I interpreted your stance as a projection, and triggered off of the 'lazy' bit as being insensitive and manifesting the same unnecessary scolding. For all I know that person is doing CBT and maybe even making a lot of effort - not just throwing their hands in the air as you seem to think. Being frustrated that large parts of society doesn't give you any slack isn't an admission that you are somehow not trying.
