I rusting hate valentine's day.

and not just in the ironic, "oooh it's dumb because I'm jealous of other couples" kinda way.

I'm not hating on people who like it either. I just am really hurt by a lot of things that happened. And it's also terrible because something bad always happens on valentines day.

ME TOO

I HATE IT SO MUCH

Yesssss so much hatred for the absurd expectations, impossible standards, and contradictory roles toxic masculinity has placed on guys. 

You're right, this is probably not the thread to rant about it. But it does connect to mental health! It does so much damage.

YES
That...that...creature...hmm right, yes, keeping it civil.

There's definitely also "healthy masculinity" - you're right that it's only bad when it leads to harmful ideas and behaviors. The difficulty is sifting through and unentangling the harmful ideas from the good ones.

Phone on mute is such a dangerous thing, for this reason. I typically keep it on sound unless I'm in a complete sensory meltdown. ...I probably keep it on well past when I should, b/c if I turned it on mute sooner, I might not get overloaded as quickly. 
...But the absolute panic of not being able to find it is worse, so. Priorities.

*hug* 

I'm glad you found it!

Yesss ugh Andrew Tate...I have some not-allowed-on-the-shard-forums curse words for that person

And I feel like men should be allowed to do what they feel is manly ONLY IF IT DOESN'T HARM OTHERS IN SOME WAY, CAUSE MANLINESS SHOULD NOT LEAD TO HARASSING ANY PERSON IN ANY WAY JEEZ HUMANITY SUCKS

[Shatter He/Him]

I could drop this news…

I have a cold and my 11-year-old sister has a very bad case of Influenza A (probably H3N2) and my 14-year-old sister is in the hospital for stomach problems and my mother broke her toe. My sister with the flu is now breathing much better. She had two Code Blues. (Where the patient either stops breathing or has a heart attack).

The last two weeks have been a nightmare.

Hey guys uhm I don’t rly talk on here very often but I’m going to talk to you guys abt this bc practically all my other friends know the people im talking abt so uh yah here it goes Basically one of my best friends is having a mental breakdown and I learned this from a different friend who she told and she posted something about it on her TikTok but she hasn’t even read my gm text and I’m rly worried abt her but im also crying that she doesn’t feel like I can help or she can trust me.But I feel bad bc she’s having a breakdown and I’m thinking abt myself. And I don’t know what to do bc I care abt her so much and at the end of the day my number one priority is for her to be ok but when she doesn’t tell me this stuff my first thought is that I a) did something wrong or b) am not a good friend. *sigh* luv you guys

Don’t worry. It’s normal to panic when others panic, and you’re not a bad friend for thinking about yourself. You’re a great friend. Some advice is to help them the best you can. If you can go to them do that. Be there and let them know that you’re not leaving them. Let them know that they can trust you. Trust isn’t just given. It’s earned. I used to not trust anyone fully until i had a breakdown and then when my friends didnt leave i trusted them better. Ok? Be there for them. I know at least personally when i have panic attacks im scared people will leave me. They will be like oh you’re not worth fighting for and leave. Don’t. Let. Them. Think. That. Stick to their side and ask them how you can help. P.s. that’s why im so thankful for yalls cause when i panic you dont ignore me
