    I went to therapy, they basically told me: toughen up buttercup, here’s the bill.

    FYI “toughen up buttercup” is a term of bullying and abuse. It is often used to dismiss and belittle someone’s feelings, and to tell them to stop complaining or feeling sorry for themselves. This can be especially harmful if the person is already feeling vulnerable or insecure.

      I don’t really know what to say to this, i could go: “story of my life” and come across in a bad way.

      I know it’s harmful, i’m used to being on the receiving end with those kind of things. It’s like people made it a sport to dissmiss and belittle my ass.
