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.

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.

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

knyexar•

Venting to people you know and care about can be hard. Sometimes talking to a complete stranger works best.

12
JoeyGameLover•

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

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

27
Divemissile•

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

21
BenJammin007•

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

6
Guypussy•

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

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.
