It’s almost fascinating how a post criticising x behaviour will generate replies almost exclusively demonstrating that same x behaviour.
They need studying
Before we even start - if yoga/meditation/whatever bullshit worked for you that’s great, but it’s definitely not for everyone, spare us the sales pitch, this post isn’t for you.
Edit for those clearly still missing the point: if this doesn’t apply to you, the meme isn’t for you, it’s pretty simple, not everything in the world is and it’s ok to sometimes shut the fuck up and let the people it does apply to just have the space to relate without you barging in and making it about you. Fuck you.
Yoga is about exercise, it’s different to meditation.
Buddy, OP clearly had no idea what any of these things are and does not intend to find out or check their prejudice. You can’t discuss ignorance and will just serve as an outlet for their rage, which they feel much more at home and comfortable with.
Awww, someone doesn’t want your unsolicited and inappropriate advice that completely misses the point, diddums, is not everything centered around you today? Poor baby… Not to worry, nothing you have to say is new or especially informative, but of course it’s the other person who’s ignorant rather than simply completely out if patience and fucks to give for bullshit like yours, exactly the kind that the meme you’re responding to depicts…
It is okay to cry every now and then.
It is, thanks for the demonstration!
No one gives a shit and everyone who relates to this knows the two are interchangeable
Lol they’re not interchangeable. Most people do yoga without meditation, and people meditate without doing yoga. They’re two different and separate things.
You’re absolutely right.
I like the movement, stretching, and “connecting with your body”-feel of yoga.
But meditation can fuck right off. I can’t pair the two. My therapist keeps trying to push me into it, but it makes my anxiety skyrocket.
Also: OP, why are you being so hostile?
why are you being so hostile?
Because fuck you that’s why ¯_ (ツ)_/¯
If people don’t want to be told to fuck off (the horror!) maybe they should try not derailing the post with pointless pedantry or centering their experience after specifically being asked not to.
No one gives a shit
You’ve done your derailing, now fuck off.
Are you…crying?
Lmfao, desperate for attention are we?

Lmfao, “how dare you tell me my unsolicited bullshit advice isn’t welcome??!!112”
This is literally my magazine and the rules are fucking clear.
Don’t like it? YOU fuck off.
