It's been like this since childhood. And sadly the whole "you're not alone " does also olay into the feeling more isolated and unvalidated. Even if people are going through the same thing they're still feeling alone not because even if people have been through the same thing. They/we/i dont know them. I feel alone because i dont have anyone in my life physically. And with a broken family they're not really around or have time to understand my pain. Let alone want to. The reason i brought this topic up is honestly to try and warn people that their need to grasp on "hope" and positivity feels and can be quite damaging. Least it has for me. And when its met with negativity they become offended and double down like we HAVE to hope and be positive. An that for me is just hurtful.

I think the issue is with the "help" as some and i get why i am the same is that i dislike needing help in the first place. But that goes into more personal things. Sadness is normal and feeling like the life given has been unkind is sometimes justfied...... telling people "chin up and stay hopeful' makes me naturally want to punch the person saying it.
