i'm going out. i love you. i understand how my tone can be conflated, even fairly, with an uncaring, unsympathetic boomers. i'm sure you're dealing with your mental or emotional health things (i have as well, and probably still am a bit). i'm sure we are projecting in our own way. i only mean for us to all be better, because i know we can be.

enjoy the new year comrade(s).

look here: comments like "I've also personally devalued human relationships" are totally alienated and are not cool. implicitly endorsing them, and not challenging them, is also not cool. if you don't like my bedside manner, fine. but i'm the only person who provided OP with any kind of positive feedback, so again miss me with the crocodile tears.

and frankly, yes, i categorially reject the notion that OP can't or shouldn't be challenged, given their emotional/mental wellbeing. that's totally infantilizing. as a leftist, human relationships are a necessary good; not succumbing to despair is a necessary disposition to the World. you're welcome to frame in another, more superficially empathic way. but fucking do it then.
