Unpopular opinion: most youth have not experienced a real anxiety attack and/or a mental breakdown, nor will they. And the fact that they are always going "omg I had two anxiety attacks today." is vaguely annoying.

and yes I do mean the youth on this site.

So what qualifies? I mean, does the crying from stress from school pressure count?
Daaaaaang I was always going to do something like this!!!

@The-N-U-T-Cracker

@Periwinkle_

This is what they looked like when I’ve seen them. They weren’t swaddled pets or anything, just out in the wild acting normally and getting angry when a kid trespasses into their territory (which happened to be my backyard).

Have you ever seen one in person? Bc they’re horrifying

Yes I have, there was one who used to hang out at our back porch and eat any scraps of food our cats/chickens left behind. She was such an angel, as in seriously, she wouldn’t hurt a fly. My horrible, heartless, and terrible older sister would often try and chase her off with a broom like some old lady with a stray cat, and yet she never hissed, she’d shyly back away and run back off into the field, but never hissed or attacked.
Haven’t seen her in a year which makes me really sad :(

There was also the opossum that kept getting stuck in my grandma’s window, he couldn’t have been older than 4 months, and was just the cutest thing ever. Even my grandma, who hates opossums with a passion, thought he was kind of cute :)

I’ve just always loved opossums, I have one as my laptop background and profile picture, I’ve got a collection of cute opossum photos to make me smile, and since I’m secretly 5, I still sleep with my favorite opossum plushie at night. Her name is Blossom, Blossom the Opossum, and I love her very much.

…And don’t get me started on my obsessions with chinchillas, snakes, and Yorkshire Terriers…

@Periwinkle_

I agree with half of that opinion. I love that music, and I hate that a lot of “music” that’s popular is about people being obnoxious and loud and talking instead of singing and a bunch of weird sounds. But it doesn’t make you any better than anyone else, you’re right.

@ElderGod-Icefire

i have never read them, my mom thinks they are satanic and I just wanted to start a fight yeeah. I'm just tired of everything being "Harry Potter this" and "Harry Potter that" it fucking irritates me

Unpopular opinions:

  1. (most of) your unpopular opinions are actually pretty popular and you only think they're unpopular because you're a narcissist you just want to seem relatable or get a rise out of others
  2. All baby boomers should just stop working altogether. They're ruining the economy. Let them retire, and let there be more jobs for me for our generation

  3. Dogs aren't that great.

  4. Concerts suck.
  5. Roleplays are cringy and meaningless if you think about it enough (yes, i'm aware that i'm in over 15 roleplays)
  6. This one is actually very popular, but: lots of [younger] people (especially on this site, my god) claim to be depressed. Feeling sad isn't the same as depression. Don't self diagnose yourself.
  7. Speaking of self-diagnosing, anyone who does that just wants attention, and you know what? I hope that whatever they self-diagnosed themselves with, they actually get said disorder and suffer.
  8. Literally no one online cares about your feelings. And if they say they do, they're lying. Or trying to make you feel good about yourself so that they can manipulate you in the future.
  9. No one truly accepts humanity. And if you say that you do then there's a shiny sticker for you that says LIAR in aisle 5. Humanity includes criminals and furries. Imagine the worst person you know. The second you can accept that person is the second that you might be able to come close to accepting everyone. The word for what y'all are is tolerant.
  10. People be talking about diverse characters. If you really want to be so damn diverse make the main character have vitiligo. Make their best friend a hermaphrodite. Enough with the white main character and the side characters as pocs and trans and disabled and all that. It's annoying. And it isn't that hard to make your character different than what you're used to.
  11. Biphobia is real in the lgbtq+ community
  12. 97% of white people have racist tendencies whether they realize it or not.
  13. Respect is a two-way street. If someone is older than you and they're being disrespectful, you don't have to be polite to them.

Anyway.

So @Lori_the_King I agree with a lot of what you said but like…are you okay? If you need to talk about anything my PMs are always open if you need to talk about something/rant/cry/whatever. i mean you probably aren't gonna because of number eight but… that's your choice

@Periwinkle_

Unpopular opinion: Lori most ouf your opinions suck. You should learn that there are a whole lotta things that aren’t black and white like you think they are. Namely that everyone that self diagnoses themselves are lying for attention and that everyone on the internet doesn’t care. (Those are the two that stuck out the most to me but there are others as well)

No it doesn't. That's being stressed out.

Panic attacks are debilitating. Meaning that a person cannot function for a period of time. Like a seizure without the unconscious part. (Most panic attacks will knock out a person afterward though, just because of exhaustion.) It's not: "I started crying and shaking and I was scared. Boo hoo. Pay attention to me." If you are experiencing a real panic attack, authorities need to be called and you need to get to a hospital. That's how serious it is.

Mental breakdowns are even worse. Like panic attacks on crack and the person actually loses sense of reality and needs to be hospitalized with 24 hour care. It's not casual or cute at all.

One, I'm pretty sure that wasn't an unpopular opinion. I'm sure most people agree with you because I attacked their kind. And I never said you had to agree with me, they're my opinions. And frankly I don't care if you do or not.
I'm well aware that the world isn't in black and white. There are some people who self-diagnose themselves because it's painfully obvious. I'm talking about the specific young groups that romanticize mental disorders and announce to the world that they have depression the second they start feeling sad.
And yes, I'm aware that there exceptions, such as long distance relationships and all that. But I'm saying the likelihood of someone actually caring about you, your opinions, your feelings, and all that are slim to none. Especially if you've never met them before.
