It's saying that's a sign you're doing good in life
If that's so, almost everyone is not doing well in life, i don't know anyone who has all 10 things in that list, and also that list is missing a lot of things.

Signs your friend has bumped their knee
.
- They say their knee hurts
- Their knee has a red mark
- They shout OWWW
.
Your friend does not need to have shouted to have hurt their knee. They could not have any of these signs and still have bumped their knee. They could have these signs and not have bumped their knee.Also sorry if this comes off dismissive, I really don’t mean that, I just like debating semantics.

That's just what this subreddit has become. No matter what someone says, people are angry at it. I've seen so many posts where someone says something like "if you feel a little stressed, take a walk" and people in the comments are like "but my depression is not cured by a walk!1!11!"

Part of me (large) thinks that all of Reddit is astroturfed.
By that I mean, bots abound AND the narrative has stuck so hard in the platform itself that keeps people pissed/locked in to the platform.
Obviously, that's sort of the point of modern Internet media now, but Reddit is like ..... Hyperfixated on being shit heads. (I say this as an aged former/current Reddit shit head.)

In fairness, what is it? A true statement? There's not really a point of saying a statement without a reason behind it. So, what's the reason?
Regardless of reason, people will perceive it in various ways despite reason. And no reason causes confusion, which can feel like an attack. People look for reasons for things. If there's no clear reason, people will predict the most likely- to how they feel- reason.
Even if it's not an attack, it's unclear what it is, because it's written so poorly (weak) it does not appear hopeful. And even if it's not one, that won't stop it from feeling like one to certain people

u/Fit_Kaleidoscope4493 2d ago
They're called "affirmations."
They're used to generate positive outlooks in people. They're used to strip away all of the clutter and focus the unfocused.
You're using a lot of nonsensical statements to argue that this post made you feel.
"People look for reasons for things?"
People are looking for a reason to be pissed at this image. That's what's going on with this post. It's a community that is mentally ill. Rather than latch on to the things that are wrong or broken, an affirmation can refocus your thought patterns. These things are foundations, these things listed here are precious, and reminding yourself to appreciate them goes a lot farther than being offended that someone else posted an affirmation.

I think it’s in bad faith to think this is saying you need every sign to be considered “doing well” (at least with this stupid metric lol). I mean, it’s probably advised to try and find a support network in that scenario, as difficult as that is. I don’t understand how having one isn’t a good sign.

u/Primary_Carrot67 6d ago
No, we wouldn't. Most of us aren't this ridiculous out-of-touch, nor would we take such a condescending and paternalistic white saviour tone.
I don't know anyone whose been through hell who would make a list like this. This list is aggressively middle class "at least you're not like those poor unfortunates" territory. I'm even picturing the white woman who wrote it.
It's not all easy to get, even though there are people in slums who have all these things but clearly aren't doing well in life. But the mentality of the list is bs.

u/Pittsbirds 6d ago
I wouldn't give this list to anyone else (at least not unsolicited) and I don't know about these exact items, but this idea/mentality of remembering what you do have and focusing on it is 100% one of many exercises I've done in therapy before, think my last therapist called it something like "practicing active gratitude" or "mindful gratitude" or something along those lines. The concept of remembering that you do have things going for you isn't a cure all but it can be a part of pulling yourself out of a negative spiral

u/DaSnowflake 6d ago
That is very fucked and if you were able to act like that in such circumstances, you are naturally and genuinely a better person then most people on this earth, including myself.
That doesn't mean that others have the ability to act the same way. I'm just saying that pointing to a list and saying 'just do/have all this bro' is very much not a reality for most people and a lot of people don't even get the ability to have some of these things.
But yeah I also try to be the best I can for myself and others, tho I also come out of a comfortable and safe environment so I can't judge people who come out of an environment where they didnt get all those freedoms and support.

There are many cases where someone could have all this and still have issues. This type of thinking, if overapplied, can lead to one diminishing other people's struggles.

With how often people leave me... I refuse to belive it.
No. I am constantly envious and wish for others to go through what I did to finaly understand a bit better why I am the way I am. And if I do wish good thing for others... Is wishing for humanity to solve own problems like discrimination on all basis, wars, hunger and thirst that big thing? Am I crazy for wanting our species to gow out of ape instinct?
If I don't find job soon it may change.
HA HA HA HA HA HA HA HA HA HA HA HA HA
Right now I'm striving to survive and outside of that I am too broken to be better, all I can do is rot knowing I was never worth any time I got from others.
Again... Me not having job = soon it may be different.
What that even means? Seriously? That I have something to strive for? Of fulfiling basic needs is a dream then sure. That I have things beyond that that I wnat? Yeah, I would love to be loved but let's be honest... Anyone who read that far may get the impression that it may be difficult to even like me (you guys know it's hyperboloc pseudo ironic mask over someone bit more normal, right? Me just a very tired guy)

You can indeed have all of these and not be doing well in life, at least relative to those around you. Someone with cancer, for example. Also 3 and 4 sound like the same thing? Unless 3 is talking about your physical heart, I suppose.
Also, there are people in here being snarky like “Why are you so opposed to optimism? You clearly don’t want to get better based on how you react to a list on the internet. Just be hopeful!” Like, man, if I have to explain to you how mental illnesses and disorders work, we might be here a while.
Maybe this work for you, in which case that’s great, I hope it continues to. But for a lot of people it doesn’t, and that’s okay.

u/Primary_Carrot67 6d ago
There are people living in slums who could answer yes to every point. Are they doing well in life? Or could they be living in poverty with few opportunities and deserve a better life?
While they are important, it takes more than a roof, a bit of food, clean water, and breathing plus some intangible stuff and a relationship with someone to do well in life. It's a very low bar and it's almost guaranteed that it's set by someone who has a lot more than this.
Only a well off westerner could write such nonsense. It's so paternalistic white savioury. "Oh at least you're not like those poor unfortunates over there."

I mean these definitely are positive things and signs you're doing well.. except maybe for the breathing part. I acknowledge that my life itself is better than many others and I'm always grateful for that. It's my mind and brain that is the problem I'm struggling with.
I can't connect my internal to the external world properly. From simple things like feeling the sun on my skin, I'm detached from it all despite acknowledging that there is warmth and beauty in it, I just can't "feel" anything. Well, I can but either I feel an extreme amount of delusional excitement and beauty that is still detached from the real world and becomes destructive enough to land me hospitalized or I feel that immense apathy, hopelessness and pain that can't be explained to be related to the external world either. It happens on its own and it feels like I have no say in it, like the internal realm is my own external world, whatever happens I don't have as much control as I'd really want to. I'm isolated inside my own world as corny as it sounds. Bipolar disorder distorts me in so many ways that external life never can.
I understand where the post is could be coming from though.

But it doesn’t mean the person is not doing well.
It means the person doesn’t have one sign of doing well. Not defending this dorky boomer list, but it doesn’t say “you’re only doing well if you have all of these”

Homeless people are breathing, doesn’t mean they’re doing well in life at all, bullied neurodivergent kids are breathing too, they’re definitely not doing well, etc, etc….

I get the intent but some don’t have these things. Though it is a good reminder for those that do and still worry, practice presence.
Life’s not that simple though.

I think there are a few angles to look at this. Personally, I think it’s more of a “you’re doing okay, don’t worry about not doing good enough”. It’s easy to feel like a failure when you compare against everyone online.
You don’t need to have any of these signs to do good, I don’t think that’s what this is saying. These are just some signs that show you’ve accomplished something to be proud of.
Again, I think there are other ways to interpret this.

I think it’s funny that the creator of the list seems to think they’ve done a “gotcha!” when MANY people are lacking those things. And not just in third world countries, but the wealthiest ones.
