Nothing personal (I mean, seriously, nothing personal)

Little (probably hard) advice for if/when you're going to say something like that to a zoomer irl (based on personal experience from the receiving end):

The "you aren't as alone as it might seem" gets the "what you're saying is just factually incorrect and what you're trying to do is to bullshit me and maybe possibly yourself" thing going. I have never heard something like that from a person "in the weeds".

Same for "We'll figure it out". How much time have you personally spent "figuring it out" and how much time have you spent playing hot potato with the problem? How important is it compared to your own problems? I guess, not very, so there is no "us" figuring it out.

Basically, don't be a disingenuous dense motherfucker and don't bullshit other people and yourself. Not saying you personally are doing it, but there are definitely more people that do, than that don't.

For clarity, this response is personal.

Attitude is a potion or a poison.

Make the choice.

Want demons? You'll find them.

Want help? You'll find it.

Many, many people have spent time figuring it out.

Many, MANY people have went into professions or made life style choices to help.

The will to overcome your own narcissism and self pity are key to any healing.
