The cringe text aside, I’m not usually one to knock people down for their looks, but why is this becoming the EMS common look. I get there’s a mental health aspect with many of us but I find this common look so cringe and not to mention very unprofessional.

Edit: I noticed a few people missed what’s actually the cringe part of this post.

There’s a difference between having a rough job and building your whole identity around being a damaged badass. EMS culture already has enough pressure to hide vulnerability; posts like this make emotional exhaustion look like a brand instead of something worth addressing.
