- dogleash 5mo agoI can agree with you while still agreeing with parent poster that it's basically "git gud"-tier bullying. Very very few orators can successfully pull off "just fix your problems bro" as anything beyond a generic kick in the pants for the people presently predispositioned to be motivated by one.
- justonceokay 5mo agoI regularly bully my close friends into being better people. It just so happens that I fell down the staircase of life much earlier than a lot of people do. I had to do most of my “midlife crisis” thinking in my early 20s because most of my family died and I had to come out as gay without any support. Now that I’m in my 30s I have the joy of helping my friends along on this journey called life. Sometimes people just need a gentle nudge up the staircase. Sometimes they need to be carried against their will
- hackable_sand 5mo agoI'm trying to figure out how to manage a similar situation. It's like your friends wanna party raid but they keep going in with incomplete builds I only got so much patience before I find a new guild
- arowthway 5mo agoI agree it can feel frustrating and inactionable but it's not bullying, it's a thoughtful well-meaning response. Actually if it makes you feel bad it's a signal it may be worth contemplating more.
- svnt 5mo agoIt may be well-meaning, but it is clearly not thoughtful.
- shimman 5mo agoThey aren't saying this tho, they are saying to go to therapy to help solve it.
