    This might be top five comment on Lemmy that I’ve seen.

    I appreciate what you put down here. I’m a white dude that is about as corn fed looking as they come. This comment made so much sense.

    Thank you for taking the time to write this out.

      Ok, I’m going to be completely honest with you. I can’t tell if you’re being sarcastic or not.

      Are you telling me that I made a shit comment? If so, please do say so because I’m gonna be honest: I am not sure about this comment and I’ve been thinking about deleting it ever since I posted it. I rewrote it like five or six times before until I finally got fed up with it and said “fuck it” and posted it. :|

      EDIT:

      So, according to all of you, I worry too much. Thanks a lot for the support, and I’m glad you liked my comment. ❤️

        How did you interpret a genuine compliment as so negative? You need to get some more self-esteem, friend lol. You’re valid and you have good insights!

        • Because obviously all compliments are actually just insults in disguise! /s

          I put /s, but like, that’s often my first assumption. IME, often compliments have been mostly been intentionally a back-handed insult, are putting themselves down in the process, or they’re trying to give a genuine compliment but its about something I dislike about myself and therefore feels insulting despite the intentions.

        I could be wrong, but I’m pretty sure they’re being genuine. It’s an insightful comment!

        They are being genuine. It is a terrific analysis. You are exactly right; in their minds, they are “normal”, and anyone implying any sort of equal status between them and the “abnormals” pisses them off.

        Plume - I was being totally serious. I really think your comment hit home for me and I appreciate how you framed your points.

        Also - please don’t let internet comments from strangers linger rent free in your head. Too much awesomeness out in the world to let randoms’ comments bring you down.
