when things get too real for me_irl

For relatable posts that are too real for !me_irl. Meaning jokes/posts about mental health issues and self deprecating humour.

This is a subreddit for memes that hit too close to home or are too real for communities like !me_irl

If you have depression, talk to a therapist, it really does help. You are not alone, and recovery is possible and worth it.

If you find jokes about suicide, depression or self harm upsetting, this sub might not be the right place for you. This is a place for people who use self deprecating humor as a coping mechanism, not for those making fun of mental illness.

With that out of the way, the rules are as follows:

Just try talking to people first. It sucks, but it is a skill that requires practice. And know that rejection does not mean you are worth any less, it is subjective.

Yea I get it, I have a few friends and am fairly social, I even go work out 3 times a week at the climbing gym. It's the rejection sensitivity that's come from a few incidents that makes it challenging to even initiate. But yea maybe someday whenever I get over it or just push through.
