People Who Got Slapped So Hard By Reality, It Left A Mark
A wise prophet of our times named Lizzo once said, "Truth hurts." People say that truth can set you free, but getting a much-needed slap from reality is one of the hardest hits to take.
Here are people who tweeted some of the rudest (and truest) reality checks to hurt everyone's feelings—even their own.
This Tweet Really Came For My Neck
I knew that listening to my sadness playlist would make my mood infinitely worse, but I did it anyway, and now I am sobbing uncontrollably. I really can't blame anyone else for this.
Bro, Just Give Up
Everyone was convinced that something on the site had crashed because it didn't seem like their DMs were being received. Twitter set the record straight and dashed the dreams of many simps.
Real Friends Will Always Call You On Your Crap
A good friend will support you when you're making a decision for yourself. A great friend will tell you you're an idiot and prevent you from making a mistake at all costs.
I Did Not Need To Be Hurt Like This Today
I'd like to believe that all the problems I face while trying to date online and finding no one of value are out of my control, but what if I'm just ugly? Much to think about.
The Volume Is Too Loud!
Do I complain about being single and never meeting people? Yes. Do I also spend most of my weekends staying in, drinking cheap wine, and watching Netflix? Yes. We exist.
Food Really Do Be Costing Money
As a teenager, I was always excited to get my own place and choose all the food in it until I realized how expensive avocados are. Now I only have a half bag of carrots and a box of wine in my fridge.
I Prefer The Term Chaotic, Okay?
Why would I embrace the fact that I'm living with multiple mental illnesses and clearly have some cognitive issues when I could instead just call myself "chaotic" and "quirky" instead?
The Groupchat Will Destroy You
I will be totally infatuated with a man and imagining what our future children will look like until one of my friends asks me to send a pic of him and I realize he looks like a gargoyle.
...So It Wasn't That He Wasn't On His Phone
My mind is an amazing place because it can convince itself that the guy who hasn't responded to my text is actually busy or has accidentally fed his phone to a tiger, but then undeniable proof to the contrary arrives.
He Didn't Want To Face His Own Truth
Anything I did in the past is none of my business and I don't want to see anything regarding it. I actually respect this guy for tossing up the block and living in ignorant bliss.
I Hate When Past Me Does This
Current me always thinks that the future version of myself will be better equipped to handle my problems. Simultaneously, the past version of me is a jerk with no regard for current-me's well-being.
Therapists Are Straight-Up Disrespectful
One time, my therapist had the audacity to tell me that I was burnt out and needed to rest a bit, and after having a breakdown while at work, I was forced to admit she was right.
Oh, So That's One Way To Respond
You think you might just be asking a cute little joke question to your boyfriend, and suddenly you realize that this man doesn't even love you. Life really comes at you fast.
Oops, I Did It Again
I can plan to go to bed at 10 p.m., set multiple alarms, and tell myself that I'm going to wake up early as a mantra, but I, without a doubt, will still be in bed until noon.
Mirrors Are My Worst Enemy
I'll be walking around thinking that I look super hot and feeling confident as heck until I accidentally catch a glimpse of how I look in a mirror and realize that I was wrong.
Sorry To Break It To You, Fellas
This is a PSA to just about every straight man out there: just because she's a bisexual woman does not mean that she would ever want a threesome—in fact, she probably will consider you a regret in the future.
Guess I'll Go Cry Now!
I'll be bored and lurking around on the Instagram profile of my crush until I come across information that points to him being in love with someone else and now I am in despair.
This Is A PSA To Grow Up!
If you're a fully grown man and you are terrified and grossed out by women getting their periods, I'm sure your mom wishes that she had just taken the pill.
So Listening To Music While Walking Is Officially Canceled For Me
I will be walking down the street listening to Beyoncé believing that I look like I'm fresh off the runway, but what if I actually look like a total fool? Putting the headphones on is not worth the risk.
Sometimes Reality Turns Into Horror
One moment, you're living your best life with a guy you really like, and the next thing you know, you realize that this man made himself seem five years younger than he was and now you're trapped in a house with him.
