Ok, enough silly's, I wanna talk about hashtags in names.

Now, as some of you know, I started the #BeRespectful thing, but some people have been putting #BeDisrespectful and #BeDepressed in their names and it's kinda bugging me.


Even if it's just supposed to be a joke, it's really not helping, especially for people who are depressed, or feel hurt.

We should be encouraging positivity and kindness, not depression and rudeness.

Edgy jokes are fine every once in a while, I make them myself, but there's some things you just don't joke about, like suicide, or the holocaust, and sometimes there are places where a joke could be easily taken the wrong way and have a negative result.

I'm sure most people who do so don't mean anything by it, but it's really not helping, and I'm not a fan of it. I'm not mad, I just don't like it and am concerned is all.

Some of the people with the hashtag are likely suffering from depression themselves, and I can understand that. I was lowkey depressed a couple days ago, I know how it feels, like everything sucks. Most of us have been there to some degree or another.

Anyways, by using that in your name, you're not helping yourself or anyone else, so I would suggest removing it or just replacing it all together.

And hey, I'll admit, when I was really mad, or down, I kinda felt like taking #BeRespectful out of my name. I didn't, but I felt like it.

But if you're going to have a hashtag that says you feel like crap, just put something in parenthesis like "(feels like crap honestly)" or "(feeling depressed)" or something, instead of encouraging that emotion, you're letting other know you feel down, and in a way, asking for a little help and comfort, or maybe to be left alone.

Like I said, no hard feelings to anyone with these hashtags, I just wanted to discourage it and ask people to think about it a bit. Hope that went over well.

Thankyou for reading, and God bless you. Hope you have a great day. 😊

Shoobies leave a sticky trail of mucus in their wake, which can impede movement for any creature that steps in it.

If you have more of an acquired taste, the restaurants in Niravasi have you covered! Maybe skip the salad bar, though.

OK, this starts to be too tricky puzzle already :D
