I think you are confused, this was posted on Indie Hackers under the self care section, not to hacker news directly.

Besides that, there is no point to compare risks and suffering, both are relative and subjective experiences.

And lastly, social anxiety could be (or not) by it self a major problem, bigger than losing a Green Card, your comment sounds too condescending and not really useful.

I disagree... In the article, the writer says, "If I share an article on Reddit I feel anxious for a week"..

Clearly he was in the wrong line of work. I'm not saying it wasn't worth sharing in self-care, but I don't feel we should be overly sympathetic when the bottom line is that the guy seems to have made a series of predictably bad moves. It sounds like he was hoping to make short term sacrifices for some sort of startup dream outcome, but clearly that only happens a small amount of the time. He's probably on r/entrepreneur right now dreaming about drop shipping.

Thanks for saying this ! It was akin to responding to someone suffering from something that people in Africa have it worse and they shouldn’t be complaining ...
