Comment on cool

Oof acknowledges someone’s feelings, and bruh expresses empathy. These sentiments are important and often overlooked. You don’t have to always launch into your own story. Simply acknowledging and empathizing is a powerful way to build social bonds.

Also brevity is the soul of wit, so oof and bruh might qualify as the greatest things anyone has ever said in history.

Yes, not every talk is a conversation! Maybe I just want to vent and not to hear.

Does bruh express empathy? I’ve always read bruh as “bruh what are you doing” in a lot of contexts. But I can’t really say it’s something I use much.

  Context is key. It can express empathy, or disappointment, or awe.
  
  Context is always key.

  I think it depends on how you pronounce it and context. I’m used to hearing a shorter bruh with a look attached to it as a question for “what are you doing?” vs a longer bruh like “bruuuuuuh” as empathizing like “that’s rough”.

In an in person conversation, that’s definitely true. Not so much online though.
