I agree with you there, Im sure Ive come across as blunt more than once, but certain posts, where its just obviously belittling the OP makes me extremely angry, such as (trying not to aim at any specific person or thread)
E.g "Dont you have more going on in your life than to worry about this?"
Those kind of responses make me so angry, and are the reason I barely ask for support , and Ive noticed others around saying that theyre unwilling to ask . It just makes me sad, that on a support site so many people are scared to ask for support because of the responses they'll get
