17F I have a really good life so why do I still feel so bad?
My family adores me, I have good friends, I have always been a #1 student, I have never had any money issues in my life (God my family can afford to pay a private college for me and still live normally) so I don’t understand why I always feel so bad and depressed when some of my friends have worse problems than me
But I just can’t stop crying in the night or feeling empty and how much I’m going to waste my life and end up miserable and I already hate myself and my face and everything about me and even though I go to college it wasn’t in a degree I wanted, and I wanted to have a happy life with a husband and kids but even that idea has been disgusting me and it looks impossible for me
So now I end up pretending I’m happy and just bottling up my feelings when I’m actually depressed for being sad because I have no excuse to feel bad for anything
I hate this

Real talk, the signal is clear, the strategy less so which explains why reactions are split That’s the key detail here. That’s just how it reads to me.
From a practical angle, the timing matters more than people admit and that’s where people will push back This probably isn’t the last word on it.
If you zoom out, this depends heavily on what happens next Hard to say where this lands long term.
this feels more about execution than intent This could age very differently in a week.
Honestly, this feels rushed rather than thought through and that’s why opinions are all over the place That’s what changes the context. That’s just my read on it.
Not gonna lie, this reads stronger on paper than in practice which is why the comments look the way they do That’s what changes the context. Let’s see what happens next.
