Why does Dan delete his tweet tho. I didn't follow the band at all in the whole year of 2020 and when I come back here everything disappear​ lol
ok I know now and honesty? Well yes he's in the wrong. Unintentionally,​ unstable, I know.​ But that's not ok. so it's great he takes a break
addiction is not even remotely close to selfish. That's like saying depression​ is selfish. Which is not because addiction is uncontrollable. Who tf want addiction​ if they can choose. Same with depression.
Sorry to bring it up months later but I just know it literally this minute and I'm kinda.....​hurt?​ I know people who pass away because drug and alcohol addiction and no,​ no one choose to drink theirselves to death. It is not selfish.
and people defending him is kind of....​er......​While I know that dan will never intentionally hurt anyone, it does hurt. You can compare it to any simple thing. Let's say Dan accidentally​ step on your foot. Telling him it was hurt is not bullying -​_-
But it's not exactly the same with stepping on foot. The pain was greater. There are a lot of people suffer because of addiction. Like I said,​ addiction​ is a kind of mental illness, like depression.​ Now,​ we know that Dan is always speak up about depression ++
++ When the person who always advocate about this subject said something which can be interpreted that addiction​ is selfish,​ it stings.​ Hurt,​ angry,​ confused,...​you choose.​ People deal with it different​ly. But the pain is real. Especially​ those who held him up high.
Now go back to Dan. He apologized.​ He leaved twitter.​ I won't say he deserve​s it because he didn't intend to hurt someone of course, but say something like "oh great you bully him out of twitter" is just bullshit. He is 32.​ He is celebrity​ adult. he's mature than me and you
++ he did the right thing. He has apologized​ and take time off to...​you know,​ reflect on himself. It is gonna be harder for him because he has such a big heart and it's hurt to hurt someone.​ We can be here and support​ him through tough time. ++
++ but to lashing out on people who calling him out is just distasteful?? Someone said that we shouldn't go hard on Dan because he's got depression​ etc.​ But how did you know that people calling him out didn't have any problem? They could be someone currently have addiction ++
++ or their good friends, their family...​Now stop and thinking for a second. If someone,​ celebrity​ or not, just tweet "depression is selfish"​ they're gonna be ratio'd to death. Yeah,​ same with addiction.​ Both are mental illness.
(this thread is no longer about dan, but his fans, which of course including me)​ Telling people who are hurt that they are wrong is just an ultimate form of gaslighting. Final thought​: Dan tells you to speak up about depression​,​ not only HIS depression.
idk why this anger me so much. Dan's tweet make me hurt a bit,​ but to see that there are fans who are ready to defend every bit of a celebrity down to the toenail without caring that others thousand people will be hurt in process make me so much more hurt.​ ++
++ and of course, completely​ opposite from what dan wants. He wants everybody to be happy. That's why accidentally​ say hurtful things hurt him so much. But some fans hurt people's feeling so much more just to defend your favourite​ celebrity.​ Now that's what I call selfish.
