    These people both need to sit down and have some empathy for each other.

    They could be growing stronger together through their struggles rather than making it some competition about who is worse off. (Which, in this case, the guy has started by not empathizing at all)

    My mental health struggles in no way invalidate someone else’s struggles.

    I hate this kind of divisive bs.

      Division drives clicks. We are in the age of division. Everything is us vs them and everyone is always fighting. It’s so tiring.

        Everyone also thinks or assumes they know better or best. There is no acceptance of other information maybe being correct even if you present solid evidence. They’ll just take you for a fool who doesn’t know instead of learning anything from who might have more background or experience.

        I stopped doing anything arguments online all together because of this. (Happens irl too though but it’s far less polarizing)

        Unity drives clicks. We are in the age of unification. Nothing is “us vs them” and no one is ever fighting. It’s so refreshing.

        Gotcha! Now you’re part of the problem. It’s your fault!!
