This might be top five comment on Lemmy that I’ve seen.
I appreciate what you put down here. I’m a white dude that is about as corn fed looking as they come. This comment made so much sense.
Thank you for taking the time to write this out.
Ok, I'm going to be completely honest with you. I can't tell if you're being sarcastic or not.
Are you telling me that I made a shit comment? If so, please do say so because I'm gonna be honest: I am not sure about this comment and I've been thinking about deleting it ever since I posted it. I rewrote it like five or six times before until I finally got fed up with it and said "fuck it" and posted it. :|
EDIT:
How did you interpret a genuine compliment as so negative? You need to get some more self-esteem, friend lol. You're valid and you have good insights!
Internet. Those with empathy have been wary for years...
Imposter syndrome's a bitch.
Who said that!? I don't know you!
Because obviously all compliments are actually just insults in disguise! /s
I put /s, but like, that's often my first assumption. IME, often compliments have been mostly been intentionally a back-handed insult, are putting themselves down in the process, or they're trying to give a genuine compliment but its about something I dislike about myself and therefore feels insulting despite the intentions.
I could be wrong, but I'm pretty sure they're being genuine. It's an insightful comment!
Leave it, it is very well-written and it also made my day to read
Considering that they didn't use the universal /s tag, I would take it at face value. It's a good comment.
Your comment is spot on
Plume - I was being totally serious. I really think your comment hit home for me and I appreciate how you framed your points.
Also - please don’t let internet comments from strangers linger rent free in your head. Too much awesomeness out in the world to let randoms’ comments bring you down.
Thank you. It really means a lot to me. 🩵🩷🤍
