here's the thing: everyone complains about late capitalism and how alienated and isolated we all are. everyone acknowledges this, and reassures each other of this, alone.
you need to get out of yourself, and your head, and your small bubble of one, and you need to go see old friends, or former friends, or people in your social circle who are just meh, or your annoying roommates, or your co-workers, or your former co-workers, or your lame family members, or your lame and bigoted family members, or strangers at a bar, or whomever, and party. meeting people is praxis, strengthening relationships is praxis, making yourself seen and vulnerable to another is praxis. please, guys, go out.
this, here, now, is a facsimile, mediated through a thousand screens. go kiss, go get kissed, go reject a kiss, go be denied a kiss. go out.
That's an incredibly generous reading of both the OP and the prior replies leading up to here.
You're upset enough at me sticking up for "shut ins" that you're apparently accusing me of being a "shut in" too.
No hostility from the OP or the OP's "advice" defenders. None at all! :sus:
you constantly get caught up in your invented narrative of 10 layers deep of internet poison
Your least hostile post yet. It's so disgusting that some shut-ins didn't accept the not hostile wholesome advice, isn't it? Some might even say it's crazy which never means someone is mentally ill. :sus:
you are vastly more hostile than anyone else in here, and every comment you make drips with condescension and like 6 layers of intention mind reading and assumptions
Are you going anywhere with this besides further demonstrating that the "not hostile" unsolicited advice for "shut-ins" maybe was hostile after all if you feel this strongly about defending it?
do you ever stop and re-read your comments to see how you would sound to an outside person? you're always airing some ancient grievance of yours that you've built up over the months of obsessive posting, and you're always passive aggressively trying to dunk on people you argued with and one up them months later - resulting in these complex gordian knots of comments where the only thing outsiders can parse is the condescending tone and emojis, and the implications within implications that you are following are entirely lost to everyone else

The answer to my above question is no, then.
Nobody ever has any idea what you are even talking about you are so far gone in mind reading assumptions and logical leaps
Disengage.
It's a pretty normal reading actually, it baffles me how anybody could be so upset at a post like that tbh.
I'll just agree to disagree there.
It isn't the responsibility of an audience to have the exact reaction the speaker demands of them.
If your first reaction to somebody being happy and telling other people to be happy and socialize is "um ackschly sweaty..." you should probably do some introspection.
There's that generous interpretation I mentioned. Cherry-picking, really.
People didn't react the way OP (or you) wanted them to. So clearly that wasn't their interpretation. Apparently to you that interpretation is invalid.
I tried sticking up for other people and it's been tiring, even if it only makes the hostility more apparent with each defense of it.
I'm really not interested in going through this song and dance yet again this morning.
It's not invalid, it is unhealthy though.
It's only healthy to thank someone for abrasively delivered unsolicited advice?
I personally went out. I think I came back too soon, especially considering the shitstorm in this thread because I tried sticking up for people that couldn't, wouldn't, or shouldn't for any number of reasons.
Is it "unhealthy" for all of them no matter their reasons?
If they didn't like the post they could have just, you know, scrolled past it and not interact with it. OP wasn't calling out anybody in particular, it's entirely yours and their choice to take the post so seriously.
If that applies, then if the OP's defenders didn't like the replies that the OP received, they could have done the same. It was entirely their choice to take those replies so seriously.
I'm tired of this. I logged back in too soon and this "not hostile" thread harshed my buzz. I better go.
