Bro, Why Are You Filming Yourself Crying?

Alright, bro, we need to have a serious conversation about a modern plague that’s infecting my timeline: people posting videos of themselves crying.

Like, full-on, ugly crying.

Tears streaming and straight-up sobbing, sometimes with the whole snot-dripping combo. And the worst part? They’re looking directly at the camera, like they’re auditioning for a reality show nobody asked for.

Let me get this straight—you’re having a breakdown, and your first instinct is to grab your phone, set up a camera angle, and hit record?

Bro, what? Who hurt you? Actually, scratch that.

Who hurt me for deciding to watch this shit.

Because honestly, this shit needs to stop.

Crying for Clout

Crying is a natural human emotion.

But you know what most of us normal people don’t do? Whip out a phone mid-sob to make sure the lighting captures every tear. If you’re crying and also thinking, “Wait, let me make sure this gets likes,” you’re not grieving—you’re performing.

In the most cringe way, at that.

I dunno if I should be scared or sad.

And let’s be real.

You’re not sharing this because you want to “raise awareness” or “be vulnerable.” You’re sharing it because you want validation. You want strangers to slide into your comments with, “You’re so brave” or “Stay strong, babe.” But you know what’s not brave? Using your tears for engagement. The overly naive bots in them comments defending these asshats, like wake the fuck up you fucking maggot. They're not lonely and just looking to share their pain with like-minded fucking individuals, going through the same thing... even if they fucking were... are you seriously saying that TikTok and Facebook is the best they got?

Instead of looking for support groups where... I don't know... you can share your pain with fucking like-minded individuals going through the same fucking thing, these idiots decided the best approach is the shotgun approach. Blast that shit out to everyone hoping they will rope in someone? I doubt that.

That’s just simply fucking cringe.

What are you, a toddler demanding Mommy's attention? Grow the fuck up.

Who Films Themselves Mid-Breakdown?

Imagine this... you’re bawling your eyes out, you’ve got mascara running down your face, and instead of handling your emotions like a normal person, you’re setting up the ring light and hitting record. Bro, you’re not a TikTok therapist inspiring others—you’re just embarrassing.

And don’t even get me started on the editing. You filmed yourself crying, watched the footage back, added a nice soundtrack, then sat back and thought “Yeah, this looks good"?

Then you uploaded it for the world to see.

My dude, duddette that’s a level of delusion I can’t even roast properly.

Seek some fucking help—not likes.

Nobody Asked for This

Let me say what everyone’s thinking but is too polite to say, nobody wants to see you cry on their feed.

Nobody.

You know what we’re here for? Memes. Funny videos. Maybe a dog doing something dumb.

We’re not here for your emotional breakdown in 4K with subtitles like, “Today was just so hard 😭💔.” No one really feels sorry for you, but I guess in a way they are, at how desperate you are for attention.

Bro, my coffee machine broke this morning, and you don’t see me uploading a sob story about it.

Save the tears for your close friends or a therapist. Posting it online just makes everyone uncomfortable. It’s not deep—it’s awkward. Like you are ruining people's fucking day, someone could be all chipper just browsing FaceSpace in their down time, then here you come with your forced tears raining on everyone's parade. What are they gonna do? Send you a sad face emoji then go on like nothing happened?

Probably.

Yeah.

Everyone has to deal with their own shit, you aren't special just cause something shitty happened to you. What do you expect? Everyone to have such perfect lives that they would pour their wallets and hearts out for you? Just LOL.

Vulnerability or Attention-Seeking

Here’s the thing: being vulnerable is great. Sharing your struggles can help. But there’s a fine line between being real and being an attention whore. And posting a full-on cry video crosses that line hard, it’s not even in the same zip code anymore.

Want to be vulnerable, write a post or something. Pour your heart out without sounding like another poor me rant. You don't need to think of sad things and get the camera set up for a perfect cry session.
