    Yeah, you told me a sad story in a thread about other people. You turned it into a conversation about yourself instead of thinking about the perspective of others

    You’re the one not listening. I’ve been talking about other people this entire time and all you can think about is yourself and how hard it was for you and your bad memories.

    I’m doing fine. I don’t need your support. I’m not asking for your support. Not once have I told you that you should support me.

    I’m trying to tell you that compassion is free. You aren’t being asked to take care of anyone. You’re being asked not to place the blame at the feet of people who are suffering, and not to point at people who struggle and call them sick because “only an unwell person would do that.”

    You sound really narcissistic. Even your efforts to come off as supportive were performative and came back around to “but I said the thing, so I’m the good guy”.

    I don’t think you’re being aggressive. I don’t think you’re being mean. I don’t think you’re angry or hateful.

    I think you’re selfish.

    Muting you now so I don’t keep seeing your self-pitying excuses for why you should shun those who struggle with mental health. It’s really starting to make me sick
