More White Guilt

So brave.

Actress Shailene Woodley of "Big Little Lies" appeared on Yahoo's Reset Your Mindset event Wednesday and admitted it's difficult admitting she's doing well amid the coronavirus pandemic when "so many people aren't" — and observers shot back with brutal commentary.
The interviewer noted to Woodley the phenomenon of those who feel "bad right now" despite having their health and employment and who feel "guilty about feeling anxious" — and then asked Woodley what she would say to them.
Woodley replied that she was talking to a friend about that subject and said to him, "I'm actually doing really good, but it's hard to say that when you know so many people aren't."
She added that her friend advised she should "recognize what's going on, to not be ignorant about what's going on, to be in service the best that you can, and to celebrate where you're at in your life as well." Woodley also said her friend noted that "guilt is not gonna help anything, and it's not going to progress this world."
YahooLife! added that "part of the way Woodley has been coping during the coronavirus pandemic has been readdressing her relationship with guilt."
"It's enough to actually drive us crazy and to create a certain like death within our own minds," Woodley said, the outlet noted.
A number of commenters weren't very sympathetic to Woodley's struggle over recognizing her fortunate state at the moment:
"What is wrong with these people? They want attention so badly that they aren't happy that they don't have problems?"
"It's funny how people like this have nothing helpful to add to this situation yet cant help from making it about themselves somehow..."
"Ahh, today's society. 'I'm a victim of not being a victim. You just can't understand my pain.'"
"Mental health advice from a Hollywood snowflake.....let that sink in for a half second or so!"
"So she's absolutely FINE, and she's whining about THAT??
These celebrities' victim complexes are beyond belief!"

White guilt is something rich white women and soy boys experience when their life is so comfortable they have to invent problems to add meaning to their otherwise empty lives.

Same...I have plenty of privilege and have been flaunting that to the dismay of the mental left

So an actress responds to a direct question in an interview that was probably scheduled well before the pandemic, saying that she’s doing fine but recognizes that others are hurting and thinks she can be more helpful/productive if she doesn’t get mired in survivor’s guilt ... and that equates to “whining” up there in her ivory tower while making everything all about her. Celebrities don’t usually get a whole lot of sympathy or attention from me, but I’m gonna go ahead and say Shailene Woodley isn’t actually the problem here.
Comment sections are a special kind of societal cancer.

Your missing a sense of self loathing and missing the ability to not see anything beyond the six inches in front of your face.

Dude, anyone who claims to be a victim of not being a victim deserves to be mocked ruthlessly. And that's true whether they are from Hollywood or Bumfricked Egypt because it's stupid

I get a paycheck every month. No, not SS. We pay ourselves off the money we saved and invested. Don't feel a bit of pain or guilt about that. Not one bit.

That was a commenter on her quote. I don't really see anything wrong with what she said. She recognizes a lot of people are hurting and she really isn't. It's called empathy.
She even added:
"guilt is not gonna help anything, and it's not going to progress this world."
So she has no white guilt.
and this
YahooLife! added that "part of the way Woodley has been coping during the coronavirus pandemic has been readdressing her relationship with guilt."
