I get it; we’re all tired. Exhausted, even. Getting up, dealing with humans, making your way through traffic, navigating social complexities, etc., all suck.
Being disconnected, unwilling or unmotivated to engage, or just out of it adds to the morass of shit. I am tired of people who don’t bother to try.
To me, these people just make things more unbearable.
There’s a lot to unpack there, so I’ll start with: if we remove the “other people” in your statement and replace them with “I” statements, etc., the underlying issue is clearer — though no less relatable, mind you. We’re all on the struggle bus, and it’s ok to talk about your feelings. Sometimes, people go without talking about it and it comes out in places & times that aren’t 100% appropriate, but they’re no different than the rest of us. It’s compassion that will see us through — and the lack of which will make us monsters, in the end.
This is “off my chest” is it not? I’m simply stating how I feel about pity-posting memes that seem to brag about ineptitude or unwillingness to engage. I should have known it would be picked apart.
I was genuinely trying to help, though? If not you (clearly, my bad), then some other reader of your whinge. Have fun out there, citizen, and fuckin’ good luck.
