What's worse is when they say things like "Just get over it", or "I suffered from depression too" or just flat out deny your issues and put you down for even showing the slightest bit of weakness, as if it helps you in some way. It's why I have never come forward to anybody I know personally about my intention to CTB.

Tell me about it these people are the biggest sanctimonious arseholes and pieces of shit because they do not understand that just because they were able to overcome it is NOT the same for everyone. What worked for one person may not work for another person we are all different.
I experienced this rescently. I used to belong to a digital detox group that promotes wellness and a lifestyle of trying to spend less time online by promoting particular methods to achieve this. People in the community regularly shared there own experiences of being victims of online bullying and harassment.
In the community I shared my experiences of being dismissed by other women in online communities for women whenever I share my sadness of being single and never being successful in love while other women I grew up with are getting married. The men and women in the community pretty much didn't listen, blamed me for being single, patronised judged me. It was a nightmare which was why I left.
â—Ź One woman let's call her A - She said I need to "put myself out there". I already explained I have the natural confidence to talk to people but all my life guys ignored me and dont want to know me. She responded saying how "use dating apps". I explained I don't feel comfortable using dating apps because me being a black woman growing up my whole life I have experienced never being seen as pretty while racial groups got desired even men of my own race harassed me and abused me while they were always nicer to the white women and girls. I read dating apps have a very low succes rate for black women I don't want to go through a competition I won't win. She is a white woman, she doesn't get how hard it is for black women to find love due to society and men attracted to eurocentric standards of beauty.
She proceeds to criticise me for my poor "attitude" and how its my fault I am single. She went on about her experiences of not being attractive and having a facial swelling deformity and how she met her husband on a dating app. Not everyone is lucky
â—Ź Another woman let's call her B- she talked about her experiences of male rejection but she never let it get to her. She says she has husband now and how I need to put myself out there. This same woman went on about London having free therapy and how I am not trying. I live in London and these free therapies and low cost options have restrictions. NOT ALL of London is the same every area is different. Some areas have more mental health care options than others.
I have had issues navatigating healthcare in this country I am not going through it again.
â—Ź Another user let's call him C- He said how I need to go gym, "put myself out there" and wear make up. I don't need gym I slim build already and I am very feminine in how I dress.
Everyone blamed me for the reason why I am single and don't have friends. Woman A said "there is a reason why you struggle to make friends"
Just because they were lucky to find partners doesn't mean it will happen for everyone else. Life doesn't give us what we want.
Exactly! People do move on.
I have seen 13 Reasons why. Hannah was not only bullied but also raped and I don't think the show made any impact. The people who get bullied could relate but the one who bully others do not care, they do not change.
@a.fool This is why buillies need to be punished severely. The problem with bullying in schools is teachers allow bullies to get away with it. Parents of builles allow their piece of shit children to run riot and terrorise people. My builles parents were either clueless or complete pieces of shit its not surprising their sons terrorised the school population.
At school when I was being builled i fought back but the school punished ME regularly and not arseholes doing the bullying. These boys who builled me also terrorised the school population, run riot in the school and saw themselves as untouchable. The power of getting away with everything went to their heads .
