                  I’m still not convinced this user isn’t a bot.

                  By telling you to lighten up? You’re ridiculous.

    There’s negativity and there’s “never taking accountability for one’s actions and disliking being constantly called out on it which inevitably comes before a schism”. But nobody can tolerate a consistent partypooper, ofc.

    More like certainly. It is hard to have a relationship with (or even exist alongside) someone who is constantly dragging you down.

        I never understood why people feel the need to fight with their SO so much? Why can’t the issues be talked constructively and respectfully towards each other? Why the need to let things get so bad that you need to fight over things?

          Some people consider any discussion about difficult matters ‘a fight’.

    As always, it depends. A certain amount of negativity can be healthy.

    As mentioned in other comments, constant negativity is poison to relationships.

You are not logged in. However you can subscribe from another Fediverse account, for example Lemmy or Mastodon. To do this, paste the following into the search field of your instance: !showerthoughts@lemmy.world

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. The most popular seem to be lighthearted clever little truths, hidden in daily life.

Here are some examples to inspire your own showerthoughts:

  • Both “200” and “160” are 2 minutes in microwave math
  • When you’re a kid, you don’t realize you’re also watching your mom and dad grow up.
  • More dreams have been destroyed by alarm clocks than anything else

Rules

  1. All posts must be showerthoughts
  2. The entire showerthought must be in the title
  3. No politics
    • If your topic is in a grey area, please phrase it to emphasize the fascinating aspects, not the dramatic aspects. You can do this by avoiding overly politicized terms such as “capitalism” and “communism”. If you must make comparisons, you can say something is different without saying something is better/worse.
    • A good place for politics is c/politicaldiscussion
  4. Posts must be original/unique
  5. Adhere to Lemmy’s Code of Conduct and the TOS

If you made it this far, showerthoughts is accepting new mods. This community is generally tame so its not a lot of work, but having a few more mods would help reports get addressed a little sooner.

Whats it like to be a mod? Reports just show up as messages in your Lemmy inbox, and if a different mod has already addressed the report, the message goes away and you never worry about it.
