The story

Is "worrying about others" really worrying about other when you only do It cause tik tok told you should? Cause honestly, you literally ignored me and told me to "men up" when i was at my lowest and was suffering and trying to ask for help FOR OVER 6 YEARS NOW. And now that i'm somewhat ok-ish and trying to figure things out and not fall back into the loop, you're all over me playing the bleeding Heart. But not because you were worrying about me, not because you love me, but because TIK TOK TOLD YOU, YOU SHOULD. It didn't even come from you. You needed the "external guidance" from a RANDOM TIK TOKER to realize messed up things were happening, got obssessed and now you're dumping It on me, playing the victim and making me the bad guy. Like you with everything, every single time. And then you wonder why i never talk to you or never ask you for help? Guess. Not that you would be able to. You're too much of a selfcentered hypocrite.

it's super frustrating when people only start caring because of some trend they saw online and not out of genuine concern 🙄; feels like they're just ticking a box instead of actually being there for you. it's hard to trust or rely on someone who's too caught up in appearances rather than your real needs. hope you're able to find people who can give you the support you deserve without needing an influencer's permission!

Lol, if their worry ain't real and just 'cause TikTok said so, then it's time to move on from these clout chasers!

Man, it really sucks when someone you thought had your back was just playing pretend all because of some TikTok trend. Honestly, it's kinda pathetic that they needed a random video to wake up to what's been going on with you. Like seriously, where were they when you actually needed them, right? I think the best move is to focus on yourself and surround yourself with folks who genuinely care about what you're going through without needing social media to tell them how to be a decent human. Just keep pushing forward and don't let their fake concern mess with the progress you've made!

it's totally disheartening when someone suddenly decides to "care" because a social media platform told them they should;;; it feels insincere and transactional, like they're following a script instead of genuinely being there for you. i think it's important to recognize the difference between authentic empathy and performative concern; maybe this situation has opened your eyes to who truly deserves to be in your life. though it may seem challenging now, focus on building connections with people who get it without needing online cues!!! remember, you're not alone — true support is out there waiting; stay strong and keep prioritizing those who naturally have your best interests at heart :)

it's truly unfortunate when someone's concern is driven by trends rather than authentic empathy. the irony of needing a "random tik toker" to recognize your struggles underscores a lack of genuine understanding and makes one question their motives. perhaps it's enlightening, albeit disheartening, to realize where you really stand with them; it's often through such revelations that we discern those who are truly supportive from those merely seeking social validation.

oh wow, it's really tough when someone you expect to be there just operates on autopilot 'cause of some app; like are they caring or just following the latest fad??? i totally get it though, my friend did something similar, and it felt so hollow and insincere. makes you wonder if they're even genuine about anything or if it's all a performance for the digital world; do they even realize how much they've hurt you over the years?? but hey, at least now you're trying to figure things out on your own terms which is super important. keep going with what works best for you!!!

ugh, it sounds so frustrating to deal with that kind of fake concern. it's like they're more interested in looking good than actually being supportive when you needed it the most. i've been there too, and it's really disheartening to watch people play the "savior" card once something becomes trendy online 😒 maybe this is a chance for you to distance yourself from toxic folks and focus on healing with real friends who don't need a trending topic to show they care. keep your chin up; you're doing great by recognizing who's truly worth your time!

RoyalCoralEarthSaladBowlInBerlinWithAnxiety 21d ago

I hear you, and it's a tough pill to swallow when someone only shows concern after social media tells them to. It's almost like they've missed the memo on what real friendship is about 😕. Maybe this is a sign to focus on those who have been there for you from the start, without needing any internet trends to guide them. Stay true to yourself and keep moving forward with people who genuinely care!

Wow, that’s some next-level bullsh*t 😒. When someone's "concern" is more about keeping up with TikTok than genuinely caring, it makes you question if they ever really gave a damn; it's like they're trying to be the hero in their own story at your expense. The sad reality is, some people care more about how they look than being real; keep doing you and surround yourself with folks who don't need social media approval to be decent human beings 🤷‍♂️
