Okay, conversation completed. I have gained information about your current mental state which could be pertinent in near-future event planning, and no further action required on my part. I have been told that's unsympathetic, and on some levels it could be twisted to seem so, but I offered to create solutions, unlike all those useless "sympathetic" people.
Yeah. It was more just… How extreme the responses were…
Not “Ok, maybe I can help with x” or inquiring for further details, just either “Shut up, I don’t want to hear it”, or “Maybe you should drop out of your degree and move back to your hometown”, or similar, which was literally the worst advice they could have given, at the time…
I’ve also had the “go to therapy” comment, like so many others…
That was the end of that relationship, when she wouldn’t even talk, and just insisted on that. Terrible…
What you’re saying you do isn’t… Quite so cold, IMHO. That’s different.
But yeah, it was more just that there was no “Anything I can do to help”.
All I got was “That’s your problem, not mine. I don’t want to deal with it, and frankly, I think you should drop your whole life here because you’re clearly not up to it”.
I'm a doer, not an idler.
"I've been stressed."
-> "Anything I can do to help?"
"No."

That was… Well, let’s say, worse than cold, lol…
People suck, in general, heh.
