Is this not true of everything? It is always easier to talk a good game than play it.
Religions have had this problem since the first caveman thought really big bears were awesome and should be celebrated. 
Don't take it so personally, man. 
IMO things are definitely better now. Twenty years ago I could not have told job interviewers that I have constant anxiety and am prone to depression in january.

Honestly, I've been told off for being depressed, even yelled at, by people who post about mental health awareness all day long. It's all a facade. >

I see mfs who's been a dick to me my entire life post mental health awareness shit online it's crazy >

I find the trend pretty hurtful. It's worse for people to believe others care and then have the actual response fall flat... It makes you feel like it's you in particular that isn't worthy of care. That's how it's made me feel, anyway. 
Also in business it might be rooted in progressive ideology but corporations can't ignore liabilities, and they're encouraging people to confess personal issues that might affect staffing decisions, even if never written or said out loud. Like "Bell Let's Talk" in Canada. Can't ignore or deny the donated funds of course. >

Yup, I found out on Bell Let's Talk Day, when people kept posting the hashtag but didn't want to actually "talk" about it. >

Last year or the year before, Bell laid off a ton of employees just days before Bell Let's Talk Day >

This is 100% true. Employers and schools just keeping up appearances and basically faking support. Employing support staff that does fuck all to actually help and support people in need and are there to only tick boxes and fulfill quotas. Living in the UK and even the NHS is useless in providing the support you need, the waiting to times for therapy are a fucking joke, waiting more than a year for something like 12 telephone sessions then being discharged even though you would need more intensive therapy, but that's only available to A) people that can pay for it and B)the middle class establishment that is connected to their GP by the old boy network. >

We need incentives in the UK for people who can afford it to go private to reduce those waiting times.
Instead the NHS is being sold off piece by piece to private companies. >

Reminds me of the guy who wore a sign saying “fuck the homeless” and got blasted by literally every person who passed by. He then switched it to “donate to homeless” or something similar and the vast majority ignored him.
