To tell you this...

[HeartStrings]

YOU are beautiful
YOU are amazing
YOU are special
YOU are loved

That person who's staring right back at you when you look in the mirror is worthy of a good life!
You deserve to love yourself
You deserve happiness

No matter how depressed, stressed, anxious, angry etc you are today it's only temporary. Hang in there and know the world will sparkle again through your eyes

YOU are beautiful
YOU are amazing
YOU are special
YOU are loved

How do you know that? I could be ugly and a twat

@Migrainefun you are beautiful on the inside and a special, amazing, much-loved twat 😆

Great Post OP

It’s the Nethuns isn’t it?

This sort of drivel is just not mumsnet

🤢🤢🤢 This is the sort of shite that makes me roll my eyes and keep scrolling when I see it on facebook.

They're just words on a screen written by a complete stranger who knows nothing about me or my situation apart from the bits I choose to share so they're meaningless and empty.

"It's a message aimed at anyone in any situation"

And therefore completely meaningless.

If it applies to the man who shoved me out of the way on the train this morning as well as to myself, how on earth is it helpful?

We don't have to give in to this twee, sentimental shite in order to live happily.

"Hate this patronising twaddle. However, I am a psychopath in a high security prison so probably don't have a beautiful soul."

You are a beautiful psychopath and your prison is beautiful and you are beautiful.

Everything is beautiful.

It’s like those crap poems in greetings cards. Completely insincere.

aka vomit verses.

Aw thanks Livein.

(Dabs mouth with napkin after eating cell mate).

Sorry about the twat who shoved you

Thank you I'm having a s----y time hubby very poorly and I don't think I'm coping very well x

I know you mean well, OP, but messages like:

No matter how depressed, stressed, anxious, angry etc you are today it's only temporary. Hang in there and know the world will sparkle again through your eyes

are really not helpful to people who are genuinely depressed or anxious.

Everyone is beautiful inside and out

Everyone is beautiful inside? Serial killers, abusers, psychopaths, rapists, bullies?

Jesus fucking Christ some of you are precious!

It was a well intended message to lift up anyone who needed it.

If you don't like it, don't agree with it or feel that it doesn't apply to you... MOVE ON. Don't leave a shitty or sarcastic reply intended to make the OP feel like shit when she was just trying to spread some fucking joy in this depressing world we're living in!

Thank you OP!

It is indeed twee shite.

It doesn't apply to everyone even if you'd like it to. It's not remotely original. The world doesn't 'sparkle' through many people's eyes. If I wanted to read such twaddle I'd glance at Facebook and see a lake of it...

It was a well intended message to lift up anyone who needed it.
And many of us are sick of that sort of crap because it's everywhere. So what?

Oh THANK YOU!! What a wonderful, kind thing to post! And same back atcha!! x

@Cheeserton - Then ignore and move on? Why put down someone who has tried to lift someone else up because YOU don't agree with it?

If this message isn't hitting you where you need it, it's easy to ignore.

OP needs to do this today, so don't go out of your way to be bitchy back. You have no idea what she is trying to manage.

Hope you are ok @PinkButterfly855 and @HeartStrings .

I love mumsnet!

It was a well intended message to lift up anyone who needed it.

The problem with 'one size fits all' motivational messages is that they can do more harm than good. Also - and I am not saying this applies to the OP; it's a general observation about this sort of message - some people think they have 'done their bit' by posting this sort of thing on social media - it can give people a false sense of virtue.

Mumsnet is a site where lots of people post about problems, illness, bereavement, difficult family situations and all kinds of emotional turmoil.

I would suggest (in the kindest way) that anyone who wants to do their bit and cheer someone up, finds a specific thread and posts a thoughtful message of advice or support, tailored to that person's situation. There's no shortage of threads on which supportive words would be welcomed, and making the effort to respond individually is far better than copying a pasting a generic message that applies to everyone or no one.

It was a well intended message to lift up anyone who needed it.
And it was put here on a discussion board (there's a clue there). Like many others who think this sort of worthless shite isn't any good, I'm perfectly entitled to state my view on it. Just like you didn't ignore and move on from my opinion.

This sort of “wisdom” can make you feel worse when you’re down, especially when your situation isn’t only temporary.

I though it was a wind up

Peace all

'Live, love and laugh'
