And what about all the private men and women who aren't uploading videos? I know women who are equally suffering who would never, ever upload such a video. Would you?
It sounds like there's a lot of bias in this viewpoint based on publicly expressed content, which is always of certain personalities who are willing to put themselves online; there are many more who are unwilling, but that doesn't make their experiences less important. If anything, they're the more significant ones versus these showmen showcasing their suffering, some of which could possibly be fake.
It was an example, because ive seen videos. That doesnt mean that people without videos are less important. Is that what you read into what I said, that only people with videos are important? Thats kind of funny in itself, that you see a thread about something and goes full "whatabout this and that" inside it.
You also do that if you read a book or watch a movie and if it doesnt include everyone you care about, you mail the author and ask why his book didnt include what you were hoping? :)
I think its ok to have a thread about how males are feeling without including women in it, dont you? Why do they have to be included in my thread? Are you deciding what threads i should create? Clearly you have some of your own control issues. Trying to tell people what they should discuss. :)
You can discuss whatever you want. I wasn't "hoping" or not hoping for anything; I'm only saying that I don't agree with your view because you are reacting to videos online, which only give a small, unrealistic picture of the real condition of humanity in this subject matter.
Also, on a personal level, no, I don't usually feel like this (to answer your last question). If I do, I try to brush it aside and focus on self-improvement, because pity parties are rarely healthy.
Well, videos online is what ive seen, but im sure there are blog posts or social media talking about this topic also (but I dont use ordinary social media like Facebook, twitter, tiktok etc, I believe they are mentally unhealthy).
Anyway, regardless of what media we have seen this in, it seems to be a problem. But you know what? Its normal to feel depressed. Just look around. People who work are often sad about how their life is just about working, and then Netflix a few hours in the evening before the meaningless job starts again.
People who dont work are often sad about that as well, and want to work and have money. Its quite a fine balance in life to find that zone where you are happy and have what you need. Its not easy for most.
Then you have people with relationships and they are unhappy because of their partner being a shit person. Then you have people who never gets to have a relationship and they are sad about that.
I mean, its just so much all the time. I dont think almost anyone is happy, specially as long as they have to work. They look forward to retirement and maybe thats also not what they think, once they get there.
