Cope is overused buzzword currently, its somewhat even lost the the meaning.
To "cope" means to deal effectively with something difficult, manage stress, or handle problems successfully. It often implies enduring challenging situations like stress, high workloads, or trauma. As internet slang, it refers to denying reality or making excuses to justify a loss or failure.

"Ey brah, this is pure copium" so? i just dont wanna go fucking insane

Coping is fundamental for managing stability, stress, unwantful events in life, it helps you maintain be positive, keep and not allow depletion of your neurotransmitters, such as oxytocin, dopamine, serotonin, which are crucial for achieving better looks, and overall health. Coping isnt a negative thing at all, its usefull, until you stop recognizing that you are coping. You want your body to think the cope is working, but deep down you need to be aware of that what you are doing is bs and cope.

When the girl you love and obsess with doesnt fucking want you to the point you are fucking crying in bed, begging her in voicenotes like a little bitch, just cope & move on, just say to yourself stuff such as "Im gonna better myself" "imma ascend af" "imma fuck bitches all summer" stuff like this, it really helps. Coping is the ultimate way to maintain sanity.

Coping like the example i put above is absolutely superior to other shitty addictions


Coping peacefully >> drinking, selfharm, smoking, drugs, self-saboting your body(ED), porn, doomscrolling, etc.

or just actually get better


Water? Shit opinion? DNR? let me know anyways

True but coping in the case they're using would mean delusion but we all need coping in our life
 
A few things I would tweak are as follows:

1. "To "cope" means to deal effectively with something difficult, manage stress, or handle problems successfully. It often implies enduring challenging situations like stress, high workloads, or trauma. As internet slang, it refers to denying reality or making excuses to justify a loss or failure."

- Not necessarily a criticism as much as just a reframing here, but coping is just how we get through things, including automatic responses. Pulling our hand away after we touch a hot stove is by definition, at least in an academic sense, coping. So is having a hard day and drinking a 4 shots of liquor. It's just things people do to get through challenge, stress, or aversion. It does NOT mean to handle a problem successfully. There's a difference between coping strategies, healthy/unhealthy coping strategies, and automatic coping strategies. But again, not a criticism, just wanting to verify a definition.

2. "Coping is fundamental for managing stability, stress, unwantful events in life, it helps you maintain be positive, keep and not allow depletion of your neurotransmitters, such as oxytocin, dopamine, serotonin, which are crucial for achieving better looks, and overall health. Coping isnt a negative thing at all, its usefull, until you stop recognizing that you are coping. You want your body to think the cope is working, but deep down you need to be aware of that what you are doing is bs and cope."

- Neurotransmitters are not limited. We cannot deplete them. The brain can struggle to reabsorb quantities of certain neurotransmitters sometimes (such as Major Depressive Disorder), but we cannot run out. Nor do we have a manufacture rate limit such as how fast our body can create blood cells. If our brain is not creating neurotransmitters, we're dead. Like that's literally it.
- If I understand your post correctly, you're talking about what's called cognitive reframing. It's the idea of changing "I have to" into "I get to". That's an evidence based treatment for things like depressive episodes which you allude to later. That's very great, however, cognitive reframing was not designed to handle trauma. It's great and can help with grieving a break up, but if this break up is genuinely traumatic (which can and does happen), just reframing thoughts doesn't do much.

3. "When the girl you love and obsess with doesnt fucking want you to the point you are fucking crying in bed, begging her in voicenotes like a little bitch, just cope & move on, just say to yourself stuff such as "Im gonna better myself" "imma ascend af" "imma fuck bitches all summer" stuff like this, it really helps. Coping is the ultimate way to maintain sanity."
- Some people respond to positive affirmations. There's nothing wrong with it and it can be really great for some people.
- Regarding to coping being the ultimate way to maintain sanity, if we're looking at it from the perspective of reframing negative cognitions, this can be very true, again, as long as it's not traumatic. If someone's mental health is poor because of facial features, absolutely. If they're upset because their girlfriend cheated on them and broke up and took their dog that they shared, coping in that way isn't going to do much of anything.

4. "Coping like the example i put above is absolutely superior to other shitty addictions"
- I don't necessarily disagree. If there were an addiction that would be better, it would have to be exercise. Not even counting the physical benefits, the impact is has on mental health is ridiculously beneficial. Regular exercise is arguably the number one thing someone can do for the greatest impact on their mental health.

5. "Water? Shit opinion? DNR? let me know anyways"
- No majorly bad takes here. A lot of it is really good. It's definitely a great idea to try and reframe our negative thoughts where we're able and push through in our growth process
