    i genuinely hate that phrase, it’s usually used by people to get you to stop complaining about a valid issue

      …or people that don’t otherwise know how to respond, but want to acknowledge your statement.

        I’d say more than half the crappy situations I end up in are both outside of and beyond my control. Sometimes, you just have to ride the suck train until things improve. Therapy is a powerful tool, but it has its limits, and it’s important to know when and how it can be helpful.

      I know a female supervisor that uses it daily to demean her employee’s valid concerns and needs. She was nicknamed The Witch and she has witch paraphernalia and decorations all over her office. She knows how far she can push and abuse people without raising any alarms to the executive staff.

      They want you to stop complaining because they have no solution or there isn’t one. Bitching isn’t going to do any good.

        I’ve about had it with all these people complaining about COVID. Listen, you’ll be fine. You cough a bit, you sometimes develop symptoms that stay with you for the rest of your life, and if you’re over 60 you die. You would be dying soon anyway, what’s the use of complaining? This is just how things are.

        Covid-19 vaccine researchers, if your opinion had any merit.

        And you know what? I really need to hear less about all this climate change shit. It’s done. We fucked the world to get ours. I got my yacht and my mansion. Oh, you didn’t get yours? Well yeah, your kids will die. My kids might die too, but if they sell my yacht they’ll probably live more than yours anyway lmao. It’s over, you lost, gg, stop complaining. Bitching isn’t going to do any good.

          And I can do absolutely nothing to resolve any of those problems so complaining to me about it accomplishes nothing.
