all these 'not reading this' comments make me feel sad
I understand why people don't want to read it (long post/wall of text) but I care about this intensely
It's super fucking depressing. But it's also real, and it matters, a lot.
I totally understand not wanting to read every single trauma dump on the internet, because life is kinda shit for everyone without adding other people's shit on top of it. But things like this do matter a lot.
Does it count if I stopped reading after the 3rd paragraph because it gave me bad anxiety due to bad memories? Because I want to know if I should try my best to give it a full read through anyway.
I'm fairly certain you especifically are not contributing to the problem, if it makes you relive bad memories, so don't feel bad for not finishing it.
It doesn't get better from there
I didn’t plan to read it at first, but I did, and I’m glad I did. It’s a new perspective I didn’t know about or remotely understood before.
A little more irritating that people feel the need to announce it, but, go figure, meme.. Sublemmy?
People are justified and not wanting to read that though. It is easy to OCR images with text, and OP should have done that initially. They have done it since so it's all good.
