Tragedy-Seekers

Ok now. I should start by saying that depression is a real thing and that this is not aimed at depression but more so people who feign having depression because they want attention.

There comes a point when you realize that some people don't really have that bad of a life, they just want to have that bad of a life, because they have NOTHING to talk about with people. If they didn't tell you about their horror-ridden existence then you would just be staring at each other in silence.

What I hate is when you ask somebody, "How's your day?" and they respond "I just found out I have crabs, but not the sexy kind, the kind that eat out your insides for months while you slowly whither in pain. I also accidentally ran over my cat, but it's ok, I really just want a dog, but I'm allergic. I'm also allergic to strawberries, ten kinds of fish, gluten, air, and laughter. My father never loved me."

And I'm like, "All I wanted was a 'ok', 'so-so', or *shrug*! You didn't have to re-write the ending to Schindler's List for me!"

But what is even worse is when people are like, "I am rlly sad. So so so rlly sad." And I'm like, "ARE YOU SO SO SO REALLY SAD THAT YOU CAN'T EVEN TEXT ME YOUR SAD-ASS LIFE TO ME RIGHT!?"

Because what I've learned is:

-When people are really depressed they don't want to talk about it with others. They do not want people to know they are depressed.

-When people want to talk about it, they usually don't text you the gritty details of their childhood or put it up on Facebook and reply with 'lolz.'

Then these tragedy-seeking sad-peeps take exciting moments and make them so so sad for them. "Oh my gosh you like Pokemon? I liked it, but then I couldn't play anymore because batteries destroy the earth and my sperm count and I also got eye disease from my marathons so I was legally blind in fourth grade until my mom got me eye glasses which I broke and lost the spelling bee."

And I can't help but to say, "WHAT THE FUCK ARE YOU EVEN SAYING!? NONE OF THOSE THINGS REALLY EXIST!?"

Or when people take sad events and make them a personal attack! Such as, "I heard there was a bombing in London. I can't believe the media isn't paying attention to the extinction of buffalo. American media is so fucked up! I'm going to move to Canada."

MOVE TO CANADA! DAMMIT MOVE TO CANADA! Grrrrssss...

I don't even know what else to say. People need to calm down. Life doesn't have to be a battle or a tragedy every minute, so stop trying to make it one.

Much love!!!!!
