It’s no secret that most of the content on the internet is here to make us feel better. From wholesome cat pics to inspirational Instagram gurus, nobody really likes talking openly about the hard things online. And many Instagram influencers take this false perfectionism to the extreme, pretending like they live a dream life, without a single flaw, whether physical or mental.
But there’s an online corner that works as an antidote to the often staged happy-go-lucky vibes that have been permeating the entire online world. “Sad Talks For Sad People” on Twitter brings our emotional sides into the spotlight and it’s truly refreshing.
Let’s see some of their best tweets down below that will make your inner sad person relate all too well.

Sadness is an emotional state characterized by feelings of unhappiness and low mood. And although it’s considered one of the basic human emotions, people tend to hide their sad feelings. Sometimes, it’s the fear of coming across as emotional or vulnerable, other times your sad self doesn’t quite fit the profile you have on social media. So no wonder most of us tend to experience sad thoughts in solitude.
So to find out what an expert has to say on sadness and whether some of us are more prone to it than others, Bored Panda reached out to Dr. Lise Deguire, a clinical psychologist and the author of “Flashback Girl: Lessons on Resilience From a Burn Survivor” which has recently won two international awards.

I am one of those - always trying to cheer people up no matter how dire the situation, whilst internally I am feeling very low.

People just talk, talk, talk. We listeners need to talk too sometimes :/
“Occasional sadness is a normal part of life,” assured Lise. “Happiness and sadness are both normal feelings that naturally arise through life's inevitable ups and downs. When people are numb to their feelings, or try to avoid feelings altogether, they won't experience sadness, but they won't experience much happiness either.”

and not giving into emotion doesn't make you strong. sometimes you need to cry.
When asked whether some people are more prone to sadness than others, Lise confirmed that it’s true. “This can be partly genetic and partly due to negative life experiences. Mindset is also a factor.”
According to Lise, “People who tend to be pessimistic, who dwell on the future anxiously, and who ruminate negatively about the past can experience more sadness. However, these are cognitive bad habits that can really be helped by psychotherapy,” she concluded.

My partner used to have a burnout and people asked me if he was okay. I became so used to this that yhe first time someone asked me "but are yóu okay?" it broke me. No, I was not, but didnt realise until someone asked. But it was very helpful in the end.

Sometimes it's you that needs to leave, when they act like you don't matter

Nah, not all of us. Some people are way too lazy and don’t need any more breaks.

For some people - these things help. For some people "daily affirmations" work. Not for me... but if it works for them, who am I to judge.

Personally: when I've found my own vulnerabilities, it's made me more empathetic to others.

Yes. We use our own struggles to inform how we treat others. It can also go bad: When we are abused nonstop, it can push us toward being abusers. Then, if we don’t have any sense of self worth via identifying with “being good people”, we become that which originally damaged us, perpetuating the cycle.

I get what you mean. But on the bright side, friendships are too much to keep up with. It’s a lot of responsibility.

LOVED THIS and will definitely share with those who resonate and recognize the growth process we call LIFE. If a reader doesn't get anything out of this then it wasn't meant for them. But there ARE those of us who get PLENTY out of these. Thanks again.

Some of these are excellent, some are only okay, and some are just complete garbage. I lost interest only ¼ through the list as a result. I hate platitudes. Without context, many of these mean nothing, or ANYTHING at all, which is WORSE. Anyone could choose to apply some of these to themselves, in all the wrong ways, including supporting maladaptive & pathological behaviors.

I agree. The type of people who frequent this site won’t grasp what you mean. I upvoted you out of the negatives though because you’re right.

Hey, can we stop with the #deep posts? Just for a little while? It’s kinda overdone..

It’s not deep. What’s overdone is the pseudo-intellectual crap that makes up the platitudes. Some of this list was good. Some was crap.
