Truth potato: just because it can be worse, doesn't mean it currently doesn't suck.
fibonaccifreefall
Well, shit.

Truth potato is brutal, but I know he has my best interests at his lil starchy heart
alhazad
No, Truth Potato is an apologist for a broken status quo. Many people have a *lot* more holding them back than themselves.

Some of those really hit home, I hate reality... it's what makes movies so appealing.

God I hope none of these were a "revelation" to anybody. I felt like this was all common knowledge facts of life.

Truth potat seems really happy about it
bripi
It *should*. If people paid attention to what that means. But by and large, we ignore our own demise and the impermanence of life.
Lostchild12
Most people are afraid of death or just dying. One of the reasons for religion. Easier to ignore it that way.

Excuse you, if I have my hands up the birthing canal of a cow in the middle of a breach birth, I am too busy to respond.

I needed truth potato two months after a breakup

That's Experience Turnip, Truth's Potato's cousin.

'You're unique just like everyone else' is a Margaret Meade quote. I've always found it quite hypocritical but love the quote.

Some of these feel a bit nihilist and cynical...

Fuckin ow, dude.

Where's that gif of the anime potato peeling itself and then jumping into a pot of boiling water?
DarkRedCape
Some of these are spot on. Some are pretty damn real. Some hurt my feelers. And others are just worthless platitudes.

The Life You’re Living Right Now Is The Dream For Many People. I know, that’s why I feel so guilty about being miserable.
TheNihilistsParadoxicalWashingMachine
Misery is subjective. Don't feel guilty. There are many different hells.

Everybody has two lives: the life you’re living now and the life you begin to live when you realize you have only one life.

Did that come off a snapple? It sounds cheesy enough for it.
ammaj360
No. It was printed inside your mother’s underwear. But, of course, you knew that.
LadiesInboxMeYourInsecurities
I can't tell if that's a your mom's a whore joke or I fuck my mother joke. hmm.

This is why i hate when people call people sheep. "UGH, YOU DIDN'T READ WHAT I READ SO YOU MUST BE A BRAINWASHED SHEEP!!!"
bripi
Every time I'm on public transpo...and see the sheep with their noses in their phones...yep, I'm thinking this.
PiGiSpi
Yeah man, instead they should be looking off into empty space, truly using their brains to better themselves during their commute
metroid2
Well for my self staring off into space is a coping mechanism. It quiets the brain for some much needed mental rest. You do you though.
YouL0stTheGame
I’m not sure you got the point
bripi
I do. I get it. That everyone thinks they are the only one paying attention. I get it.
itsahorse
But you still genuinly believe it too?

Some of these hurt my feelings lol

That's ok. Use it and embrace the darkness, young one. And in time you will learn to surrender to it's cold sweet embrace.

Painful truths without techniques to succeed is more debilitating than productive
BeeCups
A couple of them are kinda nonsense

Which ones do you think are nonsense? From my perception, none of them are.

I suppose the image and text don't really match on the last one. If one actually adhered to push up regime, results should be evident.
Hoyboy76
Is LOL an ASCI stop character that is appended automatically to some users' every message?
PPlank
Yeah, nervous people who are unsure of themselves use lol and lmao a lot, I've found.
MarvelousShiggyDiggy
That's me.
anonnymoosecommenter
Lol
MarvelousShiggyDiggy
I used lol in this context to try and alleviate some of the embarrassment I had of letting a picture hurt my feelings.
Hoyboy76
I'm sorry. I knew as I typed this I want being very kind. I just know some people who use it excessively. It's so hard to convey complex...
MarvelousShiggyDiggy
Hey dont be sorry, I wasnt offended in any way. I know people who say lol lots too so thought I'd explain my reason.
Hoyboy76
Reactions through text. The post did have a lot of stuff that sounds simple but it's really hard in practice.
CleatPeddlingMinion
Sorry, I don’t agree with the “friends” one to an extent. I had to learn the hard way that I was being tolerated with.../1
CleatPeddlingMinion
/2....ZERO issues brought to my face until they exploded with hatred of me while pretending everything was just peachy up until that point.
shembot
My friends did the same to me, though not quite as much hatred. I agreed with them where I thought I could improve, then told them next /1
shembot
/2 time to say something when they're bothered, bc I can't read their mind, and they agreed. Your friends don't sound like friends :/
CleatPeddlingMinion
That would be correct. One friend now but he’s a mutual friend so I’m basically not allowed to see him because he lives with one of them.

Ya I get it. I have tried to give soft answers about someone doing something to me I didn't like bit they were like "stop complaining"

I'm sorry that happened to you

Some are half-baked.

Truth potato: You don't have to please everyone. Which is a polite way of saying some people can go eat a dick sometimes.
Selkie42
Ok lol
Azun1te
Which ones do you think are not true?
Blutsaugher
"your actions define you, not your thoughts". Nope, it's both. There's even psychology tests for this.
TheNihilistsParadoxicalWashingMachine
I think truth Potato is mainly just.. a potato. And the list should probably just be #4 only and be self referential.
TheNihilistsParadoxicalWashingMachine
"Youre the only one holding yourself back". Yeahhh. Go tell that to anyone with an affliction ( cancer ). Or no clean water. No Food. Peace.
HelloToe
I mean, cancer is something your own body does, so...

Failure is a chance to restart? Unless you have a time machine, that's not a restart.
TheNihilistsParadoxicalWashingMachine
"Nobody gives a fuck about how difficult your life is". Demonstrably untrue. *Some* very much do.
laNikiNt
I think that one just means it doesn't help much to complain about your life. People react to positivity better
TheNihilistsParadoxicalWashingMachine
Even then, untrue. Sometimes communicating you're struggling is a very good thing ! Dying in noble silence, less so.
BlindGardener
Yeah, and most of them have a vested interest in keeping it difficult.
TheNihilistsParadoxicalWashingMachine
"What other people think of you doesnt really matter". It very much does. Career wise. Legality wise. Sitting in a cell in a black site.
mattbl
Humans evolved to care what other humans think.
Strangeboke
"Investing in yourself is not selfish." uhhhh maybe sometimes not, but generally, yeah it is. Doesn't make it wrong, but its still selfish.
Blutsaugher
It is, by definition, selfish: (of a person, action, or motive) lacking consideration for others; concerned chiefly with one's own personal.
jackofallthingsgood
interestingly your definition points out that it isn't by definition necessarily selfish; you can invest in yourself and consider others
TheNihilistsParadoxicalWashingMachine
I find half of these to be absolute bs. "you're the only one holding yourself back". Spoken like a truly privileged.
Drapetomanius
Is privileged a noun now? As an aside, I politely disagree with your assertion.
TheNihilistsParadoxicalWashingMachine
When you're dying from dirty water and a total lack of healthcare because of where you were born. Just holding yourself back arent you. smh.
Smacketywack
I look at it as a call to action. IOW even though we all have different situations and challenges, the only actions and choices we can >
Smacketywack
TheNihilistsParadoxicalWashingMachine
You have to be in a somewhat privileged position to have that level of freedom. Many deprived innocents dead at that altar.
Smacketywack
Well yes, as a blanket statement it doesn’t apply to everyone, but I still think it’s a good reminder about personal efficacy. Many people>
