A rant to cheer us all up a bit
Does anybody else HATE the standard phrases so many people say to you?
“You’re so strong” “You’re doing so well” “It’s still so raw” “Everybody grieves in their own way” “Life has different plans for you”
It’s very well meaning of people so I always just smile and nod, but inside I think oh fuck off you patronising bastards 🤣 we don’t have a choice to be anything but! If you think we are strong, it’s because we only let you see us with our mask on, our fake happiness. You don’t see the grief, we hide it from you.
I’m curious what other ones I haven’t listed that irritate people, as I’m sure I’ll have heard them!
