@Looking First, they post about their issues on Facebook. I 90-95% of the time post things I find funny, or an article, or artwork, or music. We have chatted in private for about 3-4 years about many different topics - personal stuff is one of those topics. But, they tended to make comments that seemed insensitive at times... and like it's a competition (for lack of a better way to say it)

And it doesn't invalidate my issues. It just means that they may not be the best person to give me support I need. And that is okay. I have other friends.
