new trend: self deprecation

[WarHeRo]

it seems like everyone who has a bad time these days is just self deprecating. what purpose does it even serve?

don't care for them.

care for urself. not for them. to have a level doesnt require u to care for others. u dont look good to attract ppl, but cuz u care for urself

I do it myself because peoples keep doing it wrong when they try to make me look bad.

You see it's telling the truth imo,

I don't believe people like me and i sometimes hate my life.

It might not serve a purpose but it helps that i get to say it.
People do hate moaners but they wouldn't like me anyway so it doesn't matter.

Alcohol makes me feel better, But i can't drink for multiple reasons, my stomach lining is so bad it can hurt to drink, it costs a billion bloody dollars a week to drink and i probably say stuff i shouldn't.

Some of us often engage in it because most people around us IRL have put it in our heads about how unworthy and horrible we are.

[aka]

I couldn't do that if I tried.

People look and listen, they know I’m up here, while they are down there, hoping I drop a drip on their thirst.

You're welcome friends

A lot of it is punishment on yourself, some may even generously call it self-disciplining.
(And probably better than cracking a whip on yourself, which would be pretty tricky to do)

"They don't see the real me, they just see what amuses them. I know what I really am, the rage, the cowardice, the laziness... Do better, you filth!!"

Something like that.

Difficult to get rid of, especially if the person believes it about themselves firmly.

There is a fine line between self-deprecating humor being strong and it being pathetic.

It's disarming, presenting oneself in a sel-deprecating manner. It makes others feel at ease.

Do you know what the word/phrase means? Look it up.

People who are "having a bad time" and communicating that are not being "self-deprecating." They're complaining, valid or not, or in extremes are being ruthlessly critical of themselves in an effort to gain understanding, sympathy or behaving in such a way as to signal they've got deeper self-esteem/other issues. That's not... "self-deprecating."

Put plainly, victimhood olympics. Basically inverted beings who work to keep themselves selectively dead so they can neither be harmed nor feel compelled to take responsibility for the effects of their actions.

New? I've been doing this for twenty years.

Maybe I'm just a hipster.

You are forgiven for this Devsman. You were paving the way for the hipsters before it was cool.
