MODERATORS
All while having an army of people trying to exploit their trauma, pry into details to disseminate to the public, and / or trigger them into "outrageous" behaviors. They face pressure to maintain their image from people more concerned about their own paycheck than the mental health of the celebrity. On top that, there are no shortage of people eager to shit on them just because of their celebrity status.
Yes, celebrities have more resources, but they also face different challenges that most people cannot relate to which creates an increased feeling of isolation.
Anybody seeking help should have support and naysaying actively works against providing that support.
You seem to have a lot of animosity towards people with money. I'm not sure what the cause is, and it's none of my business, but I hope that you are able to find peace with that one day. It's a terrible burden to live with such negativity.
Dismissing the suffering of one person because others have it worse dismisses that trauma and suffering is subjective to the individual. You can almost always find a group or individual that has gone through something worse, and what is traumatic for one person might be common place for another. Everybody is different and everybody deserves the opportunity to seek help if they think it could benefit them.
Whatever you want to call it, it sounds like it brings a lot of negativity into your life. Have you tried talking to somebody about why you feel so personally offended by this behavior of this particular group of individuals. I really do hope that you can find a way to accept this thing that troubles you so much.
That's great to hear! I wish you a happy life.
Dude it's not about who has the biggest struggle, everyone struggling needs help in some way, even if it's to recognize how their struggle compares to others
@jesterraiin @EndOfLine I think I had to see what you mean in a really cold way and it's heart breaking as well as being a really complex topic, I think it's hard to understand for many people. Also very unseen :(
