What grinds your gears?

For me it’s when people say ”My life is shit” but make no effort to change it.

What if there's just nothing you can do to change it?

@SW-User There’s always something. Unless you’ve been kidnapped and are stuck chained to a wall, then probably not. But the majority of ordinary people can change their lives if they want to.

@TheDogfather Yeah probably the majority but what about the others?

@SW-User Without a specific example I can’t really comment on that.

Every single post written on social media isn’t going to be applicable to every single human being.

@TheDogfather Someone with an incurable disease that's making their life hell, for example. Someone who's a target for relentless bigotry (especially if it's instiutionalized), as another. Someone who has tried to change their situation, failed and despaired. Someone with severe depression to the point where having a shower is a monumental task. I can think of lots of things.

@SW-User Again, those are the minority and I just said that this post and many others aren’t intended to apply to every person.

No offence was intended by this.

@TheDogfather I just get told stuff like that (and also that I'm attention-seeking) when I'm in the middle of a genuine suicide crisis and I'm afraid it touched a nerve, I'm sorry

@SW-User No no don’t apologise at all. I wasn’t intending it to be aimed at an individual but the majority.
