“reddit hug” just fucking execute me between the eyes like a sick dog
Someone did the same/similar shit like a week or two ago and it reached hot as well. Gilded and everything. Reddit is so fucking depressing.
Disingenuous bullshit.
Depression and mental illness cured with one post.
I don’t need my medication no more. Thanks reddit for the cure!
Jesus, I talk to friends online that iv never met about hard times but really?? On Reddit??
The reason words of encouragement are nice is because it comes from a trust worthy person you know who understands your situation. These people on Reddit literally give zero fucks and know nothing
Venting to people you know and care about can be hard. Sometimes talking to a complete stranger works best.
You're right, but that doesn't mean that there should be a Reddit thread for it. IIRC there are some sites you can talk to for advice from a stranger.
It especially doesn’t belong in askreddit... R/offmychest is for venting as far as I know
I hate people like them. No sympathy is better than false sympathy.
weekly natural human question that no ones cares about presented by askreddit
“My grandma died and I lost my house”
“ im so sorry here’s a reddit hug 🤗”
Fucking embarrassing
All better
It’s fucking bullshit that this persons is pretending to care and be all “wholesome” when people are actually venting even tho all the guy cares about is karma.
Then again, I’m sure at least 60% of those stories are made up anyways
askreddit users never get tired of obsessive ops replying to everyone, do they? i'm not even subbed there and seeing them always makes me wanna vomit
It’s so annoying I agree!That’s the way to get the most karma so people answer even if your answer is ass you are always gonna be seen as “le witty quirky Reddit funny man” or something and people will give you thousands of upvotes per reply. Makes me want to end myself lol
Honestly I’m this close from unsubbing from there. The bad is very much beginning to outweigh the good
The mod’s stickied post is a convenient copy-n-paste job, the context of which he stopped caring about immediately after saving the text file to his cluttered desktop.
Fake wholesomeness on Reddit is an epidemic, it's all disingenuous and it comes off as disingenuous too.
Funny how Reddit collectively seems to think they’re superior to instagram but they do the same exact shit IG does. IG is filled with assholes who pat themselves in the back while doing the least amount of good deeds as possible
That thread is seriously saddening.
‘My life is going extremely poorly right now. I truly don’t know how I’m going to put food on the table for my kids.’
‘hErE’s a rEdDiT hUg’
I've had one of the shittest months I've known so far. All this fucking "need hug" crap did was remind me that I've had most of my life torn up.
Fuck every single post like this. I don't need a fucking internet hug. I need to get a fucking house and apply for rent assistance. A fucking internet hug won't help for shit unless it can fill out forms.
🤗
Fill out my forms bub.
40k up votes for this shit? Wow
A reddit hug is about as useful as a paper mache bomb shelter
"Yes please"
"hugs"
Yes because reddit hugs are worth so much right?
Lol, topped off with the mod bravely posting le suicide hotline list. And being gilded for it.
Peak reddit.
One of the responses. Couldn’t be any faker than this
They flip the fuck out when someone sends thoughts and prayers but this shit is cool?
[deleted]
At least some stranger who has never met me says they "love" me, that must make my life full of meaning and happiness now!
Holy shit you're right, that's actually mind boggling. Mental gymnastics!
God, that's just gross.

AN HERO
Who doesn't afraid of anything.

It's not even remotely helpful. In the US you call the hotline and you get a free ride in the wee-woo car to a padded cell without shoelaces, bedsheets, or pants. They then bill you $10,000, so none of that bullshit ends up being free. And that's if they actually pick up the phone. Fuck that suicide hotline and everyone who perpetuates it.
I’m actually thinking about killing myself after seeing that post
Hugs
We did it suicidal thoughts are no more
Sending a reddit hug your way. Give me karma now.
Ummm I'll leave this here just in case... Sorry for the wall I can't find the condensed version.

Edit: Adding more. Also, formatting is atrocious because Mods were peacefully sleeping when I made this comment, I've seen us do this before in similar threads, forgot the mod account credentials, spilled my coffee, and couldn't format it on my phone properly, just wanted to get something up for people.
SO BRAVE
How about the phone sex hotline? Or just your mom's number.
But think about all the people who loosened that noose the instant they saw that, phoned their hotline and got their life back on track. Doing the lord's work, don't be so disparaging.
