The official™ definition of sadfishing It would be something like: “posting emotional problems on the internet with the aim of arousing compassion or attention.”

The Siwonera translation basically means to play the victim online to get likes or that they pay attention to you and little things. It's clickbaiting with emotions. It's going live on Instagram while having a "heavy anxiety attack." It's posting a BeReal video with your face smeared with snot and tears.

And why are we like this? - let's open 🔎 Psychological, anthropological, and sociological research to understand…

Why do influencers and celebrities insist on crying in public? 🧐

Short answer:

With the mental health boom, being sad makes you popular.

Long answer:

A while back, the cool thing on Instagram was living a life that looked #FuckingHappy. But tastes change.

Now the trend is to be #PutoReal: with your flaws, your low moods and your disappointments. Influencers with perfect lives are no longer popular; now people who have anxiety attacks on public transport are in demand. Because #InfluencersCryToo.

Whether that sorrow is genuine or not... we'll never know (And, be careful, it's not up to us to judge it either).

The blues don't forgive: the consequences of believing Instagram is therapy

• We are the saddest generation. 🤧 You don't need to be famous, an influencer, or sell your emotional problems on social media. Nothing is as democratic these days as anxiety, tiredness, sadness… or all of them at once. Does posting a story with a sad song make it any less real? No, of course not. But What a decade of Greek tragicomedy we're turning out to be!.
  
  
• I see an ass, I want an ass. 🍑 The problem with people with so many followers practicing sadfishing... is that they have too many followers.And the name "influencers" isn't accidental: How many people will be willing to follow their example and seek support on social media instead of from their trusted circle? And that leads us to…
  
  
• Neglecting our networks… of real life. 🤳 It is worth studying that the vastness of the internet feels like a safer environment than your flesh-and-blood social circle. Meeting up with your colleague to tell each other your dramas… It doesn't always pull as much as writing a Twitter thread.

But it wasn't all bad... what if the tears of celebrities had a positive side? 🥲

• We brought him down a peg. that obsession with projecting a perfect image in the face of the gallery to give more focus to feeling better about ourselves.
  
  
• We no longer aspire to self-diagnose, as if a Superpop-style test The psychologyandmind website could tell you if you are depressed or have post-traumatic stress. The fact that so many people are exposing their moves also helps to show that Mental health has many faces And not all of them have to be the same, but We can all ask for help.
  
  
• Okay, social media isn't meant to fill voids, but it can help us to open, expand and strengthen our support networks.
  
• It is clear that if we want to talk about mental health in a better way, We absolutely have to talk more about mental health.

in the end

After so much time spent fighting tooth and nail to defend self-care, inside and out…

We're not in a position to have anyone come and tell the rest of the group where they can or can't cry, ask for help, open up and talk #Unfiltered about mental health.
