      As an anonymous Internet person, I want you to know that I care about you.

      I also want you to know that I've gone through a lot of struggles, and I support you.

        Can I ask what the deal here is? Do you think my comments are inordinate within the context of "having been parented + human)? Do you think its unusual that I generalize feeling a proclivity towards feeling it necessary to respond satisfactorily in the face of external inquiries? Is that not a normal thing?

        I'm approaching all of this purely from the vantage point of curiosity :)

          Your idea makes perfect sense, though I think it's not only embedded in culture (parenting), but also in our nature as humans.

          I'm tempted to say that humans are born curious, and by extension, most humans like to share their knowledge or more often their opinions. I know I do.

            @cheese_greater@lemmy.world's thought process seems perfectly rational. Contrary, your continued belittling of and attempts to force OP into the role of a mentally ill person appears almost like a superiority complex or obsession, uncannily so.

            You're likely a wonderful person who just formulated yourself in a very unlucky way, but OP would surely have spoken up if they needed help.

              Wow. You are an enormous, condescending ass.

              This hits close to home because it reminds me of a time in my life. I, myself, am mentally ill and am disgusted that you think that asking if someone is ok is a problem or at all belittling to them.

              People very much do not speak up when they need help. I know I didn't.

              Don't be a dick.
