When you realise no one truly cares about how you feel

[aspiringd0ll]

You can vent all you want, to anyone, most may even rely on ai or shit as their therapist (even worse because it's a bot so it can't feel pity towards you)
Even when someone says they'll listen to all your problems, it's just so they're nice but it's all surface level, deep down they just want to find a solution for you to shut up
Everyone is too focused on their own shit, even therapists, they do it only to put some bread on their table
So when you finally want to let all your feelings out, you have to eventually learn that you're all alone and you have to cope by yourself in some way or another
And if someone really tries to dig about how you are, it's only for their own advantage, to feed their curiosity or to use it against you someday, they really don't care about you. No one does, only you.

 

[Chifuyu]

To tell someone they are wrong effectively,
focus on tactical empathy by acknowledging their perspective before offering a correction. Blatant statements like "you're wrong" often trigger defensiveness, so use softer language and evidence-based reasoning to maintain a productive dialogue.
Core Strategies for Correction

• Pick Your Battles: Before speaking up, weigh the pros and cons. Small or trivial errors may not be worth the potential friction.
• Correct in Private: No one likes to lose face in front of a crowd. Pull the person aside for a one-on-one conversation.
• Focus on Behavior, Not Character: Avoid personal attacks on intelligence or work ethic. Point to the specific error rather than making it about who they are as a person.
• Use "I" Statements: Frame the correction around your own perception or information. Phrases like "This is how I understood it" or "I think there might be some confusion on my end" are less confrontational.
• The Socratic Method: Instead of a direct correction, ask probing questions to help them discover the error themselves. For example: "Can you walk me through how you reached this conclusion?".

Important Tips

• Lead with Evidence: Base your correction on hard data or facts rather than just your opinion to be more convincing.
• Offer a Solution: Telling someone they're wrong without providing a way to fix it can feel like mere complaining. Offer an actionable suggestion or help to repair the mistake.
• Be Open to Being Wrong Yourself:Approach the conversation with an open mind, as there is always a chance you may be the one who is mistaken.

Honestly you’re at the wrong address, I don’t tell people when I’m feeling down; I just hide it and deal with it myself.

1/10 wouldn’t recommend this strategy

Well yea I get you, I just thought you were disagreeing and wanted to explain it

No, I think it’s the right mentality to have. It’ll lead you to the path of misanthropy.

You can vent all you want, to anyone, most may even rely on ai or shit as their therapist (even worse because it's a bot so it can't feel pity towards you)
Even when someone says they'll listen to all your problems, it's just so they're nice but it's all surface level, deep down they just want to find a solution for you to shut up
Everyone is too focused on their own shit, even therapists, they do it only to put some bread on their table
So when you finally want to let all your feelings out, you have to eventually learn that you're all alone and you have to cope by yourself in some way or another
And if someone really tries to dig about how you are, it's only for their own advantage, to feed their curiosity or to use it against you someday, they really don't care about you. No one does, only you.

Agreed, I will only ever care about myself.

some days i wish i had the capacity to be delusional enough to think that i could truly be listened to all the time, but that's not true and i know that's not true, and overall being aware of this is a better logical outcome. still means i'll probably be single forever. sigh.

I would use the dark mode if it was a sleek black and not this muted gray color. The light mode format looks much cleaner for this website.
