...You realize that basically everyone is only taking the prescribed dosage which comes in a pretty reasonable range right? There's really no reason to even want more than that, they won't get you high and I've never even heard of someone seeking out SSRIs and I've heard of fucking prednisone seekers. I think you'd really struggle to find a drug that is less frequently abused than SSRIs in proportion to how common they are.
The point isn't abuse, its that you are completely lost in the trap of "well I'm fine so they must be fine period."
The abuse of them isn't in their overuse, its their overprescription and lifelong commitment, in which you can physically watch people slow down into a zombielike state with an empty stare that is common enough for people to note it. A problem so slow acting that people on it rarely notice it happening to themselves, but because people on them never really quit they lack the perspective to ever see it.
What you're describing is the intended effect, they work well enough to shut people up so we stop complaining about our problems and that's the whole reason I'm forced to take them, because my parents are my only real life social contact and they don't want to hear me complain.
No part of what you said is a positive thing, and you have my pity for it. And saying such, you now answered your original question about why people hate them.
Depends on your perspective. If you're in a position where complaining has gotten you banned on every platform you've ever used, kicked out of every friend group you've had, damaged your family life and put you at risk of homelessness then being numbed to the point of not caring about anything is at least of some benefit.
People really just hate when men like me speak about our problems and attack us when we do, so either we accept endless abuse and put our lives at risk because of it or we shut up, pretend everything is fine and are allowed to exist in society. Drugs are the only option.
