I read some people who vent on their posts or talk about problems they face in life and the replies they get is, no you are the problem, fuck you.

On Reddit, the only thing that is close to this is when women complain about their boyfriends, they got told to leave them, whatever is her complaint about.

Any explanation?

    You could empathize with them, if they’re open to it then maybe ask why it keeps happening. You could also say nothing if it’s a stranger on the internet. If this person is important to you then yeah, tell better them how strong and brave they are and how stupid and mean that wall is. There’s a time and place for constructive criticism.

    Who shouldn’t be taking care of themselves? Everybody and nobody. It’s supposed to work so that if you need help you get help and if you can help then you give help.

        Unfortunatly I don’t have the means to help you, good luck.

        If you want to have a romantic partner in the future then I suggest you figure this stuff out.

          according to your logic your failure to help me is your failure as human being. weird how you demand others have empathy and demand they help others, but you yourself refuse to do so when confronted with that demand from a stranger on the internet.

          it’s almost like you refuse to behave by the rules of behavior you demand of others.

          do i? or am i simple pointing out the fault of this kind of thinking where a person demands other people treat people a certain way, but refuses themselves to follow the social obligations they demand of others?

          but hey, i get in many online people’s words hypocrisy is considered normal and non-hypocrisy freaks them out as abnormal

            You 1,000% need to see someone. It’s not even debatable at this point. This thread is a whole case study on why it would be beneficial for you to speak to a therapist.
