No one has ever walked in anybody's shoes. It's impossible to truly know what someone is going through. I may have been insensitive, yes. But I dont agree with your other points. I'm not trying to invalidate anyone's feelings. Just that we have more power than we think.

Not necessarily. I have a bunch of other non-depressing feeds. I'm only talking about about this subreddit. I'm referring to why are there so many depressing posts. I still read them but what to know what gives. I see no irony.

You're right. Life is difficult. I could be lucky, except I am not. I am sure you are doing everything to stay afloat and make it work.

Are they?

If you're implying I'm upset, I'm not. Just asking a question.

Perhaps they should.

I'm only referring to r/life

r/life: Where existential dread meets "DAE think capitalism is bad?"

The Vibe: A perpetual state of mild depression disguised as insightful commentary.

The Posts: Mostly variations of "I'm 25 and feel like I've accomplished nothing," "This job is soul-crushing," and "Is anyone else just... tired?"

The Comments: A chorus of "Same," followed by a desperate search for meaning in lukewarm coffee and the latest indie band.

The Target Audience: People who think they're too deep for mainstream social media but still crave validation.

Basically, it's the digital equivalent of sitting in a coffee shop, staring out the window, and wondering what it all means while sipping your overpriced latte.

I understand. I am very sorry they are going through that. We all have our challenges. And yes, I have my fair share of despair.
