My first two rants:
"DLC is getting ridiculous - the rant""Youtube drama is getting ridiculous - the rant part II
Tumblr is glorifying mental illness
This has to be stopped
Two of my previous rants are more related to things that I am interested in, video games and YouTube. This rant however is based on something more serious and something that I have no means of getting interested in.
The issue with tumblrI have recently been absolutely flabbergasted from the absolute bullstuff I have been seeing on my Instagram as well as social media as a whole. I have come to the point were it is so shocking it leaves me so confused like working out a geometry question in mathematics, you know those atrocious questions that tell you to find x on some weird angle shape. This is basically how I feel right now. I am coming across many gifs and pictures, from mainly girls, spreading their mental illness like its good and its fine because you know people love taking in another person’s misery, right? Well loving no, tumblr (and Instagram sometimes) is absolutely glorifying mental illness like its something you should be proud of and it’s starting to get out of loving hand.
I just don’t understand why people waste their time online and act as edgy as they possibly can saying “My heart is already broken and no one else can break it” or other stuff like “Nothing can hurt me anymore” or “my emotions have gotten to me and I don’t care about life” I am absolutely sick of the people around me just looking at this stuff and crying about it. I know a girl that recently went through a break up and I know it’s awful cuz I’ve experienced a break up but she went on social media and liked stupid pictures like these:
She got so out of control, she sent me snaps of her knuckles in blood because she punched walls. I just don’t get this stuff, why do people (mainly girls) love to just spread this misery and act like it’s going to help? It just loving doesn’t help at all I mean why can’t they listen to a song that tells them to get better, you know like Tupac’s “keep ya head up” and have hope because that’s what I did when I was at my lowest points in life and it really helped a lot.
I never went around liking 10 pictures that display a message of self-loathing and making myself feel even more stuff. I just don’t get it, there are some people that are going to criticize what I say that we don’t know what some people are going through and I can only get that if the person that is depressed has had an awful upbringing, such as if they have problems at home with their family. But if you have a family that works their loving ass off and supports you to go to school and you have no issues at school, I have to say I really don’t understand what you’re doing.
There are so many people out there that don’t even want to talk to their friends or family about the matter and instead they go onto tumblr posting pictures of their self-harmed body and their black and white pictures of quotes saying “I’m fine” or stupid stuff, and I have seen this, “I’m happy 2 be sad”. They don’t want to talk to Self Delete prevention lines about this stuff and it just confuses me. I just want to know:
- Why are they so depressed to this extent?
- Why do they think spreading their misery will help them get through their troubles?
- Why can’t they open up to their family about the issue?
I know a person who lost his father in 9/11, he has been depressed, and god bless this guy, but he has gotten through his depression, he never spread his depression to anyone in fact he would always try his best to be happy about life. He always wanted to play xbox 360 with me and my friends and he was always studying in school, studying his hardest. He is the example of a person that is blessed, he doesn’t spread his misery and he cares about the people around him.
Why can’t these people on tumblr get through this stuff? It’s loving sickening that this stuff they post influences younger people, and again mainly girls, to think like this. It just corrupts them as a whole and makes them even more insecure
Modern age aesthetics culture is forgeted up beyond beliefThis part is tied into Tumblr’s glorifying of mental illness as it also plays a part of exploring a person’s thoughts. Now I don’t know about this culture all too much other than it being some sort of art form, but I have seen people go on about this culture to spread their negativity as a result. The picture above being a sort of example, you see these stupid people posting on Instagram their tight jeans and ass being flashed off in a mirror and sometimes they’ll talk about being “lonely” or the drugs they take. It is also worthy to note that these sort of people also appear to be obsessed with smoking cigarettes and cannabis
If you’re living in London like me, you’ll see these sorts of people in places like Shoreditch and other areas which are all urbanized. But then again these people also love sharing their loneliness and depression and I just don’t understand why they want to spread this misery.
If anyone reading this actually suffers from depression please do not go onto tumblr or any of these stupid loving sites and seek help immediately. Please, because otherwise you’re going to be stuck in these places just feeling even worse. I just don’t get this culture at all and it’s become so popular, it just has to be stopped. There is nothing good about it and I'm seeing friends around me just becoming worse and worse the more they view this stuff. It is not healthy, it is not something to be proud of, it is misery and negativity that should not be spread.
