Venting I’m so sick of people telling me to hang on because life will get better.

I don't understand how people think that you can just get through everyday despite how awful life may be and that it's bound to get better. I live in constant suffering and I'm sick of it.

Every single time I try to bring up my problems anonymously on the internet or to anyone I always get the same response.

I just wished people would actually listen instead of trying to give me false hope that my life will ever become worth living.

I just want my feelings and problems to be acknowledged rather than to be dismissed.

That phrase is sort of a go-to from people who don't understand. I've been hearing it for years. I'm sorry people are so invalidating and dismissive of your feelings.

This.

Unfortunately most people seems to be like that, it's very difficult to find someone who can listen to you and your problems without judgement or "empty phrases", but to try to acknowledge your state, especially IRL. People are really terrible at this.

I hope this will change one day, as well as for the rest of us.

Those people often haven't been suicidal themselves so they will never be able to comprehend what it is like. In this society there is an attitude that we have to live and push through life no matter how much suffering we are going through. Quantity of life is seen as more important than quality of life. I would rather others accept and agree that my situation is hopeless rather than be told positive phrases that don't help anything.

if u want a change you gotta try sth different. Things wont get better if you remain in the same place doing nothing.

Things will get better, I know you will find happiness one day, there's light at the end of the tunnel.

I've heard these types of sayings for YEARS and things have only got worse.

I hear these things a lot from people who have suffered from depression in their past and luckily for them they've seemed to have gotten their life back. But not all of us are that lucky, and I'm just so tired, not sure how much longer I can hold on for things to get better.

Alot of people who talk like that probably don't believe in their bs themselves. They just feel the need to make sure they dont end up with the feeling that "they could have said something to prevent it." I suspect. Either way I usually just stop talking to people who think they can bullshit me that easily .
