So first of all I have nothing against venting. In fact, this is the right place for it. Many people here have it rough. Talk about your hardships, seek advice and help in this sub if you need it. Just don’t extend your pessimistic outlook in life to other people. As I said above, you’re free to vent, call yourself a loser, but you have no right to call the entire sub a bunch of losers. You know nothing about our lives other than the fact that we’re unemployed. Does being unemployed automatically make me a loser? I could be succeeding in other non-job related areas of life and you would never know.

Some examples I’ve noticed in this sub:

1. Redditor A came here honestly asking for advice on how to make friends. Redditor B commented “In real life? Forget it”. You see the problem here? Just because Redditor B has trouble making friends, he automatically assumed that it’s impossible for everyone else to do so, therefore influencing Redditor A to lose all hope, instead of contributing with anything positive. Worst part? He was freaking upvoted by everyone.

2. A post titled “life is so f*cking boring for subhumans like *us*”. No, mate. Speak for yourself. You dont know anything about our lives to assume that. Your life is boring, not mine.

3. Another post titled “for neurodivergent NEETs: have you already accepted that your life will always be mediocre and defeated within the capitalist system?”. Not true. There are plenty of neurodivergent people living happy fulfilled lives out there. You can turn the tables too.

TL;DR: Stop spreading negativity to others. Either contribute with something positive to this sub, or keep your mouth (or fingers) shut. If you want to vent about your hardships, we are here to hear you and offer help/advice, just stop telling everyone else should feel sorry for themselves or lose hope just because that happens to be *your* case
