got something to say. some of you won't like it. if you don't, it probably means you're getting defensive, or uncomfortable. which means you're guilty. which means this applies to you. remember that.
this has been in my drafts for a while. seems like a good time to say it.

i just have one request: if you do get mad midway, and decide you're going to attack me, the least you could do is read it all the way through, first. it's a very, very basic human request, to listen to everything a person has to say, before forming an opinion on it. that's all.
every single person on this app, on stan twitter, at least, preaches and preaches and preaches about mental health and mental wellbeing. but, ninety percent of the people on this app know nothing about it, and they certainly do not give a single fuck about it, either. +
once again, please, at least let me finish before you get angry.

it's not to go to their profile and see if they've had a basis for saying what they did. it's not to dm them and ask what they meant. it's not to see if they have any sort of explanation.
it's to join in, and attack them. point, laugh, mock, humiliate. +

most of you have absolutely no idea what it's like to have anxiety. and you certainly don't understand just how rare happiness can be, and how easy it is to take that away from a person. i can't blame you for that. but i can blame you for your lack of ability to empathize. or, +
at least, to try and understand.
all of your profiles claim that you want nothing but a safe space. a positive one. a kind one. but that only applies until it's something you disagree with, isn't it? and then it's just flooding another persons notifications, dms, while they +

aren't even here, probably asleep or at work or at school or dealing with a personal issue or doing just about anything else, and can't even explain what they were trying to say.

hundreds of people mad at them, and calling them a freak or worse, or telling them to end their own life, or that their friends and family hate them, or that the very person who is their comfort - just the way that person is yours' - hates them?

in your life had an anxiety attack, it doesn't mean you shouldn't at least try to understand how what you say and do can affect another person. at least fucking try.

demand explanations for things that are none of your fucking business, is laughable. and it's also fucking sad, to think of how that made up right of yours in your head, can ruin everything for someone else. and i mean everything. if you find that funny, then you really don't +
understand just how rare happiness can be.
and don't try to give me examples that are cases of obvious trolling, or ignorance. those are not what i'm talking about, and i think that's very clear. this is about minor situations. things that shouldn't bother you.

there's a very specific group of people here, who likes to say that being kind belongs to someone else, and is "not their thing". there's another group that likes to use that, and say that being kind should be everyone's thing. both are in the wrong: the first group, that's +
beyond fucked up to say. the second, they like to use that as a line of defence, not as something they actually mean. because being kind only applies to them, until it's an opinion they disagree with. i think the groups are obvious.

certain statements from up there to get mad at, instead of taking in the entire thing, that's toxic in and of itself. i very clearly referred to BOTH sides.

to the point of being a fucking asshole on the daily, you've got to rethink a hell of a lot of things.
there's a lot more things i could say, but this has definitely gone on for too long. i think my point is clear, though. just be kind, or, at least, think about the things +

you say, before you say them to another person. because it is another person, even if it's just a screen to you. it's twitter, not a battlefield, and the celebrities everyone's fighting over every damn day don't even KNOW us. they have our love and support and they always will, +
but they don't personally know us. we do know each other, at least on some level. it really should not be that hard to just be kind. it's not a game to attack, and it's not a moment of pride to be unkind. just be happy, and let others be, too. live and let live. please.
one last note, in case you're wondering: some things from this apply to me, too. and i know that. just wanted to clarify that, i'm out now. please, please, just try. that's all i ask.
