Non-depresing rant about "Depression"

Right so lately i've been seeing a lot of angsty kids/teens making lengthy posts about their "Depression" and "Issues" while in all reality that's seriously just normal shit that you're supposed to deal with if you're already getting so worked up over minor stuff like that you will not survive a minute in the real world

And it's not like i've never done one of these attention grabbing status updates either i'm not innocent but at least i don't do them constantly because honestly nobody really cares except for the other kids who think they have issues as well i'm not bashing the ones with actual health issues more the "Depressed kids" you know who you are.

Look it's fine if you feel down once in a while it's normal for your age your body's changing in a lot of ways and you may feel like you don't fit in and that's fine but for fucks sake get off your ass and do something about it you like games dontcha go to some tournements you don't even have to participate just hang out it's fun!

It's true though, all these kids going through middle school think they're having problems that are so unique

You have a whole life ahead of you, no you do not have some disorder preventing you from talking to people

You're just lazy, small child

Is what I've been wanting to say but that's too harsh

I'm a teen that goes through the occasional mood swings and will sometimes get worked up over nothing, but I'm not near as extreme as these other tempers. If they get this worked up over nothing, they'll never make it. I just try to keep my head high and think positive through the bad times, and I end up fine. It's really not that hard to make friends, either. Just go out and do something social every once and a while. For example, I go to a youth group at my church every week and socialize with people there. Surely they could do something social once a week as well to meet new people. Maybe they could join a group at school that deals with something they're interested in that's after school and make new friends there. It's sad to see people get this worked up over nothing.

In the real world, people are hurting. So maybe you can take your idea of how people should be in your optimal fantasy world, and keep it to yourself.

Honestly my life is great and has always been great. few bad things happen, and when they do i get over it. the stuff that seems the worst to me is waiting for more great stuff to happen.

why yeah i keep my own issues to myself @CIAwesome526 I think that's just the normal thing to not try to get other people worked up over my own 'cuz people have their own issues ya know it's no use getting them worked up over yours

Btw @rileysrjay i have the same mood swings are pretty normal for our age with all dem hormones and stuff

@yuyuyup also i don't live in my own little fantasy world that'd be sick if i could but sadly i'm back down to reality where not everyone is as socially inept as they make theirselves out to be

I think the main thing these kids don't realise when making wall of text blog entries about how bummed they are about they're insignificant problems, is that none of us really give a shit.

Its not that I don't have empathy, but I'm not going to spend my time consoling some kids on the internet over feeling left out, or lonely or having doubts about themselves. Some of us have real life problems, like worries about work or making rent or having enough money for groceries etc.

Feeling the need to reach out and confide to strangers on the internet might be a clear indicator of where your problems stem from.

Get a life. Or as my dad always said, "Suck it up, son. Don't be a pussy."

I don't think that putting your lack of empathy on blast is making you look particularly mentally stable. I bet all of us could benefit from some mental help. Nobody is perfect, we should all move in a more healing direction.

I find high school depressing because of how they force feed you all these topics that you will never find use for in the future
I understand that the whole point of school is to make you a well-rounded individual - but I don't want to be a well-rounded individual - I want to concentrate on maths and IT
*incoming hate*

Oh please @yuyuyup if you have mental problems go confide in your own friends about it not some strangers on the internet and seeing as most of these guys on this forum that have "mental problems" are 12 even better talk to your parents about it my lack of empathy stems from too many kids saying they have "srs problems guys" meanwhile it's actually "I'm too damn lazy to go out and make friends" And don't gimme that "They have mental issues preventing them from socializing" crap i'm willing to bet that at least 90% of the people here saying that shit don't actually do and even if real talk here for a second because i have to otherwise i don't think you're gonna get it through your thick skull you're part of the problem

Your indifference to the plight of others only bolsters my point, all of us could benefit from mental healing. It shouldn't be a BAD thing to reach out for help, demonize it all you want, it just makes you look like you could use some help as well.

And you know what maybe i do need some help and maybe i don't at least i don't whine to strangers on the internet about it i ain't demonizing people who seek help props to them man i'm talking about the people who don't have any real issues that are just complaining to pity-bait

Well I don't think you're in much of a position to judge who has real issues and who doesn't.

I agree with littleflame completely. Even if someone here wanted to help, there's nothing they could do. There are places to seek help for mental, social and emotional problems. This isn't it.

What can you say to someone that posts serious issues that they're dealing with? "Seek professional help", "talk to family friends" etc. As littleflame has already stated.

I don't think a lack of empathy here is necessarily an issue. If anything, he's helping the situation by making it evident that this isn't the place for people's problems. maybe they'll evaluate the severity of their issue and seek appropriate avenues for help after reading this.

This 'heal the world' hippie crap doesn't help anyone. Good intentions can only go as far as you're qualified. None of us are psychologists, and if we were, it would be our responsibility to tell them to seek appropriate treatment elsewhere.

Lol wut. There's a difference between reaching out for help, and being attention hogs. I'd be willing to wager that plenty if not most of people writing such posts saying "Woe is me etc etc" merely want someone to tell them "Oh no, poor you!" rather than receive advice.

@chary, I'm saying, even if it is serious, this still isn't the place. They lose on both accounts. Empathy has no relevance.
