I fail to understand the people on this sub. Most comments on ANY post here either complain or hate the post. It's as if they have joined this sub just to criticize/hate evry post.

Same thought here. Also, people love to take the posts 100% literally and if it doesn't apply to every single life situation of every person on earth ever it's a terrible post. Think a bit outside the box, people. Or just keep scrolling, idk. The negativity feels quite toxic.

Someone else who gets it! it’s like they expect every little detail of any circumstance ever to be accounted and accommodated for in 1-2 sentence image macros. Sad that r/GetMotivated is one of the most defeatist subreddits

A lot of these motivational quotes can be interpreted in multiple ways due to your mental state. I feel like if all one sees from them is the bad, then that’s an issue with one’s attitude..

This sub is used by so many to cope, and they cope by complaining and bitching that nothing will help them, or this certain post doesn't apply to them and is therefore terrible for everyone. It's exhausting and they need to go somewhere else for their cope.

because if you like it,,, you enjoy it and move on, give an upvote.

If you think its shit, and possibly toxic, you want to comment and get rid of it.

Something like that

Seriously. I glance in here every once in a while, and while I get that sometime it can have a cloying 'everyone is special' vibe, it really seems like people go out of their way to be contrarian.

I have a pretty significant event coming up that I was anticipating a lot, and I actually found this a helpful reminder to take a deep breath and put everything in perspective. So thanks OP!

Probably because the posts are karma farms. A little weird an account with a 2 month post history has 12,000 post and 12,000 comment karma. Same with those ask reddit posts that end up getting read in robot voice on tiktok or YouTube shorts paired with a mobile game to keep people's attention.
