Venting The dumbest rhetoric someone can say is "You are loved"

[Oiled Sandwich]

"Oh, I'm loved? Alright, tell me the names of the people who love me."

*Crickets*

"Yeah, that's what I thought. Shut the fuck up."

People who don't even know your name will say this to you. This is by far the stupidest platitude I see repeated over and over again by people who probably grew up in some middle-class suburb. How the hell can you know I'm loved if you don't even know the names of the people who supposedly love me? Man, rose-tinted glasses.

You have a point. It's not true for everyone. And often even if it is the depressed or suicidal person in question won't actually accept or believe it. Many platitudes are useless in this way because they inspire the recipient to disprove them.

Not only that, but what about people who suffered from SA at the hands of their own family? No one can say you're loved unless they actually know the inner workings of your social circle.

fire post. i've thought about this lots of time now and the message it's implying (the poster has people that care about them while i don't, so only they're able to relate to what they're telling me) makes me MORE suicidal as a result. but the people that have someone that cares about them will always assume everyone has someone that cares about them until they become alone and realize there are people in the world that have always been like that. it's just affirming the feeling of not being understood

based and truepilled. i struggled with hating my family after getting SAed by my stepbrother and trying to make me hide it through blackmail, then my mom let him get away with it because she didn't want him to go to jail. he still hasn't been properly convicted because i don't/didn't have enough evidence. to this day i still struggle to trust or understand my parents. but i'm supposed to believe they care. some days it feels so strange to know people don't feel anxious around their parents and they actually feel like they care about them. luckily i know other people with asian parents that they also fight with all the time.
