Do you think your comments are effective? People don’t generally react well to someone telling them “your idea is stupid, you need to see a therapist”.

- zug_zug 3y agoYes, I think my comments are effective, but I don't think they are pleasant. It seems like you think it's wrong to give great advice that might hurt feelings, if that's what you think then I think you're wrong and possibly causing more harm in the long term.
- dwaltrip 3y agoIf someone close to you was getting so obsessed with longevity that it was negatively affecting the other aspects of their life, then it might be reasonable to talk them about getting professional help. It could be a difficult discussion, but it might be the right thing to do. But c’mon, suggesting the same to someone on the internet who hasn’t displayed any of those issues is ridiculous. You don’t actually stand by that do you? Everyone who thinks longevity is a realistic possibility has some deep-seated issue about death?
