MODERATORS
This Tweet (and all of its derivatives) is exactly the same level of not helpful.
Yeah, I hate seeing my feelings validated and knowing I'm not alone. ;)
That sets the bar quite high. A single tweet is not going to help in any substantial way, but it might be relatable.
Are you saying don't let perfect be the enemy of good? Because that would be a good tweet.
No, that's not what I'm saying. If you fight with depression, you need therapy. No tweet will help you. People saying "cheer up" try to help you and fail miserable. The tweet in the screenshot doesn't try to help or cure you. It's just a relatable tweet not doing much good but neither harming anyone
What isn't helpful about it, to you?
Even if 'cheer up' may be what some people need, the point of the tweet is it's un-empathetic to say this.
It's the passive-aggressiveness of the tweet. Being bitter and sarcastic won't make anyone's day better either.
