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

Awww thanks hun 😘

(Everyone deserves happiness eh?!)

What twee shite

^^ This

You have no idea what she is trying to manage.

Well that's half the point really. YOU wouldn't know what people constantly bombarded with this simplistic tripe are dealing with and why they might be quite so sick of it. Touché.

Everything is temporary. Literally, everything. Life is fucking temporary, is it not?

Sorry for the dicks OP! Some people really thrive with putting other people down and believe they're above 'twee'

Well said @ScreamingValenta

Chill out @Emcont OP posted on AIBU, lots of people think she's being unreasonable. She got her answer. If she didn't want to be told that her post is shit irrelevant twee to lots of people she could have wrote it on a more appropriate thread ... or as already suggested, write a personal thoughtful message on one of the many threads where people need genuine thoughtful support and advice.

*Everything is temporary. Literally, everything. Life is fucking temporary, is it not?i

My friend has just been admitted to a hospice for end of life care. She is 36. Yes, life is temporary and her suffering will end soon but the world isn’t going to sparkle through her eyes. That sort of twee crap isn’t any comfort right now.

Sorry for the dicks OP! Some people really thrive with putting other people down and believe they're above 'twee'

Alternatively, people strongly disagree with such sentiment and actually find it harmful in some respects, and the only argument you can make against that is personal insult. Go play with glitter and unicorns, because everything's just fantastic eh?

@PurpleDaisies I feel for you, I lost my friend (32) last week, she was in a lot of pain due to ovarian cancer. She'd suffered huge tragedy during the six years she was poorly too - she'd had vomited at this twee, cliche wall-sticker shit. There was no 'meant to be!' or good karma or happy ending for her.

It's patronising - well intended though it may be.

It's naive.

I knew there'd be some savage responses here but I didn't realise there'd be so many

It is a pretty patronising post, but thanks for trying OP, it's clearly helped some people here!

I think you should have included 'today's a gift, that's why we call it the present' though

Purple

That's awful

Thanks martha and sorry for your loss marzipane.

Sorry for the thread derail.

Yeah I do believe I'm above twee stuff actually. As sentient adults, I believe most people are.

That kind of stuff is actively harmful to many.

I didn't think about the responses I get but I can only apologise to those I've hurt/offended/annoyed by posting this. It really wasn't my intention to make people feel worse or being people down

I think it was a lovely thought to post although inevitably you were going to receive some negative responses, that being the nature of AIBU...

I think the old adage, 'If you can't think of something nice to say, say nothing' is too often ignored on MN.

We can disagree but we don't have to be disagreeable.

Don't beat yourself up about having posted - you did nothing wrong. On the relationships board loads of supportive posts advise others that things will get better, people will feel better. Responses on this forum can be particularly 'hard line and harsh'.

@HeartStrings hey please don't worry..I was first to reply when you posted. I literally do not see anyone or speak for weeks. Was particularly down woo saw your post and it was lovely. No regrets !!

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

It was this that irritated me. So patronising. Depression is not temporary for me

By posting a generic thread title in aibu op invited negative responses.

Perhaps if she’d been more specific those of us whom find it twee, and more importantly those that have raised the point this type of message can do more harm than good in some situations, could have been warned beforehand about the possible content.

How do you know me?
Are you a stalker?
AIBU was my last refuge from this sort of goopy shite.
Now you've gone and ruined it
Thanks a lot.
