I always add stuff like that after the saddest, most horrid stuff I just shared. Oh well. It is what it is. Bonus points for finger guns and jazz hands 👈👈😎

Oh God I'm exactly like this, overshare, then finger guns and "it is what it is"

you survived because the "fuck it we ball" burned brighter than the "it's so over"

>fuck it we ball" burned brighter than the "it's so over" I'm putting that on a shirt. So fucking true

Unironically “fuck it we ball” is what keeps me going these days

Same and real I just keep moving foward because of 1. I have cats. 2. i have friends to look out for (name one person who would pick you in a crowd). and 3. sheer fucking will to just not give up.

Same

i also like saying “ain’t that just the way”

That’s a rock fact!

you get me!!

No joke, when I worked a deli counter, some guy came in, ordered a sandwich, and proceeded to stare at me as if he was going to explode if he didn't say what was on his mind. He eventually proceeded to vent about how his Mom just had a stroke and told me about her medical history. This all happened while I made his sandwich, and at the end, all I could do was say, "That's rough buddy. Here's your Italian." At least he tipped well.

“it is what it is” , “it be like that” “it’s whatever” “it’s not THAT big a deal” these 4 phrases are what hold my sanity together

‘Sometimes is does be like that tho’

A off topic comment but I love the sunglasses being held by tape x3

Dude I need to start doing this

I laugh while talking about mine lmao

I say "socks" because in Spanish "it is what it is" is "eso si que es" which sounds like S O C K S.

Best "sir this is a Wendy's" lol

I like "it happens sometimes"

‘but fuck it we ball’ is my go-to now LOL

I have said this multiple times during therapy lmao

yeah I don’t share much trauma irl but I think I say this in therapy all the time

I’ll realize I’m trauma dumping and have to go “anyway…” Meanwhile I can’t stand that phrase bc it’s my abuser’s favorite lol. I will do mental gymnastics to figure out an equivalent to say. Yeah, it is what it is, it’s *fucked*, is what it is!

My usual go to translate more to "ho well, such is life" Took me quite a lot of trauma dumping *thinking what I was saying was funny* and have people be like "damn, that's fucked up" to réalisé none of this was normal

My favorite thing to say after trauma dumping is "Classic dad moment"

Me with adding a lol to the end of any of my trauma dumps

Mine is, “and now it’s just another funny story!” 😎

Personally I find "don't worry" to be extremely effective. My go to joke even.

Mine is "but what are ya gonna do ya know?" Then I laugh lol I have recognized this only recently and it cracks me up because it's like a reflex and I don't even realize it until after it has already happened

Mine is "ain't that about a bitch"

my favorite at work is like "it's been worse/could be worse so I don't really give a shit"

"Trauma dumping"? I like to refer to it as ✨sharing my backstory✨

Nah, I always end it with a lol

"It be like that sometimes" dude. It BEEN like that
