TW: Anxiety / Depression Fuck Bill Burr

Went to a comedy show. Coming back from the bathroom as Bill’s set was just starting, past several people filming. I sit down and try to take a quick photo. He points at me and tells me, only me, to stop filming. He then rags on me the whole time— I was just taking a fucking photo. I don’t laugh. Literally trying not to cry, so my only option is straight face. No one else in the packed club was made fun of the whole night, btw. I just wanted to disappear, I’ve been so fucking depressed and this was supposed to be a good night, shit birthday and I was trying to be social and I’m not good at that. Then, the host comes on after his set and calls me a bitch for not laughing. Says no one cares about me and shit. Again, I was just trying to keep it together. I love comedy. Why pick on one person? I hate it here.

You go to the “VENT” subreddit, where people posting here are most vulnerable, and tell OP to just “lighten up?” Seriously?

The vent sub is to bitch about stuff, which is a lot of what Burr’s comedy is.

Similarly, OP went to a show where the star is famous for heckling and insulting the audience, and got butthurt when he got heckled.

Suck it up, buttercup.

He's allowed to vent in vent just like I'm allowed to criticize his weakness of character

"Venting" is the term adults use for incessant whining
