  • TikTokers have been sharing "social slights" that are "actually a big deal to them."
  • One person said that someone pulling out their phone is enough to make them stop talking immediately.

TikTokers have been revealing everyday behaviors from friends, acquaintances, family members, and romantic partners that annoy them or hurt their feelings.

In a video posted on August 3, TikToker Tré Vayne, who goes by the username @trevaynebxtch, asked people to share the "smallest social slight" that people feel is actually a big deal to them.

He told viewers that his example is when someone laughs at something on their phone and shows it to other members of the group, but doesn't show it to him.

"Who you show your phone to and who you don't show your phone to shows all I need to know about where we stand," he said. "If you show that phone to multiple people and don't show it to me, you're dead to me."

TikTokers have been stitching his video weighing in with things that people can do to offend them in social situations.

Typing during a conversation.

People taking pictures of you and not even trying.

Calling people out for being quiet.

When a friend doesn't post pictures with you.

When people are inconsiderate of others' experiences.

Not being inclusive in group settings.

People telling you that you "seem like" you would be vegetarian or vegan.

When someone doesn't acknowledge your presence.

When you're hanging out with someone and they want to video call someone while you're there.
