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

The Siwonera translation is, basically, giving you grief for getting likes or having things done to you . It is clickbait with emotions. It's opening an Instagram live while you have a "heavy anxiety attack." It's like climbing a BeReal with your face dripping 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 publicly? 🧐

Short answer: 

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

Long answer:

Some time ago, what was cool on Instagram was leading a life that looked like #PutoHappy. But tastes change. 

Now what is important is to be #PutoReal: with your flaws, your downturns and your annoyances. They no longer like influencers with perfect lives, now they like the group that has anxiety attacks on public transport. Because #InfluencersAlsoCry.

Whether that grief is genuine or not... we will never know (and, be careful, it is not up to us to judge either).

The depression does not forgive: the consequences of believing that Instagram is therapy

• We are the saddest generation . 🤧 You don't need to be famous, an influencer or sell your emotional problems on social networks. Nothing is as democratic today as anxiety, fatigue, sadness... or everything at the same time. Is it going to be less real for posting a story with a sad song? No, of cors. But what a decade of Greek tragicomedy is leaving us . 
  
  
• Ass I see, ass I want. 🍑 The problem with the group with so many followers practicing sadfishing... is that they have many followers. And the name influencers is not by chance: How many people will be willing to follow an example and seek support in networks instead of among their trusted people? And that brings us to…
  
  
• Neglect our networks… in real life. 🤳 It is worthy of study that the immensity of the internet feels like a safer environment than your flesh-and-blood social circle. About meeting your colleague to tell you about your dramas... it doesn't always take as long as writing a thread on Twitter.

Although not everything was going to be bad... what if famous people's tears had a positive side? 🥲

• We tone down that obsession with giving a perfect image to the gallery to give more focus to feeling better about ourselves.
  
  
• We no longer aspire to self-diagnose ourselves, as if a Superpop test on the psychology page could tell you if you are depressed or have post-traumatic stress disorder. That there are so many people exposing their actions 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.
  
  
• Ok, social networks are not there to fill gaps, but they can serve to open, enlarge and reinforce our support networks.
     
• It is clear that if we want to talk better about mental health , we necessarily have to talk more about mental health.

a nice one

That after so much time giving up our noses to defend self-care, inside and out…. 

We are not in a position where anyone can now come and tell the rest of the group where they can or cannot cry, ask for help, open their mouths and talk about #SinFilters about mental health.
