Finally. You know how hard it is to find a private place to cry? In the men's bathroom, there's like two other sobbers. Then at the park, I gotta compete with the crying homeless people. Coffee shop? No good. Workers are crying.

This is a needed service.

A sad reality indeed.

Pack it up, boys...this sublemmy is done. This is peak aboringdystopia. Nothing else could possibly compete with this.

We may be holding President Elect's beer when civil war breaks out and Trump wants to turn NYC into a 300 square mile parking lot.

OK, obviously this is just...fucked.

That being said though. I live in an apartment complex and am shy / do not want to bother people.

I can't count the number of times I've been crying / sobbing but held myself back from full on screaming into the void to relieve my soul.

Mayyyyybe this would help? Still fucked though.

(Actually, the only time I've been able to fully let go and scream while crying as an adult was when just so happening to be next to a torrendous river. I could not possibly scream loud enough to be heard by anyone. It is so freeing to just scream everything off your soul. 10/10 would recommend. Sorry for kinda off-topic.)

This only works if you are super repressed to begin with. Believe me, you run into diminishing returns.

[–] Evotech@lemmy.world 4 points 4 months ago

That's kinda the problem though. If you live somewhere so cramped you can't even find a private space to cry

Another $20 I have to spend to cope, since... its inappropriate to sob with a friend?

I thought it was a bunch of S-O-B's for a minute. Completely different vibe.

SOBs need a good sob now and again, would probably make them less SOBy
