when things get too real for me_irl

For relatable posts that are too real for !me_irl. Meaning jokes/posts about mental health issues and self deprecating humour.

This is a subreddit for memes that hit too close to home or are too real for communities like !me_irl

If you have depression, talk to a therapist, it really does help. You are not alone, and recovery is possible and worth it.

If you find jokes about suicide, depression or self harm upsetting, this sub might not be the right place for you. This is a place for people who use self deprecating humor as a coping mechanism, not for those making fun of mental illness.

With that out of the way, the rules are as follows:

See, I'm the kinda guy that'll just say, "slow down, hoss, take a breath. It's all good. We got time."

And I'll mean it, otherwise I'd be telling them to stfu and leave me alone.

I am in the picture and I do not like it

The third step is where you're failing. They said you talk a lot, not that you need to stop talking. Whenever someone says this, just take a breath, say something like "sorry, I'm really excited about this topic", and then leave them a chamce to respond. Silence is ok, you don't need to fill the void.

Anxiety and self consciousness say it's time to isolate myself and I can't disobey

Damn, nearly the same, only difference is that I realize I talked a lot before they pointed out

My mom does this every time I call her. She just keeps on talking. There is a difference between talking and having a conversation.

I'm the opposite. It's been so long since I had a conversation, i barely know how anymore.
