    Must be nice feeling good about not actually solving any problems.

    Talking often helps people understand their feelings. Validation from others helps people feel that their problems are legitimate, solvable, and worth addressing.

    Talking may not immediately solve the underlying issue, but it’s a step on the way.

      OH, so they’re unconfidant, too. Got it.

      Sorry, but growing up the youngest in a shitty household made me immune to gaslighting. I could give two shits less if someone acknowledges a problem I know exists.

      Unless we’re talking about something like anthropogenic climate change… then it’s just maddening that over half of humanity seems to not care at all that the planet will be literally unlivable soon…
