I Don't Know Who Needs To Hear This - Blog Posts
“If you have a bad day, remember that tomorrow is a wonderful gift and a new chance to try again”

Posts about self-positivity are not the place to vent your self-negativity. If you see a post saying something like “Wow, I feel really good about myself today! I hope you have a good day”, it’s very inappropriate to reply with something like “I wish I could, but I’m miserable and nobody has ever liked me”.
It’s fine to make posts venting your emotions (as long as they’re tagged appropriately!), but adding that to someone else’s post - especially if it’s about them feeling good - not only brings the mood down for everyone involved, but also violates important social boundaries
If you wouldn’t say it to a stranger who wished you a good day in public, you shouldn’t say it to a stranger who wished you a good day online. This goes for all types of positivity posts.
Just because they didn’t mean to be cruel doesn’t mean they weren’t cruel. Your hurt is still real even if their intention wasn’t to hurt you.
