I bet a lot of teenage depression comes from people no longer thinking you're cute and smiling when they see you. (reddthat.com)

It's such a subtle shift they probably don't even realize it happened. But suddenly people stop reacting with joy and love when they see you and it takes a while to adjust to that

I'm not saying it's because they're not cute anymore, I'm saying it's because people around them stop being so kind and gentle with them.

A "Showerthought" is a simple term used to describe the thoughts that pop into your head while you're doing everyday things like taking a shower, driving, or just daydreaming. A showerthought should offer a unique perspective on an ordinary part of life.

Rules

  1. All posts must be showerthoughts
  2. The entire showerthought must be in the title
  3. Avoid politics
    1. NEW RULE as of 5 Nov 2024, trying it out
    2. Political posts often end up being circle jerks (not offering unique perspective) or enflaming (too much work for mods).
    3. Try c/politicaldiscussion, volunteer as a mod here, or start your own community.
  4. Posts must be original/unique
  5. Adhere to Lemmy's Code of Conduct-----
