which is not a healthy thing to do*
reach out if you are struggling you not strong because you dont reach out. You are Strong Because you do Reach out.
Fuck your post.
I appreciate the intent of your comment. If you'll allow me a counterpoint: in my opinion different people gain strength differently. Some people find solace in quiet reflection alone. Also, not everyone has someone that they feel comfortable reaching out to about each of their struggles. Ideally they would, but not always. You can be there for yourself, as you would be there for others.
I understand what you are trying to say "don't generalize" I myself am one of the a-holes who rather sit in thought for 3 days, but everytime this is a recipe for a downward spiral i dont suffer from depression i consider myself healthy.
I'm wrong for being offended by something that doesnt affect me as a person, but i did knew people which would still be here if they had reached out, (1/2)
and the sad part (which i gues was the part that triggered me) is that they even said in their memoirs is that they felt like they'd be laughed at for reaching out and telling others about their struggles.
your post feels like a super slippery slope to me that does more harm than good in my eyes. it reads to me "if you want to be like a strong person dont reach out."
(sorry for bad grammar english is not my first language) (2/2)
