Obviously I don't know you at all, and have no animosity whatsoever against you. Everything I said was offered as advice, and written from my perspective to explain what helped for me, in the hope that there is maybe enough overlap that it can also help you. As for being patronizing and criticizing, you are probably mostly referring to my last part. I stand by what I've written: "You have to be productive in your free time" is a mindset that I find irritating, contra-productive, and harmful to perpetrate. I am allowed to criticize this in a public forum as long as I don't get personal. I aimed at attacking this particular statement, not your character (and absolutely nothing in what you've written gave me any reason to do so).
