Benefit Hate

Hello

I am just wondering if people on here have seen an increase in hate against those who claim disability benefits and PIP? I see it popping up all the time on tiktok and facebook in particular.

For those on benefits how do you cope with this, for me i feel extremely guilty that i am in the situation i am in.

How do you cope with this negativity?

  • I don't use Facebook and tiktok so I have no idea what's going on there. Those strangers don't know you and your situation.  You know it, you know why you are in this situation and it would be better for you to avoid listening/reading such content. Social media is full of hate, narcissistic people,  lies, there is also AI and all kind of stuff. I use only Instagram sometimes,  I like those posts about art and science. At least partially also created by AI... but this is the only reason I stay there. 

  • I agree, we choose to be on social media and we can choose not to be, I don't have any social media apart from here. If you want to use other platforms for groups and keeping up with family, fine, but do you really need to watch and listen to all this negativity? I think it's a case of not feeding the trolls.

  • I mainly use social media to read/watch things i rarely post unless if for my volunteering.. Just seems everywhere its rammed down your throat.. I try and avoid it but i dont decide what the algorithm suggests. I am going to try and reduce what i look at though
