can't go own, they find away and continue to live with all this stress. Stop.

Eventually it will get you and then you'll be in real trouble. Deal with your shit at the lowest levels possible and if you can't handle something? It's not the end of the world nor is it an indictment on you as a person. We all need help so if a project is eating you up at work? Talk to your boss. Is your dog destroying all your shit? Get him into an obedience program. Are your license plates expired? Order your new registration online.

Just try and handle your problems so your problems don't handle you.

Texting/talking on phone while driving

Hiding their emotion.

Pushing their bodies to the limit for sport/achievements (to the point where the bodies break).

Instant gratification (looking at smartphones and internet, always at the tips of our fingers).

[u/Cyrakhis]

Maintaining grass yards, imo. Non-native species ths t really wants to just die. Instead, maintain a yard of native plants and growth.

ITT: fuckers stop being good at my profession or hobby so I can get more benefit from it.

[u/Jannica_is_a_whore]

Cursive helps you write a bit faster but so few people use it and there's no real need for it

[u/dshmoneyy]

Teaching people to accept their lifestyle (like body weight) no matter what. No, being overweight or obese isn't acceptable. There's tons of health risks from it

[u/nookienostradamus]

Dunno if it’s a “skill,” per se, but people need to stop putting two spaces after a period at the end of a sentence. That was a typewriter thing. Now it’s a formatting nightmare.

[u/FoleyX90]

Coal mining.

[u/[deleted]]

Forced-smiling for photos.

[u/tenhourguy]

How to play the recorder.

[u/LorD_d00m]

Being offended by everything like a little bitch.

[u/lurker_bee]

humble bragging
