r/PointlessStories is a subreddit with 321k members. The most common kinds of discussions are pain & anger and advice requests, and the community frequently discusses hate, worst, annoying, friend, and struggling.
Where storytellers of all kinds share the stories that no one really needs to hear, or just don’t fit in anywhere else.
Pointless doesn’t mean boring. It means “without purpose or utility.” We want the stories that you wanted to tell, but just didn’t have a reason to. Until now. Sometimes, the stories that don't matter are the ones that matter the most.
