Troed Sångberg on Nostr: I'm fully onboard with everything, except I don't like that it gives the impression ...

I'm fully onboard with everything, except I don't like that it gives the impression that not talking about issues is "good".

My variant of “That happened. It sucked. Moving on.” is "Don't spend energy on things you cannot change".

But I also _talk_ about my own issues, to make sure others - regardless if they want to talk about theirs or not - don't feel alone. That there's nothing wrong with them in particular if they suffer from depression, or that they failed with some goals they had set up.

I got that realization a bunch of years ago, when I got a few comments to the tune of "But Troed, you're always so sure of yourself and succesful at what you do!" and I realized that what others need is to hear that we all run into issues and that's just part of life.
