Shit's getting interesting. Let's all show off our rhetoric skills :3
>>10One word: no. People have rights to make pity parties for themselves from time to time, I do too, but blaming it to someone else (family, friends, etc.), which a lot of threads in personal do, is just shitty. By affirming them unconditionally because you're afraid of breaking their oh-so-fragile hearts, the mentality's gonna stick in real life. It goes like thiss: "it's not my fault, it's theirs. Even the people on the internet agree with me."
So yes, we all need an outlet, but we also need some reminders that we tend to make our problems bigger than what they actually are. I'm not talking about ppl genuinely looking for advice, btw. They're cool.
Also, for people who've gone through much worse, it looks like they're asking for ambulances and rescue helis just from a cut finger, so yes, it's a matter of perspective, and yes, we're all biased. But harsh perspectives don't mean that they don't help at all. Otherwise parents wouldm't beat their children in the name of discipline. AS LONG AS YOU SAY CLEARLY WHAT THEY DID WRONG.
phew, that felt good.
