Your evidence is… the comment i responded to? Not very compelling. It doesn’t feature you giving any sympathy, just saying you don’t get it. And the implication thus far is that you simply can’t conceive of it happening. Not the most empathetic stance, is it?
It reminds me of the guys that claim sexism no longer exists, asking “but where is there any sexism?” And then shooting down all examples as not counting, continuing to ask “where is this sexism?”
Well then I guess it’s good that I’m not asking for sympathy. Just an explanation. Thankfully, people other than you were kind enough to give explanations.
I have no idea why you thought I claimed you were looking for sympathy. You must not have actually read it properly. I said you are not giving sympathy. And yeah - I didn’t give you an explanation, exactly because other people have. That’s kinda the point I was making - others have already explained it to you, and your bewildered “oh golly gee, people aren’t that mean!” attitude struck me as resisting to believe people can actually be so cruel. Not just aghast at it, but refusing to actually believe they are telling the truth and not just mistaken.
No, you didn’t
And as far as I can tell, the only one here being hostile would be you.

Please quote me refusing to believe they are telling the truth.
Literally every response of yours to people explaining how they were abused for showing emotion.
Your first comment, especially:
Stop making this more complicated than it actually is. Accept the criticism and grow as a person.
So I never actually said I didn’t believe anyone and you were just lying. Got it.
You don’t see how that comes across as challenging the truth of their story?
