I really hate “womp womp” or “skill issue.”

    Y’know, I really hate the concept of saying “womp womp” or “skill issue.” You know why? You wanna know why I fucking hate it when people say those things? Because it sounds like you don’t feel bad for me. You don’t care about the pain and suffering that I go through. Let’s say I told you that I failed a test and I feel really bad about it. What do you say to me? “Womp womp.” IT’S FUCKING IRRITATING!!! Do you NOT feel bad for me? Holy fuck! Why do you even say that? You sound so unsympathetic when you say that shit! PLEASE just understand my situation! PLEASE have some compassion! PLEASE FOR THE LOVE OF GOD, STOP SAYING “WOMP WOMP” YOU UNSYMPATHETIC ASSHOLE!!!!! 

    The reason I said “womp womp”

    The reason I said "womp womp" and "skill issues" is not because I am unsympathetic or that I don't feel bad for you. In reality, I say those things so you can immediately get angry at me and, in doing so, momentarily forget about all your pain and suffering. My intention is not to dismiss your feelings or minimize your experiences. Instead, I aim to redirect your focus, even if just for a brief moment, away from your distress. By provoking a reaction, I hope to offer you a temporary distraction from the hardships you are facing. It's my way of trying to help you cope, albeit in an unconventional manner. I believe that sometimes, shifting our emotional response, even towards something as seemingly trivial as annoyance with another person, can provide a slight reprieve from our more profound pain.
