It's actually cool people are open about how they feel.

But I have a friend who uses his sadness on borderline attention whore levels.

I'm in a few group chats with him, and I have him on FB as well. there often be times where we all comforting and praising him in the groups chats and on FB.
But it be like
Damn nikka bad shyt happen to all of us too, we don't televise it and if we do its just in our group chats.

One of my group chats got tired of it

He posts something on FB, " man i can't believe that happened to me 5 months ago!" shyt gets like 30 likes and like 50 comments.

We in the group chat talking about bytches and he sees no one talking about him.

breh posts the same thing he posted on his timeline in the group chat.

One of the brehs finally called him out and revealed what we were all thinking, boy it got heated.

Breh was basically like, "bro quit posting everything on social media you have us for all that shyt and quit being sad over every litte thing and man up!"

The nikka gonna screen shot the group convo and post it on FB and spinned the narrative on how this is why people stay silent making us all look bad


We all friends again... but yeah.... i like that we are open but people just want the world to know everything

I agree. Some people do over do it.

is it wrong to express your feelings and thoughts?

if it wasn’t for bad days, you’d never appreciate the good ones

It's in vogue to view everything as glass half empty instead of glass half full. Weakness and vulnerability are in vogue nowadays too and I think being sad and depressed falls under that umbrella. That's not to completely brush off mental illness which is a very real thing, but some people are literally reveling in being weak. Looking at this country, there's a lot efforts to make it weak internally. Trigger warnings, micro-aggressions, safe spaces, safe rooms with coloring books and play-dough for college students, etc.. These are all real things!! Look at Terry Crews who is basking in the glory that comes with declaring himself a victim and women are rewarding him.

Whole country has gone soft.

Kinda what I was getting at. It's glorified.

It's not cool. People are just talking about it more now

 

[African Peasant]

Everybody and their mama today claim to be depressed.

It’s not “cool” it’s widespread which means it’s relatable which means it’s easy to market and sell. I swear some of y’all dont even look at things just a little past the surface

I think it's just that more and more people these days are no longer scared about things that used to be shamed by society, for better and for worse.

This is a bit overblown most people are faking being happy if anything them pretentious selfies and fake deep quotes are usually a masking something else

well it's either this or that becuase nobody can keep it a buck nowadays. always performing for an imaginary audience

all of this caused by late capitalism and the slow decline of a society
