Trauma dumping is not exactly fair to other people either.

As someone who gets depressed every few weeks, it’s quite simple. Bluntly, depression is pathetic and a ridiculous feature of the brain. It’s a self-defeating feedback loop that incentives you to do nothing. I would argue the reason people dislike it, is that they cannot really do anything about it. I could say every platitude and give tons of advice to a depressed individual, but it will not “snap them out of it” so to speak. Subsequently, you are basically an annoying “sad sack” until you become normal again. But- you, yourself, have choose to come out of the depression, no one can do it for you. It’s a huge waste of time and the only way to really break the cycle for me is to exercise or find a task I can focus on.

At this point i don't even know what is traumatic to others anymore.

I wouldn't say "hated" but no one is attracted to a depressed person.
They drain your energy and give you nothing in return. You feel bad for them and they hold on to you like a drowning man to a buoy and you feel more depressed for them it's like a contagious sickness that brings you down

Idk, they either don't understand and think people are just weak or they are hamming it up to be edgy or something.


You could also say there is no time to waste on hating things like depression.

I don't hate people with depression i troll them :cozywolfensteinII: and anger them to motivate them to be a better person not a sad sack full of beans (im just like Tyler Durden from fight club)

From my experiences with mental health issues (yes, I've been depressed... probably, was never diagnosed but it was really, really bad a few years back), that's not an approach that works and is really counterproductive if you to help them.

God TikTok made trauma dumping normalized and I’m not here for it

I honestly prefer those depressed people over the ones who are silent because they are more likely to get out of it. Not saying I enjoy trauma dumping, though.

Because often enough they are just whining about "first world problems" and have a vitamin D deficiency from spending too much time indoors.

I wouldn't say they are "hated" as much as they are "annoying" and "downers" to everyone else.

I know this because I used to be one.

You know the chinese version of tiktok is different to the western version of tiktok.

Although they’re both owned by ByteDance, Douyin — China’s version of TikTok — offers a different version of the social media app that is unavailable to the rest of the world, especially for children.

“It’s almost like they recognize that technology is influencing kids’ development, and they make their domestic version a spinach version of TikTok, while they ship the opium version to the rest of the world,” Tristan Harris, a former Google employee, and advocate for social media ethics, said of China’s approach to TikTok

Basically in china, tiktok is a good app that teaches kids real world skills and the like while the western version of tiktok has kids eating tide pods and burning farts.

Because mental health in general is ignored, particularly men's mental health. I've seen so many men online denigrating other men for having mental health problems (because "those are women's issues" or whatever; some straight-up deny that depression and other mental health issues exist to begin with) that it's insane. And when help is offered, many choose to disregard it - if they're not outright hostile to the people offering it - because, despite knowing they're not well, they'd rather keep up the facade than be vulnerable for a little bit.

Women have a different stigma. Whereas men displaying emotion is seen as "weakness" (even in this very thread you have people implying that depression is "weakness"), women displaying emotion is seen as "♥♥♥♥♥♥" or "hysterical". It's taken as "proof" that women are "too emotional" and "irrational".

That's without mentioning all the "cures" for depression and constantly blaming the depressed person for their condition. You know, the "you're depressed because you do/don't X" (exercise, game, eat healthy, all that stuff).

We are emotional beings. It's how we're built, it's how the species evolved, and it's how we've survived. Depression is not a personal failure, it's not weakness, and it's not shameful. It's a medical condition that can (and should) be treated.

Depression can be spread upon others, so one could bring down another if not of a strong mindset themselves. That's the only reason I would see someone hating depression. It's not the person themselves, but rather the negative mindset. They are struggling themselves to remain more positive in the outlook upon life.

Depression is also something which can be overcome, but still a hard one to deal with. As you don't actually want to focus upon it as much, due to itself being a negative. If you hate something, but still dwell upon it, your subconscious will still ironically lead you towards that topic of focus. You need to swap out and replace X for Y each time.

You do need to be stuck or become numb to it as a norm. Depression is just a state of mind.

I would class complaining about first world problems and real depression as two different things myself.

First world problems are not having enough sugar in bottles of cola or the steam vs epic debate. While in the 3rd world, people don't get enough food period and millions lack fresh water.

Chineses not taking opium is a bewilderement indeed. No offense to Chinese peoples around here.

Depression is not rational, and problems are always relative to your current situation. If you've got a house with a leaky roof, you're better off than a homeless person, but your roof still leaks.

Telling depressed people their problems aren't relevant isn't helpful.
