This shouldn't take too long.
Unless someone out there is actually dealing with real shit-- in which case we'd be interested to see your perspective-- stop posting about your alleged "struggles." Your struggles basically don't exist, and they're in your head rather than something objectively harsh and terrible in reality. #firstworldproblems are not "struggles."
What is "real shit?"
Read: You're considering about killing yourself or having violent fantasies about hurting others. You are a war refugee. A family member was killed in armed conflict and you're emotionally struggling with the gravity of that. You are literally starving each week and don't know where your next meal will come from. You live in trash. Your family members are addicted to heroin. You are impoverished. Your hometown or home area is being assaulted by the ravaging effects of climate change. You live in a country of ideological suppression like Iran or Pakistan, and you're trying to wake up from it. You have been the victim of violent crime. Your education has seriously been lacking your whole life and you don't know if you'll ever make it to higher education because you have no money or experience.
These are examples.
What is NOT "real shit."
Complaining that you "struggle" because you're "thick" (which isn't actually a thing-- that just means you're fat) isn't a struggle. Or skinny. Or tall (I will say that SOMEtimes, as in if you're a guy, then you can write about the struggle of being shorter, since it's an actual struggle romantically). Complaining about your "struggle" with thinking that all girls are sluts, if you're male. Complaining about your "struggle" finding a casual date, especially if you're female. Complaining about the "struggle" of getting lots of crappy messages on dating sites, if you're female. Complaining about the "struggle" of having big tits. Complaining about the "struggle" of having too much to eat. Complaining about the "struggle" of being popular. Complaining about the "struggle" of your crush not texting back fast. Complaining about your "struggle" of being white, dear fucking God.
These are examples.
Just... stop. You sound ridiculous. You're fine. Grow a damn backbone. Stop being a pansy. Those ^ things that I listed under 'not real shit' are not 'struggles.'
There were just found dozens of fucking mass graves in Iraq in which reside thousands of innocent people fucking MURDERED by the Islamic State from 2014-17. A massive portion of the country doesn't even have basic municipal services. They are living in fear and in the aftermath of American-caused war. THAT is real shit, people. THAT is a struggle.
Let's have some perspective, grow some thicker skin, and actually read more about things that are *actually important.* My "struggles" with not having a job that pays amazing wages is not a struggle; I still have a job. I still get to eat. I still live in relative safety. I don't have an incurable illness. I still have municipal services. I have perspective-- do you?
