What phrases really piss you off?

[アホペンギン]

For me, a few of examples:

"There are people worse off."

"Just pick yourself up."

"Life is beautiful."

I could easily knock someone out for quoting any of the above.

What phrases really piss you off?

My dad used to be very abusive towards me (verbally.) He had anger issues at the time and couldn't think clearly because of it and that is the reason why he was terrible to me. He is taking medicine now and heres the things he is saying to me now (he expects me to believe him after all he has said to me): "People have it worse than you, you are lucky.", "Don't worry about it, I will always be on your side, no matter what.", "I hate seeing you like this" (i doubt he truly cares about my emotions and only says this to make me stop being a burden to everyone.) and heres something about me, i believe i was born the wrong gender and this fuels my suicidal ideation, he knows this (not that im suicidal, of course, or i wouldn't be on this forum) but despite this he always says, without understanding how i truly feel: "Being a woman is the best thing that can happen to you. If I could choose, I would be a woman." Yes, maybe being a woman is better than being a man but thats only his opinion, not mine. I completely disagree with him.

You need to be out in the sun more, it's probably your vitamin d.

 

[Shaylla1998]

"Have a job and a family, this is reality"

This sentence reflects the frequent encounters I have with individuals expressing their weak and toxic ideologies, which I find to be deeply delusional in nature and very short sighted.

 

[bettertosleep]

"just think happy thoughts" is what my mom always says whenever i try to tell her about my depression

 

[Sapphire]

"Suicide is never an option. There is always a solution to every problem. You just have to find it."

 

[day]

I hate when I express my will to CTB by saying "the world is shit" and the person replies "that's just how it is". Like dude then why are you trying to tell me I shouldn't CTB…

 

[beolle]

"everything is possible" no it isn't
"time heals" no it adds up new layers of bullshit that inevitably come at you, not erasing the previous ones
"i tried X and now i'm so much better" good for you

 

[sensenmann]

"You only have one life" well thank goodness

 

[Minsu]

This sentence pisses me off by far:

I promise you, things will get better

 

[sadidiot0328]

"You're too young to be this sad."

"Why can't you be grateful for what God gave you?"

"Just be happy."

"Try meditating!"

Drives me up a damn wall.

 

[Aisley]

"Everything happens for a reason."

 

[Bronzehawkattack]

"Being alone forever isn't a reason to die, just be happy by yourself!" ~ Person on their 12th relationship who can't handle being alone.

 

[KarmaBus]

"It's a part of God's plan."
"You're here for a reason."
"Just turn to God."
"If you prayed harder or believed harder, then it all be fine."
"[Insert problem] is a test from God."

I grew up religious and heard everything in the book for bullshit religious reasons why problems/CTB/mental health don't exist and are the work of the devil.

I grew up religious as well. My all time fave:

"God never gives you more than you can handle."

 

[loyalskateboard]

This has a different tone than most of the other replies but "Touch base" and "Circle back" deserve a special place in hell

 

[onetimereject]

"There is help for everyone"

Depression is a life sentence.

 

[deomlez]

Have you thought about others?

You are weird/complicated/why do you bother?

Stop thinking/asking questions

Life is short (oh man no...)

 

[kindalone]

"It would be such a waste of life."
"It's so stupid to think that way."
"You are loved."

 

[LifeisDark]

I grew up religious as well. My all time fave:

"God never gives you more than you can handle."

My god that was one of the worst ones ever, like, if he never gives more then you can handle then he needs to re-evaluate how much is too fucking much

 

[Unattainable666]

When I tell someone I lost a child they will say, "Oh, I know exactly how you feel, I lost a brother, mother, father, dog, cat, - you get the gist. How fucking ignorant1

 

[cicadafriend]

"You're too young to be feeling this way"

 

[Wyldfyre4948]

"You need help"
"Coward"
"This too shall pass"
"I'm here if you need me"

 

[PyramidHead]

"It'll get better"

The most generic and insensitive phrase. Hasn't gotten better for 8 years, how much longer am I waiting? How much "better" is it going to get when I've wasted my youth and the most active periods of my life? Ridiculous

 

[leavingsoon99]

"What if you die, and it's WORSE!!!?"

"Life don't owe you SHIT!!!"

"Hey, we're all on this dirtball together!!!"

"Suicide is the pussy's way out. SACK UP!!!"

"You opened two gifts this morning. Your eyes."

"Do you have a roof over your head? Food? Shut the fuck up!!!"

"In life, you might not get all you pay for. But you HAVE TO pay for all you get!!!"

The list goes on. My favorite one was from ol' mommy dearest.

"Well, if you commit suicide, you just gonna go to hell."

 

[Parasitic]

"Suicide is a permanent solution to a temporary problem."

I've had this a few times and the simple response is "its not a temporary problem"

Just out of curiosity when everyone was reading each others contributions especially the ones you forgot to add, did your head read it in the voice of the person? Did for me.

I would say (trying not to repeat because I agree with pretty much all of them) "Everyone feels the same" This one pisses me off more than the rest because if that were the case why do pro lifers exist? Its such a stupid statement considering everyone is a different person who feels differently.
