i really don’t get something, whenever i come here, i don’t see anyone talk about their problems, is everyone really okayyy all the time? or do you believe that you shouldn’t share when you feel bad because it gives negative vibes
it’s kinda weird to me, i’ve always thought that talking about our struggles not only makes us feel lighter, but maybe someone will give advice, or even just a simple word can motivate us
i’m not saying people here are showing off or pretending, don’t get me wrong, but for me, this space feels more like a vitrine, everyone just shows their happy version and hides the hard parts of life, this hiding makes conversations one sided, just as we don’t see each other’s pain and weaknesses, we also miss the chance to help, empathize, and create deeper connections
maybe we’ve gotten used to only showing the good moments and successes online because we think complaining or opening up about pain gives bad vibes or even questions our worth, but personally, i believe when we’re honest about our realities, even the unpleasant parts, that’s when a space becomes human and breathable, that’s when people feel safe together, not in competition
i’m not saying everyone should lay out all their problems, but at least a little balance could be created, between feeling good and feeling bad, between showing achievements and sharing failures, that balance could make the online space, especially here, feel more like a real community, a place where we celebrate, console and learn from each other 8 replies
