Nah. Just fishing for the typical HN veiled insult.

Thanks. Much appreciated.



It’s not just about you. The submitter is likely to be the OP given their history.

“Life is meaningless.” (Unrelated example to illustrate the point.) This means different things depending the context, like if the person was depressed or if they were a professional philosopher.


Which is kind of why I didn't actually address their points, and simply added my own experience, from what their post brought up in me, without trying to analyze them (besides that they are young). Their grief, and their anxiety, are not really something that I can realistically appreciate, and I doubt there's much I could say, that would make anything better. I do appreciate their sharing vulnerably, and have no intentions of exacerbating their personal pain.

Figuring people out, from extremely small sample sizes, is a skill that I sometimes think that I have, but, in reality, completely lack.
