    u now what? no. this is too edgy. i will not entertain the idea of people saying this out loud while not feeling like they are underselling the pooroff-being of others. besides i guess if they really are bad off, in which case they probably don’t complain about it like this… idk tho, not therapist yet

            well that would of course be very bad!!! then they’d be bad off and i’d feel sad for em. i would hope that they can get help soon, while also trying not to understate ones own position… this is hard! peeps all around the world are feeling horrible, and someone saying ooh nuu i'm feeling broken inside while sounding like a 14-yearold, idk… i think this phrase has been killed for me, because of the many peeps i have had contact which who really were just being depressed for the joke like my brother. it always made me go grrr, i feel bad for actualy depressed peeps, they must feel so awful knowing that others make fun of their situation.

            Kinda like how being autistic became a trend some time apparently? Like - what was the point of that? Is it to genuinely make fun of autistic peeps or is it just funi cuz idk - having difficulties communicating is hilarious? idunno, probably missing many things here ~

              yeah I suppose a gay trans woman who’s neurodivergent, disabled, unemployed, broke, who spent most of her adult life homeless, dealing with addiction and trauma is a likely candidate for somebody who jokes about being depressed because they wanna seem so cool and funny. doesn’t that just sound so awesome, who wouldn’t wanna lie about being like that!

              in all seriousness I know you don’t mean any harm by this, I was going to ignore it at first, but I decided that I wanted to say that it’s better not to assume somebody is just joking when they say they are depressed. it’s shitty to joke about serious mental issues and misrepresent your situation by making false claims, but it’s also shitty to have suggested that your just faking it.

              again, I know you didn’t mean any harm by this, and your coming from an understandable place, but I just hoped you would know me a little better than this.

                yeah no, you are totally right. you did the right thing to call me out on this. i just associated this specific phrase with the evil faking-peeps >:( .

                i did debate on putting this comment, cuz it really does sound like i’m saying “damn all these people just fake everything for attention”. which, i really tried to not come across like this, but i did.

                i really should have known you better, and i do remember you talking about something similar some time ago… i will perform more multi-perspective-analysis next time i comment.

    seeking happiness and not validation or other superficial things from strangers can incidentally also help you address your problems.
