I swear this is the pickiest and least supportive sub in the history of Reddit.

Or you and your thoughts just don’t really fit into the expectations of what people want other people posting here? That’s also a possibility, right? 👀😂

Yeah I guess so, but I’ve been unlucky with like 3 of my thoughts in a row. It’s probably my fault but I don’t think they’re as bad as people are making them out to be. I know that they’re not 100% accurate to everybody, but that’s hard to do anyway.

Now that’s some amazing self reflection that I really have not come to expect on this website haha. I think the hard part about this subreddit is that most of the big posts are reposts that hit a specific spot in our brains and just always rise to the top. Actually unique “random” human thoughts are so subjective like you said, so it’s hard to have one that people don’t immediately nitpick/criticize in the comments.

Also remember that at least 75% of this site is just chomping at the bit to shit on someone, so this is just an easy place for them to do it with zero negative consequences.

I respect you more for your reply though, so clearly you’ve got something going for you- even if it isn’t specifically having good posts for /r/showerthoughts haha.

I appreciate your mature approach to this! I hate coming across negativity on the internet and I'm fairly new to this sub. The only other subs I'm active on are for some of my favourite rock bands (r/rush and r/muse to be more specific) and everyone's so nice on those subs. I guess I should just take a break from posting thoughts here and just admire the good ones lol. Have a good one man and thanks for the kind reply!
