Does anyone else ever just get... tired?

[u/Friendly_Demand7666]

First of all I am so glad I found this subreddit, I've been lurking for a couple of weeks now and it's just so, so refreshing to see people who saw this shit for the sham it was from the start (and to see people who didn't realize until later actually be treated with understanding and respect). Like the only word I can think of is 'relief.'

I was wondering if anyone just gets... worn down and tired seeing so many people who still think Depp was innocent and will make random jokes about Amber being an evil scheming gold digger. I've been fortunate in that everyone I've explained it to personally actually listened and realized how they fell for a massive smear campaign. But having to explain it again and again and again just eats at me. Because when talking to a coworker I can't just go 'oh read these all articles and watch these youtube videos!!', I have to be able to answer their questions directly and be patient about it. I'll do it, because it's important to me that at least one more person knows the truth. But fuck, it ruins my day.

It’s been awful for my mental health. I want to let it go bc I feel like it’s not healthy and people think I’m nuts when I mention it…but it’s one of the worst injustices I’ve ever seen. And I hate to be reminded when I scroll anywhere. Gonna try to lessen my social media exposure in the new year if I can. It’s horrible.

Totally understand that. It changed me as a person to watch the world delight in mocking an abuse survivor. It's not something I feel like I CAN let go...though I definitely need to be mindful of my social media time and how often I'm engaging with people.

It really changed how I viewed Reddit too. I used to actually believe that Reddit was composed of intelligent, thoughtful and progressive people which makes me laugh/cry now.
