Welcome to the Unpopular Opinion community!

How voting works:

Vote the opposite of the norm.

If you agree that the opinion is unpopular give it an arrow up. If it's something that's widely accepted, give it an arrow down.

Guidelines:

Tag your post, if possible (not required)

If your post is a "General" unpopular opinion, start the subject with [GENERAL].
If it is a Lemmy-specific unpopular opinion, start it with [LEMMY].

Rules:

1. NO POLITICS

Politics is everywhere. Let's make this about [general] and [lemmy] - specific topics, and keep politics out of it.

2. Be civil.

Disagreements happen, but that doesn’t provide the right to personally attack others. No racism/sexism/bigotry. Please also refrain from gatekeeping others' opinions.

3. No bots, spam or self-promotion.

Only approved bots, which follow the guidelines for bots set by the instance, are allowed.

4. Shitposts and memes are allowed but...

Only until they prove to be a problem. They can and will be removed at moderator discretion.

5. No trolling.

This shouldn't need an explanation. If your post or comment is made just to get a rise with no real value, it will be removed. You do this too often, you will get a vacation to touch grass, away from this community for 1 or more days. Repeat offenses will result in a perma-ban.

Instance-wide rules always apply. https://legal.lemmy.world/tos/

You're irrelevant, I'm irrelevant, we're going to die and most of us will die in obscurity (self.unpopularopinion)

What makes you think you matter? You don't. Sure you have a small group of people that like you, but I don't like you because I don't know you. The person walking down the street doesn't care about you. You talk tough and that's it. You're irrelevant to the grand scheme. When the earth begins to burn you're going to burn along with the vast majority of the rest of the world. No one cares. You want to hate, fine. Do it. Where does that get you at the end of the day? No where. And you will continue being nothing to so many people. Stamp your feet, scream, cry. Do whatever you have to do. It will change nothing. You can change nothing. Regardless of how hard you try to impact people, you never will. And why is that? Because you're irrelevant. You're dissatisfied with everything and everyone around you because you can never be satisfied and that makes you miserable. So what do you do? You share your misery. You do the same exact thing that's been done to you so many times, but that's ok right? Because it's not your fault right? Everyone screams for change, but all we do is the same things over and over again. So if that's the case, why does it matter? Why do you matter? Whit makes you and your thoughts more important than the next person? You're not good enough because no one is good enough and no one ever will be.

What I find the funniest is blaming everything around you as being wrong, you're surrounded by bad people and enemies, yet you never question whether you're the problem. Don't worry about it though because it's a new minute so I'm sure you have something new to hate

Do you have any hobbies or activities you like to do or look forward to?

I enjoy photography. Don't misunderstand. I'm not depressed. Just truly fed up with people. I've said it a million and one times, but this time it felt like something clicked. I just can't even care anymore. So many people just wish ill will for no reason except they can. How important do you have to think of yourself to do that? Why waste energy ro hate? So I would much rather not spend any energy at all on the people that don't deserve it. I feel it was more of a courtesy for me to post it than anything. Hope that doesn't sound conceited

Why should you let what other people do get to you? People wish ill will all the time, people hate for no reason all the time, and do other horrible stuff. The reality of the world is that it's a bit of a turd IMO, but I don't think you should let all the negative stuff shape your view.

There are people that care about others too much, and people that do too much good for their own good IMO. There are people that try and make a tiny corner of the planet a better place.

Surround yourself with people that put you first, and people that care about you, I don't think its worth letting shitty people and horrible events live rent free in your mind.
