to the people that are defending the bullies... not all bullies are also having a bad life, some people just like to hurt others, life isnt a dhar mann video...

I believe looks matter as a first impression for sure!! We are all attracted by the looks at first we can't help it cause we don't know anything about the other person! But wait until that extremely good looking person opens the mouth and says: "well, i don't really believe in vaccines and this staff"

Yeah, I don't really believe in karma. If there was karma, how come so many really good people get screwed?

Money may not buy happiness but it relieves a lot of the stresses that get in the way of happiness.

Toxic positivity diminishes the seriousness and weight of whatever your going through.

And you can be happy without that someone

Universe: hold my beer!

Well done, you should be proud.

A person telling "their truth" us just as fallible as anyone and as likely to misjudge situation. These woke kids who believe anyone who "speaks their truth" will have a lot to unlearn.

Ugh. I hate this one so much. Same as “it’s gods plan” Like it was Gods plan for children to be molested? Or Oopsie, His bad, the Holocaust didn’t go as planned? What is the reason for horrible things to happen to innocent lives?

This is so me. I just want more than 3 hours of uninterrupted sleep at night. Brain, please, just stop and let me sleep!

There were days when they were younger and more idealistic and had fewer responsibilities. Good ole days are unique and personal and can never be returned to.

"If the punishment is a fine, it's legal for rich people"

Religion is both the reason and the excuse for just about every war that has been fought.

Well f**k... I already think I'm stupid

I have encountered SO many people old enough to be my mum or dad but who act like they're thirteen.

It got better for me! Never to the point of being rich and beautiful or famous or anything, but some good thing have happened for me. And I gave *made* other good things happen.

If that were truly the case civilisation would not have survived. The margin may be small, but on balance more people have to be altruistic in order for society to function. Yes, everyone is selfish, but that doesn't mean everyone is unkind. If everyone, *everyone* you meet is unkind, either you are (sub) consciously only remembering the unkind and forgetting the kind, or at worst neutral, OR the common factor is you.

The thruth is that most pwople dont even make the effort or want to help. Most dont want to be around unsuccessful, ill or depresed people because they get uncomfortable. They shut us up with toxic positivity (you have so many options, others have it worse), indiference, attacks (you are being too begative) or they simply leave you

I suffered anxiety for years and years, tried everything (therapy, CBT, DBT, inpatient stays etc) finally had a blood test and was found to be severely anaemic, low vitamin d and b12. A few months after starting iron and vitamin tablets I am like an absolutely new person, I can't actually believe it. Im so angry at all the "professionals" that tried to tell me I was "mentally ill", it was all a load of crap. Made me lose faith in all medical professionals now.

This is so true. As a parent to someone with a learning disability and mental health struggles, I'll admit I'm not qualified to know the answers and have resources to help. But I do know it's incredibly helpful to show care, concern and understanding, and be there to lend an ear. Just be careful not to let someone's struggles affect your mental health.

When I try to reach out to someone because I am depressed, anxious and really in bad state, what I usually get is "I had worse", "you are fine", "just cheer up", " you don't need anyone, you are enough" (said by a person who can not stand to be alone for 2 hours), "you are so spoiled", "lets not talk about serious or negative stuff", and similar pearls of wisdom. The truth is no one cares.

my parents try, but they don't always notice things. i have been depressed since i was at least 7 years old, quite possibly earlier. the youngest i remember suicidal thoughts is age 6. it's not entirely my parents' fault (genetics) but they don't help either: they guilt me, gaslight me, throw the Torah in my face (don't get me wrong, I love my religion, but parents I am honoring you), give me no respect, don't listen to explanations, and are lax on medical care sometimes (i have needed PT for my hips for literal months. no pt yet). i know they lov eme and try their best, but they're part of the problem.

This is bang on. Family and friends, unless they have had an education in mental health they will do more harm than good

No it doesn't. I'm so glad for the uprise of workers not just settling. We need to remember to work to live, not live to work.

So sad and so true.

Doing your best=somewhere better than where you're at now, even if it's just by 0.001%*

But there's a gorge between "can" and "will".

Oh man, I'm sorry for your losses, OP.

Its not romanticized, its feeling like you actually did something because other wise you could be jerking off at home and not sitting at work doing nothing

But I still enjoy the fantasy, even though I know thats not how real life works.

It was never about "them." It was always about "you." Don't worry about "them"

Yep-usually that on coming train.
