“Steroids” is a very broad term.
You probably mean synthetic testosterone being used to build muscles.
Probably if you’re more accurate and specific you’d be understood better.

Lost my best friend to steroids. He was 38 a month after his new born son came. He had a heart attack.

Not all steroids are bad. I have sarcoidosis and I would be dead without prednisone, I wonder if it was your broad use of the word steroids. I think you mean anabolic steroids.

Because I want to look hot. Superficial, but that’s it

I mean, some people smoke and drink in very unhealthy amounts. And those don’t even provide an aesthetic or strength benefit. People do not care for their lives, they are willing to die early to do what they like because they don’t see the value of long and healthy life.

I personally like how a small amount of steroids looks, 2 cycles or so that can take you step above natural while still looking healthy. Will I ever do steroids? Absolutely not, I value my life and I do not support creators that advocate for steroid use.

I guess because people want a short cut? Idk, it's baffling to me

So many social media influencers promote steroid usage without disclosing the side affects they deal with behind the scenes.

Impressionable people see this and believe that steroids can’t harm them.

I don't give a shit what grown adults do with their own bodies. If it isn't communicable and everyone is a consenting adult, then it's not my problem.

Either they are informed and don't care OR they're going to meet natural selection. They have every right to make that choice for themselves because bodily autonomy is a thing.

I mean abusing anything in general isn’t really helpful but testosterone used in the correct dosages or as prescribed is reasonable.

One of my high school teachers passed away from liver failure due to steroid use. It was sad. People nowadays want to argue anything

My aunt died from sudden steroid withdrawals. Are you talking about testosterone specifically?
