    It's been longer ago than many of you have been alive, so I'm fine now, but I remember one of my schools doing this stunt where they dropped a card that said "you are loved" in every single locker. And it messed me up fierce for a while there.

    At the time I just moved for reasons, and started attending not long beforehand, had zero friends, and I was looking into emancipation at that point because my home life and all my familial relationships were Bhopal level toxic, so thanks a lot for reminding me of that, fuckers.

      its nice to know that its not just me who hates those baseless uwu positivity messages; the whole "you are valuable, people love you, things get better" shit being stamped everywhere just seems to nail home the fact that none of its true, because if it is why do people keep repeating it without any fucking evidence and/or arguement. i can be feeling pretty much okay and then that shit will just fuck me up for the rest of the day :angery:

        It's like going to someone financially hurting and giving them $1k... in monopoly money.

        If I can't actually do anything with it, what fucking good is it? Why even present it in the first place?

        Like, all that validation shit is meaningless to me when there's an asterisk hanging over all of it which resolves to: oh no, not by me or anything, but yaknow, someone, hopefully

          yeah when someone tells me to "be positive" I tell them that intentionally spreading HIV is sick and they should fucking kill themselves for doing something so horrible.
