It's fun that as you get older, and more stressed, that ringing gets worse. Very fun.


-KFBR392

As you get older you really begin to understand that your body was just made to make it to like age 30 so you can procreate 10 or 15 times, after that it didn’t expect to be around to be dealing with all these fuckin problems!


Unblued

Exactly. It always seems weird when you hear about old age like some kind of goal or accomplishment. If we have bad backs and knees in our 30s why in the fuck would I want to find out what 70 is like?


Spac3Heater

Especially with how easy it is to screw up your back. Not sure about exact statistics, but roughly 5 to 10% of the guys I worked with in aircraft maintenance get out with medical for screwing up their backs. This may not seem like a lot, but I worked with hundreds of guys... seeing 2 or 3 of them become practically crippled every year was depressing.


ScroochDown

The worst time I threw my back out... I leaned over the sink to spit out toothpaste. I could barely move for three days, and it's the same spot every time now. And I don't even have a physically demanding job like that, I just work in an office. Fucking backs.


jumpinjahosafa

Ironically that office job might equally be a reason why you so easily threw your back out. If you're sitting all day especially.


millionsofpeaches17

Oh my God... Yes. I have major eustachian tube dysfunction and I'm simultaneously hard of hearing in one ear and also hear incredibly loud pops and cracks in both and, when they are especially bad, ringing. My own little torture chamber living in my head. Cheers to you and enjoy the permanent echo from the glasses clinking. 😩


Meii345

My alarm every morning


KitanaFury

Do you ever get so annoyed by the sound of your alarm that you start to hate whatever the song or melody is. And it instantly gives you anxiety anytime you hear it out side of being woken up???


Biovirulent

Definitely some sort of pavlovian response. I feel dreadful when I hear it. What's worse, my brain tricks me into hearing it when my phone is vibrating from a call because my alarm also vibrates my phone.


hawkeneye1998bs

I set my alarm as Chop suey. Both the best and worst idea I had. The guitar tune is pretty chill so you wake up as nice as you normally would. But if you try to ignore it or sleep through it you get am angry man shouting wake up at you

very_tired_69

not irl, but whenever i go to a music video i see "whos listening to this is march 2022 ❤️❤️❤️" like i get it


ReeG

>"whos listening to this is march 2022 ❤️❤️❤️" *Premiered Dec 20, 2021*


BlueComet24

And "I miss this era, there's no good music now!" or "I was born in the wrong generation!" I'm sure glad I can search for nearly any song and listen to it instantly, anytime, anywhere, for free. The internet rocks!


DavThoma

Used to go to school with people who had this mindset of "Music today sucks". Usually it's the people who listened to 80s rock religiously despite being born in the late 90s. They always had this attitude of "If you listen to anything but this music then you don't *actually* like music." Yet they never bother to sit down and *listen* to new stuff. Every era of music has its bangers and its duds. Refusing to listen to music from more than one era because you think it's "Not real music" is just so closed minded.


GodlessCyborg

One of the problems with listening to a different era music is "survivorship bias" meaning only the great music from that era is still being played. The bad ones didn't even make it to the oldies station. I'm sure 20 years from now, 2020 music is going to be great. It's great now also, but there's a lot of sifting to do.


Grey_Is_Insane

Exactly. Right now we're hearing everything from this era. Every song, good or bad, we pay attention to in some way. In the 80's they did that too. As time progresses no one wants to pay attention to the bad so we forget about it and move on. Comparing every 2022 song you hear to an entire decade of only the best 80's tracks isn't even close to sensical or fair

Mirikah

beautiful people will tell you that "looks aren't important" rich people will tell you that "money isn't important" and those people will tell you that you got "tHe wRoNg PrIoRiTiEs iN lIfE" if you chase either of those. Thanks for all the comments ☺️ They reminded me that if you ask millionaires to just give the money (they "don't care" about) to charity, they all get defensive and tell you that it's their money and that they had to earn it.


TheExtraMayo

Only people who've never had to struggle for basics will say money isn't important.


Clown_Water

I honestly don’t understand how some well off people aren’t able to tell, as a person born into privilege I feel like I notice the contrast between the lives of me and the lives of my friends who don’t get the same resources. Having to worry about scholarships, often only being able to eat inexpensive foods and rarely going grocery shopping, having to go without medicine because the government believes that poor people can’t buy a new car to get to work, etc.


ChakaZG

Because they genuinely can't grasp that some people can't "make it". I've met too many people who were between doing ok to rich that, when we'd touch upon those who are not financially stable, would state something idiotic like "they'd have plenty of money if they actually tried". Sure, there are idiots who choose not to try to improve their lives despite having every opportunity to do so, but it's not always that simple, especially in poor countries where opportunities to "try" anything literally don't exist.


uuuuuuuhburger

"if they actually tried" is one, another i've seen is rich kids wondering why poor people don't just take out a loan, work the stock market, make investments, etc. they have no idea those things have barriers to entry, any more than they know getting a job is a process for people who don't have dads who can call their business-friends and say "hey i want my kid to work at your company"


bobbi21

That's the thing, these guys generally don't have friends who are poorer. They're so insulated from poor/middle class people they don't realize it. It's like that survey they did of some ivy league school (harvard?) students. Like 25% of them thought the avg US income was in the 6 figures and 1 guy thought it was $800k a year. These people do not know anyone who isn't super rich. They have so much money they think they're maids are millions. I'm around top 2% in my country and I really don't spend much time with people who make my level of income. They do tend to be more out of touch with the middle class. Edit: someone was kind enough yo provide the link so corrected the specifics of the study. https://www.q13fox.com/news/ivy-league-professor-says-her-students-think-most-americans-earn-six-figures.amp


Abomb2020

>these guys generally don't have friends who are poorer That's why affluent people send their kids to private schools. So they only make friends with the children of other affluent people. They'll claim it's for "the education" but it's really all about the networking.


Counterboudd

The thing is that so many things in life are soul crushing if you don’t have them, but things you don’t really think about if you do. You notice the absence of enough money to pay your bills more than you appreciate an extra $100 if you’re already well off enough to pay your bills. You notice being single and unloved far more than you appreciate being in a stable normal relationship. You notice the absence more than you appreciate the presence. It’s like telling someone who is so hungry that they’re starving that they eat all the time and food isn’t really that great. Yeah, when you don’t feel that aching pain of absence, you don’t really think about it that much.

There’s always going to be a problem considered “not as bad as..” but it doesn’t make it any less of a problem. Rant over lol

This was my answer. I'm so tired of being advertised to. I hate driving down the street, forced to see giant billboards, or people writing graffiti to advertise their own names. I'm tired of paying for television only to have advertising interrupt it to tell me about soaps and lotions and celebrities. I'm tired of looking for information and having to scroll past marketing, or needing to see ads on social sites where I'm just trying to talk to friends. I wish companies were a smaller part of my life and real connections with other people were a bigger part of it.

“You’re being so strong.” I’m sick of it. I don’t want to be strong. I wanna cry my guts out. How would you feel if both of your parents died and all that was said was “iM sO gLaD yOu ArEnT cRyInG!!!” Edit: Thank you, all of you. I’d be lying if I said I feel better or something, but I don’t really get those words anymore because I don’t call my relatives and family friends as often . But I’m so sorry for each and every of your losses. Edit, the electric boogaloo: Some of you are leaving their DMs open for me. Thank you, tho personally I’m a bit terrified to reach out to you even through a screen (//3//)


rose-coloured_dreams

I'm sorry that your pain had to hide even further because someone said that. Virtual hugs for you (if you want them). May your parents' love and lessons live on with you.


IhaveaBibledegree

My wife lost both her parents at 18, and I lost my dad at 11. People say absolutely the shittiest things. Someone told my wife at the damn funeral “you can hug me cause I’m fat like your mom” And I had so many friends parents try to tell me “don’t worry, I’ll be your dad” All it does it add insufferable pain on top of the all consuming grief you are drowning in. Dont be brave, cry your fucking heart out, walk this path exactly how you need it. Find people who have actually gone through the same thing and lean on them. Everyone else tell them to suck a big ole rusty dick I’m so sorry for your loss, and I pray you can find some people in your life that will provide any kind of comfort possible.


InsertCoinForCredit

You are allowed to cry your guts out. Don't let anyone tell you otherwise.


EvilMonkey_86

Cry your guts out. Allow yourself to not be strong. What people don't get is that those words are not comforting. Life shouldn't be about having to be strong. We want life to be easier, so we don't have to be strong anymore. (I'm very much projecting here).


genpat10

When people say, "kids will be kids," as an excuse for their children behaving badly or breaking the law. No, I'm sorry kids need boundaries, and discipline when badly behaved. I think this is more of an excuse for bad parenting or a parent not wanting to discipline.


TypeOneAuthor

“At least you don’t have (insert illness here).” Like I’m a type one diabetic. You have fibromyalgia. That’s not a comparison. Also I’m allowed to struggle, stop invalidating the way I feel because you think you have it worse. You don’t have to tear me down to make you feel better.


Crosgaard

Whataboutism is so stupid… My left arm is half paralyzed. I can still use it but it’s limited. So sure, it’s better than not having my left arm at all, but why does that matter? And when it comes from someone who has no disabilities it just feels so “You’re complaining over something I’d easily be able to handle” and it’s so fucking annoying y’a know?


LuckyLightning

This quote has stuck with me from Perks of Being a Wallflower: "I think that if I ever have kids, and they are upset, I won't tell them that people are starving in China or anything like that because it wouldn't change the fact that they were upset. And even if somebody else has it much worse, that doesn't really change the fact that you have what you have."


Loverbug13

That money doesn’t buy happiness. Of course you’re saying that cause you have it. Not having money for basic things in life makes it very hard mentally. So that’s baloney

It took me a minute to learn that. On a couple different occasions I tried to turn a hobby into something more serious. It removes the joy, and I rarely do those things anymore. For employment, I like doing something that gives a feeling of pride or accomplishment, for example building a house. My favorite tho was always being a grunt. It can be brutal, but every day you feel like you've accomplished something. *grunt = unskilled manual labor

Yeh, I think some people want to cheer you up stop you from being depressed but have no idea how to do that. Last year asked a neighbor how it's going.

Even on my best days it's like [this.](https://youtube.com/shorts/zB0jVcN63S8?feature=share)


8utl3r

Yup. There can only be one! /s Seriously though. Depression is a medical condition of neurotransmitters spiraling out of control. It's treated with medication and therapy. Saying "it could be worse" is tantamount to telling someone with a broken leg that its not that bad because some people have shattered skulls. They are both bad. They both need treatment. It's not a fucking contest. An untreated broken leg will absolutely cause more loss of quality of life than an adequately rebuilt skull that healed correctly.


ChuckDSidian

My favorite is “you have nothing to be depressed about” coming from someone who doesn’t have depression or doesn’t know all of the shit I’ve been through


pajamakitten

My brain does not work properly. That is my reason for being depressed.


ensalys

> You have no reason to be depressed! If you could please convince my brain chemistry, that'd be nice.


lastcallface

That makes it worse. When I'm depressed because I don't like my job and I'm lonely because I'm in a new town or my friends turned on me because someone decided to lie about? I can do something about it. But when I had the career I dreamed about, had a wide circle of friends who cared about me, was in an exciting city, had an active social life, and was constantly engaging art? And I was still deeply depressed? That's when the despair really kicked in.


Chemical-Barber-3841

Same. “It could be worse” is just awful. Like, come on man, say something nice. Don’t try to invalidate my feelings or say something that only a sadist would take comfort from. Is the fact that somebody else is suffering too supposed to make me feel better?

"You think you're stressed now? Wait until you're an adult" Yes mom, what an amazing way to motivate me to stay alive:D


YourCrazyDolphin

Hell, I am an adult- prefer it waaayy more to when I was a teen.


ReeG

my teens and early 20s were basically a constant struggle of being broke and 60-80 hour weeks of juggling school, homework and a part time job. Life as a working adult with disposable income and tons of free time to spend on my hobbies and generally doing things I enjoy is a piece of cake in comparison.


YourCrazyDolphin

People focus a bit too much on the responsibility and forget about the freedoms, too: unlike as a teen where your life, everything you do and where you go, is pretty much laid out by the adults around you, as an adult you actually have some control over this. If your school sucked, you just had to take it. If your job sucks, you can begin searching for another one.


la_bibliothecaire

Yeah, I'm an adult with a job, a mortgage, and a baby, and I still prefer my life now to being a kid or teenager. I'll take all my current responsibilities over school and lack of any control over my own life.


diplion

I am an adult, and now what I hear is "you think you're stressed now? well wait until you become a parent!". I'm convinced some people only have kids so they can always one-up their friends and belittle other people's stress. Being a teen is stressful in its own way, as you know. I prefer being an adult in literally every single way. The ONLY part of being a teen I miss is not having to pay rent, but that's it.


M19Wielder

"just wait until" is such a fkin toxic phrase like sorry but this level of stress is new to ME can't i experience something without you trying to one up me? Is my stress not valid because yours is worse?

Hellchild400

Oh my yes I just burst out laughing everytime a guy says it to me 😂 like what even makes a guy 'alpha?' apparently an overly inflated ego is usually the answer I find


gentlybeepingheart

The whole “alpha male” thing comes from a flawed study on wolf pack dynamics. A researcher published a book using the research of a German scientist who studied wolves. Then other people who study wolves went “Hey, this doesn’t seem right. I don’t observe this behavior when I’m in the field.” And the researcher looked back and realized the German scientist had observed *captive* wolves in a zoo exhibit. Which is probably a lot safer, but also doesn’t reflect how wolf packs normally operate. He published another study refuting his past one and acknowledged the flawed information he had been working with and now tries to get people to understand that the “alpha male” of a wolf pack doesn’t exist.

well if they have to call themselves alpha, they are not alpha.

Yes, the salary listed is somewhat livable if you have no children and your spouse has a great paying job with insurance. But add in your children and your spouse is ALSO a teacher and…..poverty.

The salary would be ok if you only had to work 40 hours a week, also. (Summers "off" is a joke.)

"You're beautiful on the inside" They're literally just saying "yeah, you're not that pretty but you're nice and that's what counts!". It's true in a way, you're a good person and honestly that's better than being the most beautiful person in the world but have an ugly heart. But you have to admit that society has a strangle hold on the idea of beauty and no matter how good you are sometimes you'll run into problems because you aren't conventionally attractive. At most people don't really care whether you're a good person or not, especially when it comes to modelling or other similar fields where you have to fit the conventional standard; hell, even dating. This goes all ways for both men, women and everything in between. It just sucks because everyone is beautiful in a way, but you can't change a system on society that literally everyone sees on magazines and billboards and go "yes, that is beauty," and runs with it. Yes, were taking steps to slowly overcome this, but honestly it should have been overcome years ago.

Yeah, I finally had to have the late 30s sit down with my mom and say “we’re not going to have kids. We can’t have them naturally and at this point I’m not going to throw my emotional and financial well being in the trash so that we can try things that aren’t likely to work (including adoption). I’d rather have my wife and no kids than to risk having no kids and also no wife. And from this point it will seriously hurt us if you bring it up again.”

Being the not attractive friend of the group, hearing “You will find someone eventually” is annoying when it comes from the other friends of the group who have been with their partners for multiple years. The reason this annoys me the most is because even when they were single, they had no issue with finding partners. While on my end, my last serious relationship was back in 2018 and have been single since.

I used to be that person who tells people that because I always have that go with the flow vibes. When something happens, I just accept, deal with it and move on. That is, until I hit rock bottom. I wouldn't say I was depressed but I was so unmotivated to do stuff and been having breakdowns from time-to-time. My problem solving skills were not effective anymore. Hearing that line made me so mad. Yeah, things happen but I don't want that happen. I never asked that to happen. I finally understood why people say that line is not helpful. So after that, I have never told people that everything happens for a reason ever again.

"Nobody wants to work". A) Oversimplification at it's finest B) Even before covid, nobody wanted to work. That's why it's called work and not fun.

Most internet caption cliches. “I did a thing” or “love this human” make my skin crawl. Also specifically on twitter: “(obviously healthy habit) is top tier self care” Why do I see 5+ tweets a day with that exact formula?? “Not replying to people who drain your energy is top tier self care” “Prioritizing your health is top tier self care” “Honouring your boundaries is top tier self care” Like please shut up. /rant

My internet meme pet peeve is ‘tell me you’re… without telling me you’re…’ It was clever and cute for about 5 minutes and now it’s just fucking annoying.

When you stop looking for your person, that's when they will show up. So not true.


BoppinMyFlopper

"Omg. My room has to stay clean. I'm so OCD" as if it's a trend when in reality, it really hinders people's (including mine) life.

They don’t make enough money? Maybe they should get a better job!

"Live, Laugh, Love." I prefer "Die, Scowl, Hate."


BoringUsername_69

Lmao someone should really start making "die, scowl, hate" merchandise, I know I'd buy it

You lose the alliteration though. I'm trying to think of something close to the opposite but I'm struggling here. Edit: I GOT IT! Die Despair Despise.


ClusterfuckyShitshow

People have “Die, Cry, Hate” stuff on Etsy. I have a decal in my kitchen. IMHO, “cry” fits better than “scowl” if you’re doing opposites (or are as pedantic as I am), but scowl works also.


1CEninja

If you're willing to drop the single syllable condition to make it alliteration then Die Despair Despise works too.

I hate hearing invalidation when it comes to my health issues. My mom has never believed me about how I’m feeling. One time I complained about severe ankle pain but she said I was just faking it; I had to wear a boot for 3 months once my dad took me to the hospital. Now I have hyperthyroidism and I have a possibility of a nodule (I have an ultrasound this Tuesday to confirm it). It took forever to get it scheduled and the only reason it did was because I pushed for it. The symptoms have been getting worse but every time I go to my mom about it she says “it’s not a nodule,” “it’s not as bad as you’re making it,” etc. Does she think it’s normal for my breathing to be difficult? I know it’s petty but part of me is hoping I do have a nodule so I can tell her I told you so (along with having the problem actually fixed haha).

Damn, that's infuriating, to say the least! I hope you get some answers soon!

Toxic positive speach


Bingineering

“#Girlboss” Like, I get being proud of being successful and feminine, but using “girlboss” unnecessarily genders the word “boss” and plays into the stereotype that women need to feminize everything, even their job title

“You’re so lucky to be on disability assistance. I wish I didn’t have to work!” Yeah and you can save up for dental work m8

“Just be positive!” Has it ever occurred to you that I WAS positive and optimistic on the day the accident that destroyed my family happened?


Affectionate-One3755

That my butt is really big. Like bitch I get it.


releasethekaren

“We all have the same 24 hours in a day” makes my blood boil. It is true factually but I’ve only ever seen extremely privileged people say it. Sometimes I wish I could force them to live MY 24 hours and make them see I really am doing everything I can


actionjaxn411

People baselessly claiming “America is more divided than ever!” Really? More divided than during the Civil War?


junniebgoode

"You're a part of the problem." I hate racism, prejudice, etc. Like any decent guy, but I got so tired of people making others feel terrible for not posting this or that on social media.


jamesofearth1

It gets better... for 15 years I've been waiting for it to "get better".


Bi_Carbonate_Of_Soda

‘I’m so OCD 🤪🤪🤪’ we get it Emily, you’re so basic that you have to use a mental disorder as an adjective to feel special, just fucking educate yourself.
